"Not for a good horse, Miss, though 'tis beyond St. Aubin's. I'm thinking you must have marked the place, a big old stone house with many a laurel tree about it and open to the cliffs beyond." "Oh, we know it," said Fran eagerly. "There are iron gates with a coat of arms and the grounds are lovely." "That's Laurel Manor, Miss," assented Mrs. Trott. The girls looked at each other in delight.
Aubin's Bay. He was not beyond fourteen years of age, though he looked more, so tall and straight and self-possessed was he. His tears having ceased soon, he began to think of what he was to do in the future. He would never go back to his father's house, or be dependent on him for aught. Many plans came to his mind.
Aubin's, ever so much nicer than here," Fran began breathlessly, her brown eyes sparkling. "And such a funny little train running along the esplanade!" "You couldn't believe there was such a beach," put in Roger. "Why, the tide goes out forever, clear to the horizon! Fellows were playing football down there, two games. How much does this tide rise, Win?"

Only slow progress was possible and when he again reached the iron gates of the Manor, he was really too tired to go on.
