"Good evening, cuckoo," said Griselda, when he had finished. "Good morning, you mean," said the cuckoo. "Good morning, then, cuckoo," said Griselda. "Have you considered about me, cuckoo?" The cuckoo cleared his throat. "Have you learnt to obey orders yet, Griselda?" he inquired. "I'm trying," replied Griselda.
"Dear Lady Lufton!" said Griselda, putting up her hand so as to press the end of her ladyship's fingers. It was the first piece of animation she had shown, and Lucy Robarts watched it all. And then there was music. Lucy neither played nor sang; Fanny did both, and for an amateur did both well.
Then Mrs Stumfold very particularly desired to be remembered to Sir John Ball, and expressed a hope that, at some future time, she might have the honour of being made acquainted with "the worthy baronet." They were married in the first week in August, and our modern Griselda went through the ceremony with much grace.
"It seems to me, Dorcas," said Griselda dreamily, when, a few minutes later, she was standing by the window while the old servant brushed out her thick, wavy hair, "it seems to me, Dorcas, that it's all 'obeying orders' together. There's the sun now, just getting up, and the moon just going to bed they are always obeying, aren't they?
Oh no, I don't think you need guessing takes such a time, and I want to tell you. Just fancy, Dorcas, I've been playing with a little boy in the wood." "Playing with a little boy, Miss Griselda!" exclaimed Dorcas, aghast. "Yes, and he's coming again to-morrow, and the day after, and every day, I dare say," said Griselda. "He is such a nice little boy." "But, missie," began Dorcas. "Well?
Then Griselda seemed to awaken from a dream. "My child?" she asked, excitedly. "He is gone," replied old Charlotte, the nurse. Griselda flew to the chamber where she had left him. There stood the little cradle where he had lain, but the cradle was empty. "Who has taken him away?" cried Griselda, sinking upon her knees and stretching her hands in agony to heaven.

After some communications of mere ordinary importance with reference to the London world in general and the Lufton-Grantly world in particular, Mrs.

"Miss Grizzel said I was to wake you at your usual time this morning, missie," she said. "I hope you don't feel too tired to get up." "Tired! I should think not," replied Griselda. "I was awake this morning ages before you, I can tell you, my dear Dorcas. Come here for a minute, Dorcas, please," she went on. "There now, sniff my handkerchief. What do you think of that?"
"Why shouldn't you?" "You see I wasn't sure if you would like it," returned Griselda, "for of course you're not like a person, and and I've been told all sorts of queer things about what fairies like and don't like." "Who said I was a fairy?" inquired the cuckoo. "Dorcas did, and, of course, my own common sense did too," replied Griselda. "You must be a fairy you couldn't be anything else."
