'Do you suppose that the English traveller, Mr. Shenstone, will come to Chickaree this Summer for the purpose of inspecting the Morton manufactories? 'Let us 'ope not, sir. Mr. Morton will, for his home is just there. He told me so.
'Chickaree is in a very exposed situation, Miss Hazel! Mr. Falkirk remarked, with something a little like a sigh. While, as if to give effect to his words, two well-mounted horsemen at that moment went up the hill, exchanging greetings with the occupants of a landau that was just then making the descent. Wych Hazel looked and laughed. 'It is very comical! she said. But her guardian was silent.
And while nothing could have bought off her daring speech and behaviour, she yet knew it was a pretty thing to have the deference which always approached the young lady of Chickaree. 'I must get that out of her, she said to herself. 'She's bound to give it up. Wait till I get her fairly into the German! And so far she succeeded.
Some favoured young ladies even stayed over night sometimes, and then they all went driving together. Mr. Falkirk frowned, and Mrs. Bywank smiled; and cards accumulated to a fearful extent in the hall basket at Chickaree. Rollo among others had been discomfited, by finding the young lady invisible, or, what was the same thing for his purpose, visible to too many at once.

'My escorts never even so much as think of running away from me. At that point Primrose's gravity gave way, and she burst into a laugh. Mrs. Coles changed the subject.
