Servants always take liberties after a time; and, besides, she looks upon Graeme as mistress rather than me. She quite treats me like a child," continued Fanny, her indignation increasing as she proceeded. "And, besides," she added, after there had been a moment's uncomfortable silence, "Nelly wishes to go."
"Miss Jones is to be a teacher, in the new seminary at Rixford. They are going to live there, and it cannot be very long before they go." "To her uncle?" "No, Celestia thinks her mother would not be happy there. They will live by themselves, with the children." "How sorry Celestia will be to go away," said Graeme, sadly. "She will not be persuaded to stay," said Mr Greenleaf.
"She was good and bonny, and our Menie, the dear lammie, has been growing very like her this while. She 'minds me on her now, with the long lashes lying over her cheeks. Miss Marian's cheeks aye reddened that way when she slept. Her hair wasna so dark as our Menie's, but it curled of itself, like hers." Mrs Nasmyth turned grave pitying eyes toward Graeme, as she ceased speaking.
One thing is good, I have silenced the eternal predications of that ass, Adam Woodcock, who has set up for being a preacher and a governor, over me, so soon as he has left the hawks' mew behind him." And with this comfortable reflection, joined to the happy indifference which youth hath for the events of the morrow, Roland Graeme fell fast asleep.

"If we had golden guineas to bestow on her, where we have copper coins only, we could never repay her love and care for us all; and it will be a matter of thankfulness to me to know that she is secure in a home of her own for the rest of her life."
But I can estimate them now at their proper value, and it can rest there." "It was Mr. Black's enthusiasm for Sark at that Whitefriars' dinner that put it into my head when when we were wondering where to go. I remember now," said Margaret. "It was Black's enthusiasm for Sark that put it into my head when I was wondering where to go," said Graeme. "There you are, you see," said Miss Penny.
"We will wait a few minutes longer. There is no haste," said Graeme, quietly. Graeme sat a long time looking out of the window before they came so long that Nelly came up-stairs again intending to expostulate still, but she did not; she went down again, quietly, muttering to herself as she went, "I'll no vex her.
Roland Graeme returned to the vestibule, and opened the door accordingly, into which the Lord Lindesay strode, with the air of a soldier who has fought his way into a conquered fortress; while Melville, deeply dejected, followed him more slowly.
"I thought the doctor ought to know, and you must not tell Graeme. She does not think that I know." "Know what?" asked Arthur. "That she is so sad, and that the time seems long. But I have watched her, and I know." "Well, I fear it is not a case for you, doctor," said Arthur, anxiously. But the doctor thought differently.
