It will help to pay for the Flowers' education; but I greatly fear, my Hollyhock, that you will be a great deal alone. In fact, the whole of to-morrow I have to spend at Dundree, Lord Ian's place. I wish I could take you with me, my darling; but that is impossible, and I must leave you now, for I have to look over certain accounts which Lord Ian brought with him.
Hollyhock was vexed, because she had a great pride, and did not wish even insignificant people like Lady Jane Carden to speak against her. The great inspection of the school came to an end, and the children were to assemble there as soon as possible on the morrow. Mrs Macintyre, however, declared that there would be no lessons until the following day.
It's Hollyhock, mean little scamp, who is the sinner, and yet you call her brave and noble. 'Hollyhock has most fully repented, and therefore is noble. I intend always to love her as she deserves to be loved. 'Well, I don't care, said Leucha. 'She is nothing to me in the future. I 'll have nothing to do with her nothing at all. Again Mrs Macintyre was silent.
'Aweel, I love him better than ever, the bonnie lad with his black eyes. 'Children, said Lennox, 'it is high time for you all to go to bed. We must get through the boys' names as fast as possible.

Hollyhock whispered certain directions to her followers to try to get Daisy out of the way. This they promised, feeling quite sure that they could easily manage it. Just as Daisy's last morsel of candle expired a voice sounded from afar: 'Daisy Watson, you are wanted in the house. Go in as fast as you can!
She dashed away from The Paddock. Again, on her way home, Hollyhock was entertained by the sounds of mirth at Ardshiel. On this occasion a number of girls were playing tennis, and her own sisters, Jasmine and Gentian, blew rapturous kisses to her. This seemed to the unhappy child to be the last straw. 'Who is that girl? asked Ivor Chetwode. 'She is my sister, replied Jasmine. 'Your sister!
The fair Fanny laughed. "I don't think he knows one from another." "Nor I either," said I, "that is, when I fairly lose sight of a rose or a hollyhock." "The farm will interest you more," said Lady Ellinor. We came to farm buildings recently erected, and no doubt on the most improved principle.
She was a very reserved English girl, and had only been won over to Hollyhock by slow degrees. But, once she was won over, her heart was in a state of intense and passionate devotion. She would, in short, do anything for this radiant young creature. 'Holly, she said, as a slight pause in the animated conversation gave her the chance she required, 'confession is good for the soul. Meg knows that.
