When she leaves her house in such a state, and no one but that poor girl to see to anything, and comes home all over mud, raving about fairy- land, and gold trees and blue ground; when she has just got into a bog in Belforest coppice -littering the whole place, too, with common wild flowers. If it had been Essie and Ellie, I should just have put them in the corner for making such a mess!"
All I have to say is, that if Belforest is to be nothing but a people's park for all the ragamuffins in Kenminster, there will soon not be a head of game in the place, and I shall be obliged to shoot elsewhere!" Poor Caroline!
It was thus that Caroline, with Babie and Armine, was descending a hill on the other side of Belforest Park, fully employed in picking the way through the mud from stone to stone, when a cry of dismay came to them from a distance, and whilst they were still struggling towards a gate, which broke the line of the high hedge, the two Johns came back at speed, crying- "Mother, Mother Carey! come quick, here's Allen had a spill- came down on his shoulder -his stilt went into a hole, and he went right over; they think he must have broken something, he howls so when they touch him."
"You would see her the brightest and bravest of all. Neither she nor Babie would mind the loss of fortune a bit if it were not, as Babie says, for 'other things. But those other things are wearing her to a mere shadow. No, not a shadow- that is dark -but a mere sparkle! But to escape from Belforest will cure a great deal." So Jock went away with the load on his heart somewhat lightened.
His mother and Babie had existed most of this time upon their Belforest wardrobe; indeed, the former, always wearing black, was still fairly provided; but Babie, who had not in those days been out, was less extensively or permanently provided; and Allen objected to the style in which she appeared in the enamelled carriage, "like a nursery governess out for an airing."
Robert Brownlow saw no impropriety, since Barbara went to Belforest for a fortnight, returning to Mrs. Evelyn on the afternoon of the wedding-day itself to assist in her move to the Dower House.
I thought I'd get the feather-brush to sweep it up with, and the other end of it has been and gone through this stupid lamp." "Things are not unapt to be and go through, where you are concerned, Mr. Jock, I suspect," said Mr. Ogilvie. "Suppose you were to come with me, and your brothers too, and be introduced to the swans on the lake at Belforest."
His hair and upper lip were dark, and his eyes keen with a sense of ready power and strong will. "Good morning, Bobus; I didn't see you all day yesterday," said his mother. "No, I couldn't find you before you went out on Saturday night, to tell you I was going to run down to Belforest with Bauerson. I wanted to enlighten his mind as to wild hyacinths.
The matter had become irrevocable and beyond discussion, as he intended, before his return to Belforest, which he only notified by the post of the morning before he walked into luncheon.
Do you think you could make the notion acceptable to her?" he said, colouring like a lad, and stuttering in his eagerness. "It would be a huge relief," exclaimed Jock. "Thank you, Mr. Ogilvie. Belforest has come to be like a prison to her, and it will be everything to have Armine in a warm place among reasonable people." "Is Kenminster more unreasonable than formerly?"
