Haydon had four years before gone to Germany to see her parents, and had taken the girls with her. This visit had been for Mrs. Haydon most successful, though her children had not liked it very well. Mrs. Haydon was a good and generous woman, and she patronized her parents grandly, and all the cousins who came from all about to see her. Mrs. Haydon's people were of the middling class of farmers.
'Well, cousin! said Mr Jonas 'Because we ARE cousins, you know, a few times removed so you're going to London? Miss Mercy replied in the affirmative, pinching her sister's arm at the same time, and giggling excessively. 'Lots of beaux in London, cousin! said Mr Jonas, slightly advancing his elbow. 'Indeed, sir! cried the young lady.
"My Lord," said Sir Robert, "I am as much confounded as yourself I can give no advice let my cousins see the letter let us have their opinion." They read it in turn they were equally surprised; but when it came into Wenlock's hand, he paused and meditated some minutes.
"I shall not fail to give directions to the sentries about the rockets, Alfred," said Captain Sinclair, "and so tell your mother and cousins; and mind to show them how to fire them off from out of the barrel of a musket. Good-by; God bless you, my dear fellow." "Good-by," replied Alfred, as the boats pulled from the shore.
"I should like to try and milk a cow," exclaimed Reginald, who felt ambitious to imitate his cousins' example and make himself useful. "We have two more heifers to milk, and you shall try; but I don't think you will succeed at first," said Paul. Reginald was determined to make an attempt.
There is also his sister, Miss Julia, with her French governess, and Sir Reginald's cousins, the Miss Pembertons.
Her opinion was sought as to the probable continuance of the open weather, but her answers were as short and indifferent as civility allowed. She could not wish him to stay, and would much rather not have him speak to her. Her two absent cousins, especially Maria, were much in her thoughts on seeing him; but no embarrassing remembrance affected his spirits.
Billy Mink was there, and all his relations, even old Grandfather Mink, who has lost most of his teeth and is a little hard of hearing. Little Joe Otter was there, with his father and mother and all his relations even to his third cousins. Bobby Coon was there, and he had brought with him every Coon of his acquaintance who ever fished in the Smiling Pool or along the Laughing Brook.
Douglas noticed the flutter, and knew very well what it meant. Lady Tamworth and his father were first cousins. No doubt all their relations were busy discussing their affairs day and night; the City, he knew, was full of rumours, and certain newspapers had already scented the quarry ahead, and were beginning to make ghoulish hints and gibberings.
You only have to write a letter, which Mr. Ito will give you. Then I can become quite Japanese again, and Mr. Fujinami can take me back into his family. Also you will be free to marry an English girl. But don't have anything to do with Miss Smith. She is a very bad girl. I shall never marry anybody else. My cousins are very kind to me. It is much better for me to stay in Japan.
