She would have a château and money, and a de before her name. Best of all she would have peace and companionship after her lonely struggles. On the whole we were very much pleased. Madame de Vigny and her gentle niece were entirely delighted. Noyon was vociferous in its approval and congratulations.
"No; my niece has been too much separated from her own relations," said Lady Barbara, putting this as an excuse for the "Oh dears." "I hope Mr. Wardour is quite well," said Lord de la Poer, turning again to Kate. "Oh yes, quite, thank you;" and then with brightening eyes, she ventured on "Do you know him?" "I saw him two or three times," he answered with increased kindness of manner.
James laughed, crossed the room swiftly, kissed her, then went into the office to greet Doctor Gordon. Doctor Gordon stood by the office fire taking off his overcoat. He looked gloomier than usual. "Who is in there?" he asked, pointing to the living-room wall. "Your niece," answered James. He felt himself color, but the other man did not notice it. "Mrs. Ewing has gone to bed?"
The Lady Alexandrina could not but think that the doctor's niece uttered her congratulations very much as though she were speaking to an equal; very much as though she had a father and mother of her own. "You will have delicious weather," continued Mary. "September, and the beginning of October, is the nicest time of the year.
As Booth assured his wife that he was very well, but found no inclination to sleep, she likewise bid adieu to her slumbers, and attempted to entertain him with her conversation. Upon which his lordship occurred as the first topic; and she repeated to him all the stories which she had heard from Mrs. Ellison, of the peer's goodness to his sister and his nephew and niece.

To think that you are a niece, so to speak, of the first nun in California, who had that romantic love affair with that Russian I never could pronounce his name. That's not what interests me most, though. It's you. To think what you've done! Those chickens! My man in the market has orders to send me Old Inn chickens and eggs, on penalty of losing my custom.
In this way the aunt and niece became very confidential, and Mrs Greenow whispered into Kate's ears her belief that Captain Bellfield might possibly make his way across the country to Westmoreland. "There would be no harm in offering him a bed, would there?" Mrs Greenow asked. "You see the inn at Shap is a long way off for morning calls."
The minister's niece, Abigail Williams one of the "afflicted" had looked upon the black mare with longing eyes; and if she had made the experiment, it probably would have been successful.
