After this considerate remark, he started to rejoin his regiment but deemed it prudent before losing sight of Desnoyers to give him a little advice.

Those events were too recent to be already forgotten, yet the girls were generous enough to be considerate of each others' failings, and had resolved to entertain no sentiment other than good will on the eve of their departure for such a charming outing as Uncle John had planned for them. Mr. Merrick being a man, saw nothing radically wrong in the dispositions of any of his nieces.

He felt sure of it, for no better reason than this: the moment he looked at her she interested him.
They who remembered him, among those who had not yet lost that old-fashioned art, were very few a young girl here and there, over whom he had been absent-mindedly sentimental; a débutante or two who had adored him from a distance as a friend of elder sister or brother; here and there an old, old lady to whom he had been considerate, and who perhaps remembered something of the winning charm of the Siwards when the town was young his father, perhaps, perhaps his grandfather these thought of him at intervals; the remainder had no leisure to remember even if they had not forgotten how to do it.
There would have been no hostility at all if just and considerate treatment had been the rule throughout. In justification of this statement we have only to follow the action of the king-maker, Tamihana, of the old "king," Potatau, and even of his successor, Tawhiao.
