Miss Milford could not fail to create a profound impression when her musical education should be completed, and she should appear before the public. But as the year drew to its close, Sir Oswald Eversleigh talked less and less of that public career for which he had destined his protegee. He no longer reminded her that on her own industry depended her future fortune.
"And who is Sybil?" asked Lady Maud. "That is one of our family names. We all thought her quite beautiful." "She is a child of the house," said Mrs Trafford, "or rather was, for I am sorry to say she has long quitted us." "Is she a nun?" asked Lord Milford, "for her vestments had a conventual air."
"We have only one more name on our list to-day, and it is at hand. Letter K, No.1, Albany. Another member of the aristocracy, the Honourable Charles Egremont." "Well, I prefer them, as far as I can judge, to Wriggle, and Rip, and Thorough Base," said the tall delegate laughing. "I dare say we should have found Lord Milford a very jolly fellow, if he had only been up."
The ships about to sail for Curacao were stopped; agents were sent to purchase provisions at New Haven; and as the enemy was expected to approach through Long Island Sound, spies were sent to obtain intelligence at West Chester and Milford.
"I will try to be, sir." On Monday morning Carl left Milford, reached New York in two hours and a half and, in accordance with the directions of Mr. Jennings, engaged passage and a stateroom on one of the palatial night lines of Hudson River steamers to Albany. The boat was well filled with passengers, and a few persons were unable to procure staterooms.
"Whoever he was," Westy said, "it looks as if he got a leave of absence to go to the girl's house for dinner. Going this way would be a shortcut to Woodcliff. Maybe he was going to take the train up from New Milford." "I guess he was going to mail the letter to his mother in New Milford, hey?" Hunt Ward of the Elks suggested. "Yes, but why didn't he?" Doc Carson asked.
The map only shows two roads for the four corps to march upon, but, no doubt, by the use of plantation roads, and pressing in guides, others can be found, to give one for each corps. The troops will follow their respective reconnoitring parties. The trains will be moved at the same time to Milford Station. Headquarters will follow the 9th corps. U. S. GRANT, Lieut.-General.
"If I see her again," said Milford, "I will endeavor, by all means, to discover her place of residence." "Do, if you would oblige me. It is my purpose not to lose sight of her at our next meeting, be it where it may. Our present conversation has awakened a deeper interest, and stimulated a more active curiosity. I am no blind believer in chance, Milford.
It is not surprising that the wreck chart should show a number of black dots off its harbour. A fresh breeze from the south-east soon brought us in sight of Saint Ann's lights, forming the south-west entrance of Milford Haven; and guided by them we stood on towards the mouth of that magnificent estuary, which we entered by the first dawn of day.
You will some day." "Ain't he an awful nice man?" said Jimmy, when Blair Milford had gone. "But what did he mean by all that talk?" "I don't know exactly," said Ted dreamily. "That is, I seem to feel what he meant but I can't quite put it into words. But, oh, Jimmy, I'm so happy. I'm to have lessons I have always longed to have them." "I guess you're glad you didn't go to the picnic?" said Jimmy.
