Nothing would induce the Old Squire to take it back, so I had to have it, for my very own. He said he had always been sorry he had spoken so roughly to me, but he could not say so, as he and Father were not on speaking terms. And next day he went to the place to look, and there were the hose-in-hose. Oh, how delighted the others were when they heard that Mary's Meadow belonged to me.
Twenty minutes later James came to tell me that Father wished to see me in the library, and when I got there, Father was just settling his eye-glass in his eye, and the Old Squire was standing on the hearth-rug, with a big piece of paper in his hand. And then I saw that I was right, and that the flowers in his button-hole were hose-in-hose.
It is a very out-of-the-way village, and she has to wait for chances of a cart and team coming and going from one of the farms, and so get a lift. It was the Weeding Woman's aunt who sent me the hose-in-hose. The Weeding Woman told me "Aunt be mortal fond of her flowers, but she've no notions of gardening, not in the ways of a gentleman's garden.
And I sobbed afresh when I remembered that I had been called a liar and a thief, and had lost every one of my hose-in-hose; and this was all that had come of trying to make an Earthly Paradise of Mary's Meadow, and of taking upon myself the name of Traveller's Joy. I told no one. It was bad enough to think of by myself. I could not have talked about it.
