'Well, said Winnie, 'after a while Mr. D'Arcy returned and told me that he was now ready to take me for a stroll across the meadows, saying, "The doctor told me that, at first, your walks must be short; so while you go to your room I will get Mrs. Titwing in for my usual consultation about our frugal meal." "My room," I said, "my room, and Mrs. Titwing; who's " "Ha!
D'Arcy laughed at my eccentricity in running after the boy to learn where he had got a tune. But I did not tell him why. After we had passed some way down Ratcliffe Highway, D'Arcy said, 'Here we are then, and pointed to a shop, or rather two shops, on the opposite side of the street.
The stately abbess received them in the refectory, and asked their pleasure. "Daughter," said the patriarch, "you have in your keeping a lady named Rosamund D'Arcy, with whom we desire to speak. Where is she?" "The novice Rosamund," answered the abbess, "prays by the holy altar in the chapel."
Carrington calmly. On his words the car was on them; and as it came to a dead stop Mr. D'Arcy Rosenheimer tumbled clumsily out of it. "I've got you, you liddle devil!" he bellowed triumphantly, but quite incorrectly; and he rushed at Wiggins who stepped discreetly behind his father. "What's the matter?" said Mr. Carrington.
It was none the less pleasant because it showed clearly that she was as guileless as a child. 'I knew at once that she was the person the housekeeper that Mr. D'Arcy had gone to seek at the other side of the house.

Wombats, kangaroos, and the like, formed a kind of happy family. My love of animals led me to linger in the garden. When I returned to the house I found D'Arcy in the green dining-room, where we talked, and he read aloud some verses to me.
I steered towards her, and now, the breeze freshening, we rapidly neared each other. She stood on, and passing under our stern, kept alongside of us. "Hillo, D'Arcy, my boy, how did you get there?" hailed my uncle, as he recognised me at the helm. "Fell in with her, sir. Pray send some fresh hands, for we are sinking; and some prog, for we are starving," I shouted, in return.
"My God!" he exclaimed "when will this work have an end? But, to tell you the truth, gentlemen, I apprehended it; and I fear that something still more fatal to the parties will yet be the consequence. Mr. D'Arcy, you must try what you can do with the Grimeses, and I will manage the Kellys."
She was accustomed to exercise courage in her behavior. From her earliest days a standard of manners had been expected of her beyond her age. It was a consequence of her growth. "You're quite a big girl now," was a nursery reproach addressed to her at least two years before the time, and she tried valiantly to live up to her inches. But when Amabel saw D'Arcy, she started and stopped short.
