But her portion of sunshine for that day was brief enough, for Madeline soon returned from her boat-ride, and Henry found an excuse for leaving the game and joining her where she sat on the ground between the knees of a gigantic oak sorting pond-lilies, which the girls were admiring. As he came up, she did not appear to notice him.
"I shall be here at seven," he returned grimly; "while you and he take your morning boat-ride, I shall row alone." She turned from him with a sigh, and he followed her dejectedly up the path toward the club-house. She had lost some of the fresh beauty which she had brought to the cove, and her step was no longer elastic; but this Willock did not notice.
Consequently, her daughter was now reluctantly turning her face homeward a dull outlook, brightened only by the prospect of a boat-ride down the bay with Edward and Rose. "And to think," said Edward to Helene, as the trio paced the long avenue together, "that I scarcely recognized you on the evening of my return!" "That is not surprising.

I think his grounds bordered on the river, and he used to walk down to the bank, step into his boat, and his son would row him to the city. At his house there he was often visited by Henry VIII, Holbein, and the great Dutch scholar, Erasmus. Just behind those trees is Cheyne Walk, where Thomas Carlyle's house still stands. There! now I'll leave you in peace to enjoy your boat-ride, and the music."
This famous boat-ride only had the effect to make Dotty Dimple more fearless than ever; but her next adventure on the water proved somewhat serious. There was to be a remarkable supper at grandma Parlin's, in honor of Colonel Augustus Allen, who was expected in the cars. There had been a grand excursion to welcome the soldiers, and the stage would probably be very late.
Sir Donald invited both the girls and Oswald to attend an opera that evening. Esther explained that they had agreed upon a boat-ride. "But perhaps Alice and Mr. Langdon would find the opera just as pleasant." To please Alice, the matter was finally settled by Esther accompanying her father to the opera and the others taking the ride.
