She saw the sudden rush of joy to her son's face and she was a little lonely. She felt that she was no longer first with Terry. Sir Shawn was still out when they got back, after a brisk walk. The laggard young people made no appearance for tea, though they waited a while.

Our special joy was the father such a sentimental darling, and people declared he had murdered his wife." In his normal state Mr. Beebe would never have repeated such gossip, but he was trying to shelter Lucy in her little trouble. He repeated any rubbish that came into his head.

How quaintly she spoke his name, and gently, and timidly ay, and with a supreme courage. True to him through all those numb years of waiting, this was a little thing that they should face death together. A little thing, and yet the greatest joy that God can bestow upon a good woman.

As regarded Sir Alured, in spite of this poor widow's crape, he was very happy at this time, and his joy did in some degree communicate itself to the old barrister. Everett was taken round to every tenant and introduced as the heir. Mr. Wharton had already declared his purpose of abdicating any possible possession of the property.
