We found, however, a beautiful block of salt, which resembled white marble, of which Ernest formed a sort of altar, supported by four pillars, on which he placed a pretty vase of citron-wood, which he had turned himself, and in which he arranged some of the beautiful erica which had been the cause of his discovering the grotto.
"Oh, no, her name is really Jemima; but that was quite too dreadfully ugly, you know, and she is such a pretty girl." She chattered on while Erica unpacked and put on her white serge, then they went down to the drawing room where Erica was introduced to her host, a small elderly man, who looked as if the Indian sun had partially frizzled him.
"The very last words she said were these, 'Tell Erica that only love can keep from bitterness, that love is stronger than the world's unkindness. Then, after a minute's pause, she added, 'Be good to my little girl, promise to be good to her. After that, speech became impossible, but I do not think she suffered.
Erica observed that she had heard her master say that it was foolish to boast that Norway need not mind when Denmark went to war, because it would be carried on far out of sight and hearing.

A dark flush came over his face Erica saw that much, but afterward would not look at him, feeling that it was hardly fair. Presently he gave her the letter once more.
Erica felt as though she were meeting an old friend when she went into the drawing room, and found him standing on the hearth rug. "You have had my wife's note?" he asked, taking her hand. "Yes," she replied. "And you will come?" "If you will have me." "That's right; we had set our hearts on it. You are looking very tired. I hope Saturday did not upset you?" "No," said Erica.
Leslie Cunningham would have listened to the praises of the Black Country, if only for the sake of hearing her voice. "Well, as far as England goes, you are in the right place for scenery now; I know a few lovelier parts than this." "What are those lights on the lower terrace?" asked Erica, suddenly. "Glow worms.
