Felix Underwood was indeed very young, but he had already proved his power of usefulness, and a very few years would make him capable of being a right hand to the old man, and he might in time make a position for himself. Mr. Froggatt would otherwise ere long be forced by his own infirmity, to dispose of the business at a disadvantage, and this would, he confessed, go to his heart. Mr.
She was but eleven years old, so it was no worse than the taste of childish underhand coquetry and giggling; there was no fear of its continuance after Felix's return, and, indeed, good old Mr Froggatt had kept guard by coming in two hours earlier ever since the discovery; but the propensity dismayed Wilmet more than all that had yet happened, and on this head she thought it right to reprove Angela seriously.
Then the visitor had himself solved the situation by stalking out of the house from which the squire was proposing to flog him, mounting his horse, and with a last compliment or two had ridden away. And here he was at Froggatt on his return journey, having eaten there that dinner which no longer would be spread for him at Matstead.
"Excellent," cried his sister; "Anna goes of course, and I should like to take Francie. It would be such an education for her." "Well, why not?" "And what is to become of Adrian?" "Well, we should not have been here more than six months of course." "I could take him," said Lance, "unless Alda holds poor old Froggatt & Underwood beneath his dignity."
There was holiday at both schools, and Felix had been spared to take his place in the choir, but Mr. Froggatt could not do without him afterwards, as the presence of so many of the country clergy in the town was sure to fill the reading-room and shop; and he was obliged to hurry off as soon as he came out of church.
'And I never was so glad of anything in my life, said Geraldine eagerly. 'I am longing to go over the house, and know what to do about furniture, continued Wilmet. 'There! now W. W. is herself again! said Felix. 'Mrs. Froggatt came and called on me, said Geraldine. 'She talked of leaving us the larger things that will not go into the cottage.
You would not like to desert poor Pur, added Cherry. 'I could do that better in town in some ways. 'Mr. Underwood would think that as bad as Edgar's drawing, said Wilmet.

Froggatt had explained to his father long ago that Felix's work would not be that of a clerk in a great publishing house, but veritably that belonging to the country bookseller and printer, and that he must go through all the details, so as to be thoroughly conversant with them. The morning's work was at the printing-house, the afternoon's at the shop.
"Not a bit altered," said Bernard, looking at the desks and shelves of ledgers, with the photographs over the mantelpiece Felix, Mr. Froggatt, the old foreman, and a print of Garofalo's Vision of St. Augustine, hung up long ago by Felix, as Lance explained, as a token of the faith to which all human science and learning should be subordinated. "A declaration of the Pursuivant," said Angela.
'Master Lancelot, Miss Robina, this is an unlooked- for pleasure, to be sure! My dear Miss Robina! as the girl gave her hearty embrace.
