This had been proposed by Lord Rotherwood, and was what the aunts would have found convenient; but apparently this had been settled by Lord Rotherwood and the two little girls, but Lady Rotherwood had not said anything about it, and quoth Mysie, 'Somehow things don't happen till Lady Rotherwood settles them, and then they always do. 'And shall I like Miss Elbury? asked Valetta.
'Berryton oh! that's just four miles out on the other side of Elbury, where Susan Congleton went to live that was housemaid at the Grange. She says it's such a nice place, and such beautiful organ and singing at church! And what did you say you were to be, Paul? 'I'm to help the school-master. 'Gracious me! cried Ellen. 'Why, such a scholar as you are, you'll be quite a gentleman yet, Paul.

The house stood in a neat garden, with green railings between it and the road, over which Alfred could see every one who came and went towards Elbury, and all who had business at the post-office, or at Farmer Shepherd's.
It really was too preposterous, and Victoria said she had no doubt from the first that there was exaggeration, and had told Miss Elbury so; but still she thought Gillian must have been to blame.

'Perhaps not; but she must have been deeply involved, since she was the one amongst all the guilty to be expelled. 'Oh, Victoria! Was that what you heard? 'Miss Elbury heard it from the governess she was under. Surely she was the only one not permitted to go up for the examination and removed.
