At this Stella protested still more strongly; but it was really a way out of a difficulty, for Vava was very happy at school and with Mrs. Morrison, and she would spend the long summer holidays at Lomore, and in the autumn Stella would be at her town house, and Vava could be constantly with her.

'Well, the rent's three hundred pounds on a long lease, you may tell them, he informed her. 'Thank you, said Stella quietly, and turned away. 'Three hundred pounds for that dirty little house! Oh London is a horrid place, Stella! Let's go back to Lomore! cried Vava.

'I understand that you were bewildered; but you must try and remember that you are not at Lomore, and that you must not make friends without my leave, or else I shall feel that I cannot take care of you, and that it's not right to keep you with me, said Stella. 'Then I shall die in this dreadful place without you, declared Vava in tragic tones. 'Vava, something has happened. What is it?

Ryan; indeed you are a friend, and I will come to you for advice, she said. 'And, do you know, you remind me a little of nursie, our housekeeper at Lomore, only she is Scotch; but I can understand your way of speaking, and that's more than I can the people at school, Vava remarked, with such a tone of disgust that the other two laughed. But Stella looked relieved. 'So that's it, is it?

Now this thought had come into Stella's mind too; but she replied, 'I don't think so. He would probably have mentioned it, and been rather proud of the fact that some of his family owned Lomore. 'I don't believe he would mention it; he is too much of a gentleman, maintained Vava stoutly. 'Mr. James Jones? questioned Stella, lifting her eyebrows at this championship.

'I don't remember that she was particularly unbending at Lomore before the City had time to chill her, said Mrs. Montague Jones dryly. 'No, but adversity had done that, her husband reminded her; and he was as pleased as his wife at Stella's acceptance of their invitation. But this was nothing to Vava's delight. 'And you actually are going? I am so glad, and you are going to see Henry VIII. also!

The blood in his ears sounded like a mill-race. "Try bi' more," said Mr. Coombes. He turned and looked about him, and found his feet unsteady. He saw, and struggled towards, a little patch of purple a dozen yards away. "Jol' goo' stuff," said Mr. Coombes. "E lomore ye'." He pitched forward and fell on his face, his hands outstretched towards the cluster of pilei.

'Never mind; I will bring you again another day, said Stella, smiling; and Vava thought she had not seen her look so bright and happy since they had left Lomore. 'We might make it our next Saturday treat, agreed Vava. 'We had another plan for Saturday, replied Stella, smiling again in a half-ashamed manner. 'Another treat?

Montague Jones could not adopt Vava, but she insisted on considering her a relation, and Vava never felt lonely, even while Stella was away on her honeymoon. And when she returned, on her way up north, she fetched Vava and Mrs. Morrison, and took them to Lomore with her that they might be with her when she went to the home of her fathers, and see the welcome she received.

The elders stopped in their conversation, and looked at Eva and Vava, whose faces were flushed with excitement, and whose eyes were dancing as Stella had not seen Vava's dance since she left Lomore, not even on their motor drive.
