"An outing like this is all well enough, but when our vacation is at an end I'll be glad enough to get back home."

"And I'll take a run over to see you as soon as the long vacation begins, just to teach the young ladies golfing. Mr. Roy taught all us boys, you know; and we'll take that very walk he used to take us, across the Links and along the sands to the Eden. Wasn't it the river Eden, Miss Williams?

She hated to see the two children at table alone, though Marcia said that was nonsense.

"Doctors certainly need rest as much, or more, than most other people." "Yes, they do, indeed!" said the captain; "they are, as a rule, very much overworked, I think."
