Angela's visit to Vale Leston had been partly spoilt by the little girl's fretful worry at the elder children, and by the somewhat uncalled for fears that all the Vanderkists were hard on the poor little colonial damsel; but whether it was the air of Rock Quay, or the quiet influence of Miss Prescott, Lena certainly improved in health at the Goyle, and was much more amenable, and less rudely shy.
If my station is inferior I will work " "That is not the point. Vera is too young for such things. What does your father say?" "My father sees that I am right." "I see what that means," said Magdalen, smiling. "But where is he? I should like to talk to him." Mr. Delrio, pretty well knowing what was going on, was found endeavouring to distract his mind by sketching the Goyle.
"What's the name of it?" "The Goyle. I believe it is a diminutive of Gully, a narrow ravine. It is lovely even now, and will be delightful when you come to me in April " "Shall I leave school?" asked Vera. "I shall be seventeen in May." "You will all leave school. Mrs.
They were, however, much better satisfied with the Ceylonese Lily, who was a very well trained civilised specimen, conversing very prettily over one of Aunt Jane's picture books, which Bessie looked at with her, and showing herself fully able to read the titles beneath, a feat of which Lena was quite incapable, though she was less on the defensive than she had shown herself at the Goyle, and Angela was far more at her ease than when she was conscious that "Field's" original love was watching the introduction to his sisters.
Vera and Paulina were in ecstasy, and there was a continual mounting, attempting and nearly falling, or turning anywhere but the right, little screams, and much laughter, Jasper attending upon Vera, who, in spite of her failures, looked remarkably pretty and graceful upon Valetta's machine; while Paula, whom Mysie and Valetta were both assisting, learnt more easily and steadily, but looked on with a few qualms as to the entire crystal rock constancy that Vera had professed, more especially when Jasper volunteered to come over to the Goyle and give another lesson.
Then, thinking upon the lay of the land, Amos reckoned the second might be most like to lead to the air. And yet his heart sank a minute later, for he guessed rightly as it proved that the south tunnel was that which opened into a cave at Smallcumbe Goyle, near half a mile down under.
The railroad had obtained authority to pass through the Goyle, and thus break up her home and shelter.
"May I ask whether you are living here?" "Two miles off at the Goyle, at Arnscombe, with our sister." "So I heard! I shall see you again." And he turned aside to give an order, bowing as he did so. "Is he the artist of those sweet designs?" asked Sister Mena. "Did we not tell you?" "And now he is going to execute them? How delicious!" "I trust so! We must see him again.

"Goyle Bay," as it is called, or sometimes "Basin Bay," is a lonely and rugged place, and even dangerous for unwary visitors.
Nor was there any chance that either Lily Underwood at Clipstone or Lena Merrifield at the Goyle would escape; indeed, they both showed an amount of discomfort that made it safer to keep them where they were, than to try to escape in the sharp east wind and frost. No one was much dismayed at what all regarded as a trifling ailment, even if dignified as German.
