She did not, of course, want to accept the funny gift, but she saw Arabella's cheek flush, as little Lina Danford laughed softly, and she did the kindest thing that she could have done. "Thank you," she said, gently, then to the others she added: "Arabella is eager to have us both feel fine when we reach Merrivale."
The day after the sleigh-ride, Lina Danford, one of the youngest pupils, came rushing down the stairway in great excitement. "My amber necklace has been stolen! Girls! Do you hear? My amber beads are gone! Some one has been in my room and stolen them! Somebody ought to catch the burglar!" Dorothy, standing near, put an arm around her, and tried to comfort her. "Don't say it is gone, Lina, dear!
Danford was forester to the Duke of Devonshire, and lived at Chatsworth. "There was naught in the letter save that he was a good servant and an honest man. That is all we can ask of any man." "But who is he?" again demanded Sir George. "Your worship may perhaps learn from Danford more than I can tell you," replied the forester, adroitly avoiding a lie.
I have alluded to the trout-fishing in the district. I went out frequently, and had generally very fair sport indeed. Mr Danford, in his paper in 'The Ibis, in speaking of fishing, says: "Perhaps the best stream in the country is the Sebes, which joins the Strell near Hatszeg.
Instead, he thumbed his Bible in search of passages that justified the use of force. One day, before the regiment sailed for France, when York's company was leaving the drill-field, Capt. Danford sent for him. Together they went over many passages of the Bible which both had found. "If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight." They were together several hours.
One of the youngest pupils stood, violin in hand, while, at the piano, Betty Chase was playing the prelude. Lina Danford handled the bow cleverly, and played her little solo with evident ease. Her audience was delighted, and gayly their hands clapped their approval. The two in the doorway stood quite still, and gave no evidence of pleasure.
Our nurses, Lockey Danford, Polly Bell, Mary Dunn, and Cornelia Nickeloy peace to their ashes were the only shadows on the gayety of these winter evenings; for their chief delight was to hurry us off to bed, that they might receive their beaux or make short calls in the neighborhood. My memory of them is mingled with no sentiment of gratitude or affection.
Sir George was pacing to and fro across the room, breaking forth at times in curses against Dorothy because of her relations with a servant. When Dawson and I entered the room, Sir George spoke angrily to Will: "Who is this fellow? You employed him. Who is he?" "He gave me his name as Thomas Thompson," returned Will, "and he brought me a favorable letter of recommendation from Danford."
I will see them before the school opens for the morning session." "There is another pupil that I must speak of, and that is the Mayo girl. It has been her habit to keep apart from the other girls. She seems to prefer to spend much of her leisure time not only indoors, but in her room. "Lina Danford, the little girl whose room is next hers told me that Ida Mayo had been crying ever since daybreak.
Partridges scarce, not preserved, and the hooded crows and birds of prey making life rather hard for them." Mr Danford further speaks of the chamois-eagle as "not rare in the higher mountains." The fisher-eagle "generally distributed." The king-eagle also "not rare." The carrion-vulture "common throughout the country," also the red-footed falcon.
