'Come out into the garden, Giles, she said, with a ladylike yawn; 'it is so hot indoors. I thought you said that you expected Mr. Cunliffe. 'Perhaps he will be here by and by, returned Mr. Hamilton; and then he looked up and saw me. 'Miss Garston! he ejaculated, as though he could scarcely believe his eyes, and Miss Darrell broke into an angry little laugh; but I took no notice of her.
Miss Garston, we have met before, but I think we hardly know each other, looking at me with some degree of interest. Sara's cousin was no longer indifferent to him. I answered him as civilly as I could, but I could see his attention wandered to his young fiancée, and he soon rode round to her side of the carriage. It was evident, as Lesbia said, that the colonel was honestly in love with Sara.
But, after all, Jill's last look was for me: as she leaned out of the carriage, waving her hand, she did not even glance at the young man who was standing silent and gloomy beside me. I felt rather sorry for the poor boy, as he turned away quite sadly. 'I must go down to the schools: good-bye, Miss Garston, he said hurriedly.
I think she wanted to send you a message, but she is in too great pain to speak. I heard her say, "Poor Phoebe," but I begged her not to make the effort; you see she is thinking of you still. 'My poor Susan! But she must not miss you; I am wicked and selfish to keep you like this. Go to her, Miss Garston! And I was thankful to be dismissed.

My first idea was to escape, and my fingers were already on the door-handle, when he turned abruptly and saw me. 'I beg your pardon, coming towards me and speaking in the deep peculiar voice I had already heard. 'I was hunting for the matches that Cunliffe always mislays. You are Miss Garston, are you not? I was told to expect you. And then he actually shook hands with me in an off-hand way.
"What a frightful pace;" said Katherine, after they had whirled out of the gates, yet feeling comforted by De Burgh's evident mastery of the ponies. "You are not frightened? Don't you think I can manage them?" "I am not comfortable, because I am not accustomed to horses and furious driving." "Oh, they will settle down presently. Where shall we go through Garston? It's a fine place.
'So you have seen his picture, Miss Garston, my dear: well, now, is it not a beautiful face? not sufficiently manly, as the colonel says; but then, poor fellow, he had not a strong character.
All the way up the hill she talked until we passed the church and the vicarage, until we were at the gate of the White Cottage, and then she stopped with an affected laugh. 'Dear me, I have actually walked the whole way; how tired I am! and no wonder, for there is eleven chiming from the church tower. For shame, to keep us all up so late, Miss Garston!
Marvel, draw up that chair to the fire, and give Miss Garston a table to herself, and put the muffins where she can reach them; there, now I think we look comfortable: young people always look nicer without their bonnets; it was a pity to hide your pretty smooth hair. Now tell me a little about yourself. I am sure Etta is wrong: you do not look in the least strong-minded.
