There came a day when Lady Atherton could no longer meet the demands made upon her; the estate near Hanton was to be sold, and her husband wished to purchase it. "A little economy for one year," he said to his wife, "and we shall do it easily. You will not mind being careful for one year, Marion?"
Now commenced another visit with dear Rose Atherton as her companion, and Sprite wondered why such great good fortune had been given her. Once she had been a dear little lass by the sea, with two loving parents, but no playmates. Now, she had Princess Polly, and Rose, beside ever so many little schoolmates, and she was being cared for by Mr. and Mrs.
'I believe you did say something of the kind, it's very good of you to remember. Have you forgotten something else which you said to me last night? 'You can hardly expect me to keep fresh in my memory all the follies of which my tongue is guilty. 'Thank you. That is quite enough. Good-day. She turned as if to go. 'Miss Grayling! 'Mr Atherton?

The position of a trader on the outskirts of civilization, in the vicinity of Aukpaque, the largest Indian village on the St. John, required tact and courage, but Mr. Atherton was equal to the emergency. In 1783, when the Loyalists arrived, he had at St. Anns "a good framed house and log barn, and about thirty acres of land cleared partly by the French."

Simultaneously all three of us were on our feet. I let down my window and Atherton let down his, he shouting out,

That while you suffered me to pour out my heart to you unchecked, you were aware, all the time, that there was a listener behind the screen?
Aunt Judith detested her rude ways, and she would not choose a guest who might spoil a pleasant evening by her bad behavior.
