"MY DEAR KIDDIES, Miss Sandal's married sister has just come home from Australia, and she feels very tired. No wonder, you will say, after such a long journey. So she is going to Lymchurch to rest.
At least Oswald felt this, and Dicky told me afterwards he felt Dora wasn't such a bad sort after all. "It's on Tuesday week," said Father. "I see the prospect pleases. Number three is that your cousin Archibald has come here to stay a week or two. His little sister has taken it into her head to have whooping-cough. And he's downstairs now, talking to your uncle."
They travelled fast and, in five days after leaving Alnwick, arrived at Ludlow. "Welcome back again, Master Oswald!" Sir Edmund said, when he arrived. "I thought that maybe Sir Henry Percy would send you hither.
She had dined with him that day, but did not know that from the dinner Oswald Carey had come straight to Mr. Bugbee's house to keep an appointment with the wily "King's Banker," who wished to know how the Beauty had spent the day, and whom she had seen.

She could not exactly say that there was anything wrong in all this, but she highly disapproved of it.

Daisy Oswald was a very nice little girl, and there was no harm done at present, but it must not continue.
I like horses and stable-yards, and the smell of hay and straw, and talking to ostlers and people like that.

"I called you about that new commercial. It seems a little drastic. Are you planning to use it again tonight?" "Use it? We're taking full credit, in a witchery sort of way!" Oswald laughed.
