Presently Lord Dawne came in, and raised his eyebrows inquiringly when he saw Angelica, who seemed to be asleep. "Overwrought," Dr. Galbraith replied to the silent inquiry. "There was a fracas at Hamilton House just now," her uncle observed. "But how is all this going to end?" "Well, of course; but you had better leave her to me." Lord Dawne quietly withdrew.
"Angelica!" Lady Fulda exclaimed as they drew up at the door, "I've left the carriage in Morningquest!" "Yes, I know," said Angelica. "My dear child, why didn't you remind me?" Angelica shrugged her shoulders. "Let them alone and they'll come home," recurred to her, and then: "I must be more gracious. Aunt Fulda" aloud "who are here?" "Your Uncle Dawne " "And Co., I suppose!"
Orton Beg is a holy woman because she is a humble follower of Christ, but he rather shakes his head about mamma. Uncle Dawne, however, and Dr. Galbraith both maintain that mamma is admirable, because she doesn't trouble her head about churches and creeds any longer.

"I would give I would give anything that anybody could name," Dr.
Lord Dawne, however, remained somewhat uncertain about the wisdom of this recommendation, but as Dr. Galbraith had always managed his father's foibles and other difficult matters at the castle with admirable tact and delicacy he gave in. The twins themselves soon perceived that there was something in the air.

Lord Dawne came in next, with Dr. Galbraith and Mr. Kilroy of Ilverthorpe, and these were followed by Father Ricardo and Mr. Ellis, after whom came Ideala herself, alone.
