Lord Keith means you to have all my share." "Does he? There are more words than one to that question. And pray is he going to provide properly for his poor daughter in the West Indies?" "I hope to induce him to take her into favour." "Eh? and to make him give up to Colin Keith that Auchinvar estate that he ought to have had when Archie Keith died?"
"And," added Lord Keith, still without direct answer, "she is so handsomely provided for, that you see, Colin, I could afford to give you up the Auchinvar property, that should have been poor Archie's, and what with the farms and the moor, it would bring you in towards three hundred a year for your housekeeping." Colin restrained himself with difficulty, but made quiet answer.
"And I to have brought you," he answered, "but it is far better as it is. He is very cordial, and wants to give up the Auchinvar estate to me; indeed, he told me that he always meant me to have it as soon as I had washed my hands of you you wicked syren but I think you will agree with me that he had better leave it to his daughter Mary, who has nothing. We never reckoned on it."
"The personal guardianship is left to us first, then to Alick and Rachel, with L300 a year for the expenses. Then we have Auchinvar. The estate is charged with an equivalent settlement upon Mary, a better plan, which I durst not propose, but with so long a minority the estate will bear it.
