He was too frightened even to call out, as he nearly always did when he found himself in trouble. Nearly always his first thought was of his father or mother. But this time he hardly knew what to do. It had all happened so suddenly. He had not meant to get upside downside this way. All he wanted to do was to sit on the trapeze, as he had often sat in a swing, and sway to and fro.
"To think that now you are a grand officer you have come to see poor folks like us," she continued, dusting a chair, while Adam in his frank, hearty way held out his hand to welcome his guest. He would probably have done the same had the king come to his cottage. "To tell you the truth, I am on my way to Downside, and thought I would call here first to enquire the road," said Harry.
"I left Jane Anna asleep in the hay in the corner of the loft. I'll go out and get her for you, Helen. You wait here." So Helen sat down in a chair in the dining room while Sue ran out to the barn to look for her doll. Mart and Lucile began practicing the song again. Now all this while Bunny Brown was swinging by his legs, upside downside on the trapeze.
Headland could not help suspecting that he was sent to be kept out of Julia's way; and but for her sake and Harry's, he would at once have left Texford. He spent the day by first going to the village, and then calling at Downside, after which he took a long ride over the Downs to the south, whence he could see the cutter should she return.

He made no secret at home of his visits to Downside, observing that the Miss Pembertons had employed him to ornament a shell grotto for them, and as he hated to be idle, he was very glad to find employment suited to his taste, and at the same time to do anything to please the kind old ladies. Sir Ralph had been called to London on political business, and was likely to remain some time away.
The distance between Hurlston and Texford was upwards of two miles by the road, but the inhabitants of the village could enjoy a pleasanter and much shorter path across the fields. The dame arrived at Downside in good time to escort May.
Harry, after a satisfactory interview with his father, could no longer restrain his eagerness. He set off again for Downside. He had not to go far, however, before he met the carriage. Returning with it, he had the happiness of handing out his beloved Maiden May, and introducing her to her father and brother.
"You acted wisely," said Julia, "for it is impossible to say how our cousins may think it their duty to behave towards you in future." She then told Harry of their father's visit to Downside, of the result of which she herself was ignorant.
