I told Colvin this morning that I thought I ought to draw a salary of about four thousand a year, besides our living expenses, and though he looked at me pretty sharp over his spectacles he said nothing. Arthur is worth half a million, if he is worth a cent.
John Russell Colvin, the Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Provinces, who died in the Fort during the disturbances of 1857. The Inner Mîna Bazar. A narrow staircase gave access to the balcony from the courtyard. We may well believe that a considerable part of the ladies' time was spent in this quarter of the palace.
In The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson Sir Sidney Colvin says: "Of her new family Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, brought thus strangely and from afar into their midst, made an immediate conquest. To her husband's especial happiness, there sprang up between her and his father the closest possible affection and confidence.
My lady would have had more invited, but Mrs. Colvin begged off; and so you and the young ladies are much favoured." And then, giving his horse a fillip, away they went, bowling along over the park amid high fern brakes, lofty trees, and many deer. "I see something white through the trees," said Henry; "look, look, all along under the branches see, Lucy see, Emily!"
"Then Henry shall be Edwy, and I will be the echo: and it is me you shall try to catch," replied Lucy; "and you shall have to run for it.

See ante, page 96. It now hangs in the Drawing-room at Abbotsford.

Colvin and Miss Darwell; and when they heard the names announced, they both rose and came to meet their visitors. They both smiled so sweetly, and spoke so pleasantly, that they took all fear at once from the children. Mrs. Colvin herself took off the bonnets and tippets, and laid them aside; and Miss Darwell said, "I am glad you came so soon; I told Everard to make haste."
She had overheard Frank's father and mother wondering, and fretting as they wondered, why they had not received any word from him. General Armour had even called him a scoundrel, which sent Frank's mother into tears. Then Lali had questioned Mackenzie and Colvin, for she had increasing shrewdness, and she began to feel her actual position.
