It had belonged, if Li Ho's information were correct, to Desire's mother a diary, probably. "Deceased lady write as per day." Spence hesitated. It was Desire's property. He felt a delicacy in examining it.
She is in there now, making Aunt Désiré's room look like it did when she was a girl." "Oh, isn't it lovely!" exclaimed Joyce. "It is better than all the fairy tales that I have ever read or heard, almost too good to be true!" Just then Cousin Kate called her, and she ran across the hall.
Out of the two sister's families, the Ripwinkleys and the Ledwiths, he had chosen these two girls, children almost, whom he declared his "next of kin, in a sense that the Lord and they would know;" and to them he left, in not quite equal shares, the bulk of his large property; the income of each portion to be severally theirs, Desire's without restriction, Hazel's under her mother's guardianship, until each should come to the age of twenty-five years.
