Then silently made herself busy with the luncheon; creamed Mr. Falkirk's chocolate; then suddenly exclaimed: 'Could you make nothing of my version, sir? 'Not much. Where were you going? 'I was coming home. 'From Dr. Maryland's? 'Not at all, sir.
Threading her way among the beautiful woods of Chickaree, wherever a bridle-path offered, and sure to be at home long before Mr. Falkirk's arrival to breakfast, so that he knew nothing whatever about the matter. Just why this course of action was in favour, perhaps the young lady herself could scarcely have told, had she tried; but she did not try.
'No, said Wych Hazel 'that Norwegian pirate took her for his own use, and I walked. 'Wouldn't let you ride her, eh? and a curious gleam came into Mr. Falkirk's eyes. "Wanted to try her first" and was "bound to be afraid, though I was not" and "couldn't answer it to you" and so forth and so forth. A man can generally find words enough.
There was nobody in the world that could have put the question to Wych Hazel as he put it, and afterwards she could recognize that. Mr. Falkirk's words would have been more anxious; Dr. Maryland's would have been more astonished; and any one of Miss Hazel's admirers would have made speeches of surprise and sympathy and offered service.
She looked round at him then one of her girlish, searching looks, resolving perhaps how far it was safe to be confidential. 'A good many things, Mr. Rollo, she answered, slowly. 'I do not believe you could understand. But I would rather have fourteen lectures from Mrs. Bywank than just to hear one of Mr. Falkirk's stiff "Miss Hazels."

'I am no sportsman, madam, said Mr. Falkirk with a smile; 'and my wisdom will probably be busy to-morrow in Miss Kennedy's plantations.
'No, indeed! I'll have Dingee for an outrider, and then we'll be a complete set of Brownies. You must order quick-footed horses for me, Mr. Falkirk I may be reduced to the fate of the Calmuck girls. A single dark flash was in Mr. Falkirk's glance; but he only said: 'Who is to have the first race, my dear? 'Mr. Falkirk, you should rather be anxious as to who will have the last.
Falkirk's ears were delighted with the ringing chorus: 'Wooed and married and a' 'Wooed and married and a'; 'Wasna she vera weel aff 'That was wooed, and married, and a'? Then a complete hush seemed to betoken sudden recollection on the singer's part; that was quite too private and confidential a matter to be trilled out at the top of one's voice.
