Sheraton cabinets holding specimens of rare old china; ivory miniatures of Grevilles, dead and gone, simpering in pink-and-white beauty in the velvet cases on the walls; water-colours signed by world- famed artists; wonderful old sconces holding altar-like lines of candles; everywhere the eye turned, something beautiful, rare and interesting, and through it all an unobtrusive good taste, which placed the most precious articles in quiet corners, and filled the foreground with a bower of flowers.
But it is certain that unless trouble be taken in the right way, it makes people worse instead of better Hal had got into a mood in which he was tired of fears and of waiting for tidings, and was glad to shake off the thought, and be carried along to something new, he and the Grevilles were rather fond of one another's company, in an idle sort of way.
You'll be sitting up pricking holes in a frill by the time the Captain comes back." "And Hal will be mincing along with his toes turned out like a dancing-master!" continued an affected voice. "No such thing!" cried Hal angrily: "I'm not a fellow to be ordered about!" The Grevilles laughed; and one of them said, "Well, then, why don't you show it?
She became quite distressed and anxious, but could not go far from the house herself, nor send Sam, in case the message should arrive. "Oh," said Sam, "no doubt he's after something with the Grevilles, and was afraid you would stop him in." She tried to believe this, but still felt far from satisfied all the afternoon, and was glad to see the boy come back in time for tea.
He said he had been with the Grevilles; he did not see why anybody need ask him questions; he should do what he pleased without being called to account. Nobody told him not to run away after dinner; he was not going to stay to be ordered about for nothing. This was so bad a temper, that Christabel could not bear to try to touch him with the thought of his sick mother.

Your uncle is kind enough to take you with him to his house, and will endeavour to make you fit to try to get upon the foundation by the time there is a vacancy." "O Papa! don't," sobbed Henry. "I can't help it, Hal!

"You will find people everywhere who will let you have no peace, unless you do not care for them; though you will not be left to the Grevilles any longer." "Yes, Papa; when I am away from them, you will see " "No, Hal, I shall not see, I shall hear." "Shall not I sail with you, then, Papa?" "You will not sail at all: I thought you knew that."
Perhaps this did not make him any easier in the conscience, but he had a very unlucky sentiment, that as he was already naughty and in disgrace, it was of no use to take the trouble of being good till he could make a fresh beginning; and after what the Grevilles had said, he did not think that would be till Papa and Mamma came home; he did not at all mean to give in to a girl that was not even twenty.
"Church was the only place where I COULD have gone that St. Barnabas' Day." "I would have gone," said the self-contradictory Henry, "only the Grevilles are always at one for being like a girl." "Ha! now we see daylight!" said the Captain. "'The Grevilles are at one, that's more like getting to the bottom of it."
