Trelyon unable to express the gladness and gratitude that filled her heart; for before her were certain London newspapers, and, behold! Harry Trelyon's name was recorded there in certain lists as having scored a sufficient number of marks in the examination to entitle him to a first commission.
Trelyon's compliments, and would you take the flowers out of the cotton-wool and give them to Miss Rosewarne?" "Oh, won't I?" said Mabyn, opening the basket at once, and carefully getting out a bouquet of camellias, snowdrops and sweet violets. "Just you wait a minute, Jakes, for I've got a Christmas-box for you."
He is angry that Mr. Trelyon should visit us so often. And and I am trying to explain. That is all, mother." "It is quite enough, Wenna; but I am not surprised. Of course, if foolish persons liked to misconstrue Mr. Trelyon's visits, they might make mischief. I see no harm in them myself.
Trelyon's gray horses: she guessed that the young master had come back, and that he had brought some strangers with him. She did not like to be stared at by strangers. She came along the path with her eyes fixed on the ground: she thought it impertinent of Harry Trelyon to wait to speak to her. "Oh, Mabyn," he cried, "you must let me drive you home. And let me introduce you to my grandmother.
"Yes, mother," said Mabyn, bursting into the room, "here I am; and Jennifer's down stairs with my box; and I am to stay with you here for another week or a fortnight; and Wenna's to go back at once, for the whole world is convulsed because of Mr. Trelyon's coming of age; and Mrs.

She would hear no confession. She knew enough.
"I am very glad to hear that," Wenna said in a low voice. Trelyon did come to the Hall for a few days, but he kept away from the village, and was seen by no one of the Rosewarnes. But on the Christmas morning, Mabyn Rosewarne, being early about, was told that Mrs. Trelyon's groom wished to see her, and, going down, she found the man, with a basket before him.

Now, young Trelyon's representations and pleadings were far less cogent, but how strongly her heart went with him!

"I tell you there's no one in the world she loves like you I can see it every time she comes down for you and she believes, and I believe too, that you have changed Mr. Trelyon's way of talking and his manner of treating people in such a fashion as no one would have considered possible. Do you think she hasn't eyes?
Well, he's very, very sorry oh, you don't know how sorry he is, Wenna but it's quite true. He thought he'd please you by getting the ring, and that you would make a joke of it when you found it out; and then he was afraid to speak of it afterward." Wenna had quietly slipped the ring off her finger. She betrayed no emotion at the mention of Mr. Trelyon's name.
