Sir Harry and Lady Laurence of Holtham often called; Lady Charteris came from Greenoke, and all warmly admired the lovely daughters of Lord Earle. Beatrice, with her brilliant beauty, her magnificent voice, and gay, graceful manner, was certainly the favorite. Sir Harry declared she was the finest rider in the county.
"Lillian, make out a list of invitations, and head it with Sir Harry and Lady Laurence of Holtham Hall. That reminds me, their eldest son, Gaspar, came home yesterday from Germany; do not forget to include him." "Little Gaspar," cried Lady Helena "has he returned? I should like to see him." "Little Gaspar," said Lord Earle, laughing, "is six feet high now, mother.
"I am going now," he replied; but at that very moment Lady Earle came up to him. "Ronald," she said, "come into my boudoir. Your father is there he wants to see you before he goes to Holtham." Valentine went straight to her mother's room. Lady Charteris sat waiting for her, beguiling the time with a book. She smiled as her daughter entered.
Sir Harry Laurence, of Holtham Hall, asked Ronald to spend a day with him; and, having no valid excuse, he consented. "I shall not see you tomorrow, Dora," he said. "I am going away for the day." She looked at him with a startled face. One whole day without him! Then, with a sudden deadly pain, came the thought that these golden days must end; the time must come when she should see him no more.
