Irene, you and I will choose what supper we will take, after tea is over. And now, will you kindly pass me the plum-jam yes, and the butter too?" What a masterful young person Rosamund Cunliffe was, and how Irene began to lean upon her! She no longer troubled herself even to glance at Miss Frost, who in consequence began to get back her courage and to make a good tea.
Maberley that gave me this impression. Mrs. Maberley wanted to call on you, because she said you were Mr. Cunliffe's niece, and people ought to take notice of you. And Etta said, "Oh dear, yes; and it was a very kind thought on Mrs. Maberley's part, and Mr. Cunliffe would think it so. That was why Giles had invited you to Gladwyn.
Hamilton's disengaged hand was laid on his shoulder caressingly. 'Welcome home, my dear boy, he said; but his voice was not quite so clear as usual. 'I am very sorry, Giles, he faltered; but Mr. Hamilton would not let him speak. 'There is nothing to be sorry for, now, he said significantly. 'Have you shaken hands with Mr. Cunliffe, Eric?
Elizabeth Arne, burnt with a shell-ball during the siege;" Lieutenant Cunliffe; Mr. Ommaney the Judicial Commissioner; and others.

My father appends a note to the effect that, through the intervention of Sir Edward Cunliffe, one of the members for Liverpool, Durand was released from the Tower, and went to reside with Mr. P in Dale-street.

"There are plenty of men and plenty of other camels close by, and a great many clouds of smoke. I am not frightened then.
Whenever we want dear Carter to make us thoroughly happy, or to give us a great treat, we get her to tell us about this wild, this formidable little Irene. She could not do it at first, poor thing! for, you know but I can't speak of that to-day. Oh! here she is, coming down the path. Ah, Miss Carter," called Maud, "this is Rosamund" "Rosamund Cunliffe," said Rosamund.

Sometimes I think she takes a pleasure in my secret misery, that she was only acting a part when she pretended to sympathise with me. Oh, what a weak fool I have been, Ursula, to put myself in the power of such a woman!
Did I not think that I was a little too imprudent and unreserved in my manner to Mr. Cunliffe? She hated to make me uncomfortable, and of course I was so innocent that I meant no harm; but men were peculiar, especially a man like Mr. Cunliffe: she was afraid he might notice my want of self-control.
Rosamund Cunliffe walked with Phyllis Flower, Jane Denton with Agnes Sparkes, and Laura Everett with her special friend and factotum, Annie Millar.
