With an Introduction by Sir JOHN HUTTON, late Chairman of the London County Council.
They were proper, neat-looking little girls, and, notwithstanding their inward excitement, they ate their breakfast tidily, and took good care not to express any emotion before Miss Ramsay or their good-natured father. "Yes," said Mr. Dolman, looking at them, and pushing his spectacles up on his forehead, "yes, that is the news. Your mother returns to-night, and the four Delaneys with her.
Dolman, with a laugh, "that you will be more likely to find the children than the clever detectives who are on their track?" "We can go to London and take a detective with us. Iris will at once feel happier if she is doing something. The fact is this: I am certain the inaction is killing her." "It is an extraordinary plan," said Mrs.
What is the fare from Beaminster to Delaney Manor?" The grave-looking footman and the somewhat surly driver of the cab exchanged a quick glance. Immediately afterwards the footman named eight shillings in a voice of authority. "Preposterous!" said Mrs. Dolman, "but I suppose I must pay it, or, rather, you can pay it for me; I'll settle with you afterwards."
"As it is a holiday, Miss Ramsay, the children are allowed to tender their thanks to me in the English tongue," said Mrs. Dolman. Miss Ramsay bowed and slightly colored. "Is you going with us?" asked Diana, fixing her dark eyes full upon the governess' face. "Yes, Diana; your aunt wishes it." "We don't want no g'own-ups." "Hush, Diana! you must not begin to be rude again," said Mrs. Dolman.
I expect, too, you are one of my little nieces. Come here at once and say, 'How do you do?" "Are you the aunt?" asked Diana solemnly. "The aunt!" replied Mrs. Dolman. "I am your aunt, my dear. What is your name?" "Diana. Please, aunt, don't clutch hold of my hand; I want to find Iris." "Of all the ridiculous names," muttered Mrs. Dolman under her breath.
You may think, then, how I carried myself in my five-and-twentieth year I, Etienne Gerard, the picked horseman and surest blade in the ten regiments of hussars. Blue was our colour in the Tenth a sky-blue dolman and pelisse with a scarlet front and it was said of us in the army that we could set a whole population running, the women towards us, and the men away.
She requires mind rest, and nothing else will make her well." Mrs. Dolman left Dr. Kent's house, feeling very uncomfortable. She took Iris home, was wonderfully gentle to her during the walk, and sent her up to the schoolroom with a message to Miss Ramsay to say that she was not to do any more lessons that morning.
She was never exactly cross, but she was very determined. She had strict ideas, and made everyone in the parish not only respect her and look up to her, but live up to her rule of life. She was, as a matter of fact, thought a great deal more of by the parishioners than her husband, the Reverend William Dolman, and the real Rector of Super-Ashton. Mr.
His uniform was entirely different from the regulation he wore a blue forage cap with short, heavy visor of unpolished leather shadowing the bridge of his nose; his dark blue jacket was shell-cut; over it he wore a slashed dolman trimmed at throat, wrists and edges with fur; his breeches were buff; his boots finished at the top with a yellow cord forming a heart-shaped knot in front; at his heels trailed the most dainty and rakish of sabres, light, graceful, curved almost like a scimiter.
