"Ah, here you are, Roger," exclaimed a fresh clear voice from behind the chairs. "I've been looking for you everywhere. We've seen everything Mr. Ellerton was most kind and I do so want to tell you my impressions." The new-comer was Lady Deane, a tall young woman, plainly dressed in a serviceable cloth walking-gown.
"I had no notion," I dared at last to remark, humbly enough, "that Miss Lady Ellerton cared so much for the people." "Really! One feels inclined sometimes to wish that she cared for anything beside them," said Lillian, half to her father and half to me. This gave a fresh shake to my estimate of that remarkable woman's character.
Then with the first gleam of the white pony in the distance, over would go the music stool, and the child leapt to the window, remaining fixed there, breathing quick and eagerly till the trees on the left had hidden from her the graceful erect figure of Mrs. Ellerton. Then her moment of Paradise was over; but the afterglow of it lasted for the day.
When in 1830 this auxiliary which had at first sought to keep all missionaries out of its executive in order to conciliate men like Sydney Smith's brother, the Advocate-General of Bengal refused to use the translations of Carey and Yates, and inclined to an earlier version of Ellerton, because of the translation or transliteration of the Greek words for "baptism," these two scholars acted thus, as described by the Bible Society's annalist they, "with a liberality which does them honour, permitted the use of their respective versions of the Bengali Scriptures, with such alterations as were deemed needful in the disputed word for 'baptism, they being considered in no way parties to such alterations."
A faint smile played round Sir Roger's lips. "You're the only one who's in a hurry." he remarked. "No, I'm not. Mr. Ellerton is in just as much of a hurry." "Then he bears disappointment better." "What in the world did papa and well, and Lady Deane, you know want to stop here for?" "You don't seem to understand how interesting Marseilles is. Let me read you a passage.
He laughed and clapped me on the shoulder. "Still the same old Simon. It does my heart good to hear you. May I have another whisky?" I took advantage of this break to change the conversation. He had told me nothing of his own affairs save that he was engaged to Maisie Ellerton. "Heavens!" cried he. "Isn't that enough?" "An engagement isn't an occupation." "Isn't it, by Jove?" He laughed boyishly.
The thing was too precious, too all-important, to take one tittle of it on trust. I could not bear the consciousness of one hollow spot the nether fires of doubt glaring through, even at one little crevice. I took my doubts to Lady Ellerton Eleanor, as I must now call her, for she never allowed herself to be addressed by her title and she referred me to her uncle

You must come with me. Mr. Ellerton can follow us. He's always drinking, isn't he? I dislike it so." Sir Roger, with a wink at an unresponsive plaster bust of M. le President, followed her to the door.
"What what do you think they said, Mr. Ellerton?" "How can I tell? Perhaps that the marriage was off!" "Oh!" escaped from Dora. "Perhaps that it was going on." "It's worse than ever. They may have asked for answers." "Probably." "And they won't have written here!" "Sure not to have." "And and I shan't know what to do. I I believe it was to say he had broken off the marriage."
Be encouraged, therefore, my dear son, to devote yourself entirely to it, and to pursue it as a matter of the very first importance even to your dying day. "Give my love to Mr. and Mrs. Creighton and to Mr. Ellerton, Mr. Grant, or any other who knows me about Malda, also to our native Brethren." "CALCUTTA, 29th September 1808.
