'Oh, I say, I can't tell you who it is, Lady Everard; really not. 'Only the first name? I don't want you to tell me; I'm discretion itself, I prefer not to know. The Christian name is not Margaretta, is it?
Sir Everard obtained, in the frequent society of his little nephew, something on which his hereditary pride might found the anticipated pleasure of a continuation of his lineage, and where his kind and gentle affections could at the same time fully exercise themselves.
He himself, with Sir Everard, continued on deck watching the progress of the vessel with an anxiety that became more intense at each succeeding hour.

"I told them I was here with you, and asked them to come over. They are coming to-morrow, dear. I think you will like them."
