Froggatt would fain have ignored the strife altogether, but the original note of defiance having been sounded by his trumpet, this was not possible, and the border line between justice and partisanship was not easy to keep. Whether the young editor did keep it was a question. To Mr. Smith he seemed a tame, lukewarm supporter; to Mr.
Froggatt, Lance gave it, exactly enough, but with so much of the comic side that every one was in fits of merriment, all of which, in his present mood, the younger boy imagined to be aimed at him.
'No, no, no, interrupted Geraldine, 'it was old Mr. Froggatt. He asked Felix to look over the papers he had to print for the boys' work at the Grammar School, because it is all Latin and Greek, and Charles Froggatt is so careless and inaccurate, that he can't be trusted.
Accordingly, when he arrived, there was Ferdinand Travis driving a magnificent horse, the whole turn out very far from looking like a connection of Froggatt and Underwood. He had certainly developed into a splendidly handsome fellow, though still lithe and slight rather than robust, and his dignified bearing giving the idea of greater height than his inches testified to.
Froggatt rivalled his guardian in his desire that it should not be too short. The first call was by appointment on the doctor.
He had little time himself, but if he could be spared to walk up to the station Mr. Froggatt bustled out with great alacrity, and taking the charge of the customer on himself, announced, for the benefit of all who might be within earshot, 'Mr. Underwood, his Lordship wishes to speak with you.

They must stay to luncheon; and while Mr. Froggatt went off to answer his note, they were made much of over the fire, in the way that had of late become so abhorrent to Bernard, with difficulty avoiding a pre-luncheon or nooning of cake and wine within an hour of the meal of the day. 'And how is Mr. Underwood? asked Mrs.
I was afraid of spick-and-span, sap-green aestheticism, but those curtains have done their own fading in pleasing shades, that good old sofa can be lain upon, and there's a real comfortable crack on that frame; while as to the chiffonier, is not it the marrow of the one Mrs. Froggatt left us, where Wilmet kept all the things in want of mending?"
'He was looking so thin, and had such a cough, I was quite concerned when he walked out here on Good Friday afternoon, continued Mrs. Froggatt. 'I hope he is taking care. 'Wilmet is always at him about it, said Lance. 'That is right. And I hope he minds to keep the office-door shut. It is such a draughty place! Does he wear flannel, do you know, my dear? 'I think so, said Robina.
Froggatt, said Felix; and no one is more anxious for our real benefit, if this were possible. 'But you see it won't do, reiterated Wilmet. 'Perhaps not, he answered, with more of a sigh than his sisters expected.
