"They are very tall," said Clara, hesitatingly, "and they make it nice and shady in summer; and some of the branches bend over in such a lovely way! Papa calls one of them 'the plume." "And now Malcolm?" "The trunk or big 'stem, as Edie would call it is very thick, and the branches begin low down, near the ground."
'I think, dear Ronald, she said, taking his hand in hers, 'you did quite right quite as Ernest himself would have done under the circumstances. 'Where's Ernest? asked Ronald, half smiling at that naive wifely standard of right conduct. 'Gone with Mr. Berkeley to the trial, Edie answered. 'The trial! What trial? 'Oh, don't you know? Herr Max's.
It was not in Dr McTougall's nursery alone that the game of Lost and Found was played. In a little schoolroom, not far distant from our abode, that game was played by Edie assisted by Robin Slidder and myself with considerable success.
An hour later Edith heard Hannibal's step downstairs, and she at once joined him. The old man had aged in a night, and his face had a more worn and hopeless look than had yet rested upon it. He trembled at the rustle of her dress, and called: "Miss Edie, am dat you?" "Yes, you foolish old fellow. I have seen your spook, and ordered it not to come here again unless I send you for it."

"I think," said Edie, as he tendered it back again, "the hale folk here have either gane daft, or they hae made a vow to rain my trade, as they say ower muckle water drowns the miller.
'What is it about, Ronald? Selah asked, with a perfect consciousness in her own mind of what the subject he wished to discourse about was likely to be.
