As she kept the keys of all the other spare bed-chambers a precaution quite needless with the one we speak of, which contained only a bed, two chairs and a table, and was, moreover, by its ghostly visiters, considered as sufficiently secured against depredations no excuse nor objection could be made.
One morning at daybreak, I climbed as usual to my signal-post, and there, about three miles to windward of the island, a ship was standing under easy sail to the westward. The ship was hove to, and a boat lowered. I rushed down to apprise Miss Neville of the joyful event, and we both hurried to the beach, to receive our welcome visiters.
"Oh mamma! " said Daisy. But she stopped short; and Mrs. Randolph did not attend to her. Mr. Randolph looked round to see Juanita's answer. "My lady shall put here who she will please," the woman said, standing before her visiters with the most unruffled face and demeanour. "And you will leave me the house at once?" "No, my lady. My lady shall have the house. Juanita will not be in the way."
