Barmby had cast on him, and make Nataly see the smallness of the grant: both of them were unwilling to lose Barmby; there was not the slightest fear about Fredi, he said; and why should not poor Barmby have his chance with the others in the race! and his Nataly knew that he hated to speak unkindly: he could cry the negative like a crack of thunder in the City.
Very haltingly, the ladies were guilty of a suggestion to Victor. 'Oh! Fredi? said he; 'admires her, no doubt; and so do I, so we all do; she's one of the nice girls; but as to Cupid's darts, she belongs to the cucumber family, and he shoots without fireing. We shall do the mischief if we put an interdict.
'At any rate, Mr. Durance hurts no one. You will, in your letter, appoint the day of the interview? 'Hurts himself! Yes, dearest; appoint for ten days homeward eleventh day from to-day. And you to Fredi: a bit of description as you can, my Nataly! Happy to be a dolomite, to be painted by Nataly's pen.
Then, was that day of the announcement of Lakelands to Nataly, to be accounted a gloomy day? He would not have it so. She was happily occupied with her purchases of furniture, Fredi with her singing lessons, and he with his business; a grasp of many ribands, reining-in or letting loose; always enjoyable in the act.
'And our poor darling has not seen a mountain this year! Victor exclaimed, to have mentionable grounds for pitying his girl. 'I promised Fredi she should never count a year without Highlands or Alps. You remember, mama? down in the West Highlands. Fancy the dear bit of bundle, Dartrey! we had laid her in her bed; she was about seven or eight; and there she lay wide awake.
Incidentally, he named the sum his Fredi would convey to her husband; with, as was calculable, the further amount his only child would inherit. A curious effect was produced on them. Though they were not imaginatively mercenary, as the creatures tainted with wealth commonly are, they talked of the sum over and over in the solitude of their chamber.

I was down in the country early this morning, looking over the house, with Taplow, my architect; and he speaks fairly well of the contractors. Yes, down at Lakelands; and saw my first lemon butterfly in a dell of sunshine, out of the wind, and had half a mind to catch it for Fredi, and should have caught it myself, if I had! The truth is, we three are country born and bred; we pine in London.
An effort to imagine a reproof, showed him her spirit through her eyes: in her deeds too: she had already done work on the road: Colney Durance, Dartrey Fenellan, anything but sentimentalists either of them, strongly backing her, upholding her. Victor could no longer so naturally name her Fredi. He spoke it hastily, under plea of some humorous tenderness, when he ventured.
The match for him is Fredi. She threatens to be just as devoted, just as simple, as he. I positively doubt whether any of us could stop her, if she had set herself to do a thing she thought right. 'I should not like to think our trying it possible, said Dartrey. 'All very well, but it's a rock ahead. We shall have to alter our course, my friend.
