With a lighter heart than Lloyd could have believed possible half an hour earlier, she went up to her room.

I always leave my window up the width of my handkerchief-box." As they went out to the great corridor Olivia spoke softly to St. George. "Look up," she said.
Mary, the nurse, had not been forgotten a pretty handkerchief-box was to bear her name; and there was even a bottle of scent for Anne, the kitchen servant, and a pencil-case for Hughes, the coachman. "They'll be so surprised," she said. "I'm sure they won't expect such lovely presents as these."
