Hilda! where are you, dear?" called Dame Hartley's voice from the other side of the currant-bush-hedge. And catching up her basket, and bidding a hasty good-by to her new acquaintance and future scholar, Hildegarde darted back through the bushes. Zerubbabel Chirk looked after her a few moments, with kindling eyes and open mouth of wonder and admiration.
But one boy says it must be Chrome Castle, and another votes for Topaz Tower; so I don't know how it will end." "When I was a little girl," said Hildegarde, "I had a book, the dearest little book, called 'Pumpkin House. It was about " "Oh, DID you have 'Pumpkin House?" cried Bell Merryweather, eagerly.

Hildegarde explained that the place had belonged to a cousin of her mother's, who left it to her at his death. "Oh!" said Miss Merryweather; then she considered a little, with her head on one side.
"I will pilot him safely through the rocks and deep waters; nothing makes a man as self-reliant as feeling that he is trusted entirely." And knowing that Colonel Mostyn was an elderly man, who knew about as much as there was to know of life in all its phases, Lady Hildegarde had no scruples.
