"As I told you before, madam," said La Fleur, "I don't think you need feel the least fear about the young horses. Their master has a steady hand, and they know his voice, and as for Mrs. Haverley, she's no more afraid of them than if they were two sheep.
After cruising about for three or four hours, their schooner dropped anchor near the Osprey, which had come in half an hour before. "Have you ever been on board the Osprey, Lord Haverley?" Bertha asked. "No, my dear, I don't know that I have ever before been in any port with your friend Major Mallett." "Well, what do you say to our going on board for a few minutes, on our way to shore?
Accordingly, Lord Haverley and his daughter, Lady Greendale and Bertha, and two others of the party were rowed to the Osprey. Frank saw them coming and met them at the gangway. "We are taking you by storm, Major," Lord Haverley said, "but Lady Greendale and her daughter claim an almost proprietary interest in the Osprey, because the latter is her godmother.
It happened at a place where there were no houses near, so I drew the buggy to the roadside, took out the horse, and led him back. I heard voices in here, and I came in. I must go and look for Mr. Haverley, and ask him to lend me a vehicle in which we may return home." Dora stood annoyed; she did not want to return home; at least, not so soon.
Haverley sets such an upper-toned example to his fellow young men. "I spoke of that to Dr. Tolbridge once.
Haverley," she said, "if the ladies of Thorbury come a good deal to Cobhurst. We have more time than the gentlemen, and we all want to get well acquainted with your sister, and help her in every way that we can. Miss Bannister is going to drive over very soon and stop for me on the way, so that we shall call on her together."
As for the sunbonnet, that was simply hideous, but it could be taken off when she chose, and the wearing of it would help her very much in making herself known to Mr. Ralph Haverley. For half an hour the girls worked bravely in the kitchen. Dora had some knowledge of the principles of cookery, though her practice had been small, and Miriam possessed an undaunted courage in culinary enterprises.
Haverley, do you like rolled omelets?" Ralph declared that he liked everything that was good, and had no doubt that rolled omelets were delicious. "Then I shall make some," said Dora, "for I know how to do it. And I think you said, Mr. Haverley, that the coffee to-night was too strong." "A little so, perhaps," said Ralph, "but it was excellent." "Oh, it shall be better in the morning.
Desirous of turning the conversation in another direction without seeming to force it, "It seems to me," she said, "that Mr. and Miss Haverley ought to have somebody better to cook for them than old Phoebe. I have always looked upon her as a sort of a charwoman, working about from house to house, doing anything that people hired her to do."
Just before Cicely reached the back piazza, La Fleur came out of the kitchen door with the telegram in her hand. "Do you know," she said, "if Mr. Haverley has come home, and where I can find him? Here is a message for him, and I have been looking for him, high and low." "A telegram!" exclaimed Cicely. "He is at the barn. I will take it to him.
