I fear it was very egotistical, as the talk of children generally is about herself and her aunt and her home and her friends all her friends seemed children like herself, though younger Clemmy the chief of them. Clemmy was the one who had taken a fancy to Kenelm.
Kenelm joined the children, amidst whom Lily seemed not the least childlike. Resisting all overtures from Clemmy to join their play, he seated himself on a sloping bank at a little distance, an idle looker-on. His eye followed Lily's nimble movements, his ear drank in the music of her joyous laugh. Could that be the same girl whom he had seen tending the flower-bed amid the gravestones? Mrs.
I dressed the arrowroot, and am I not Fairy? I have just got such a pretty note from Clemmy, Mr. Emlyn, asking me to come up this evening and see her new magic lantern. Will you tell her to expect me? And, mind, no scolding." "And all magic?" said Mr. Emlyn; "be it so." Lily and Kenelm had not hitherto exchanged a word. She had replied with a grave inclination of her head to his silent bow.
'You'll give the show away, you fool! 'No, I shan't, Clemmy, my boy, said Mr. Heeley judicially. 'They'll stand simply anything. I bet you what you like Onions Winter quotes that all over the place. And he handed the last sheet of the review to a messenger, and ran off to the editorial room to report that instructions had been executed.

"I was coming to you, my dear Mr. Chillingly, first to thank you for the very pretty present with which you have gladdened the heart of my little Clemmy, and next to ask you to come with me quietly to-day to meet Mr. , the celebrated antiquarian, who came to Moleswich this morning at my request to examine that old Gothic tomb in our churchyard.
Emlyn himself felt in the presence of a pretty wayward innocent child, the companion and friend of his Clemmy. Mrs. Braefield was more discerning; but she had a good deal of tact, and did not as yet scare Kenelm away from her house by letting him see how much she had discerned.
Chillingly," said she, somewhat abruptly. "How it must please you to give such pleasure! Dear little Clemmy!" This artless praise, and the perfect absence of envy or thought of self evinced by her joy that her friend's wish was gratified, though her own was not, enchanted Kenelm. "If it pleases to give pleasure," said he, "it is your turn to be pleased now; you can confer such pleasure upon me."
If I had read more of the past, had more subjects of interest in the dead whose history it tells, surely I should be less shut up, as it were, in my own small, selfish heart? It is only very lately I have thought of this, only very lately that I have felt sorrow and shame in the thought that I am so ignorant of what other girls know, even little Clemmy.
Kenelm lingered behind and selected very hastily a few trifles, to be sent to him that evening with some specimens of basket-work left to Will's tasteful discretion; then purchased the locket on which Clemmy had set her heart; but all the while his thoughts were fixed on the ring which Lily had tried on.
