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."
Lucy and Emily got as red as scarlet when Henry said these words; but Mrs. Colvin whispered: "Let him alone, he is very young, and he will get wiser as he gets older." "I shall be obliged to you to remind me of it, Henry," said Miss Darwell; "and I will speak the moment I see Mrs. Fairchild."
