He spoke authoritatively, and Miss Kimble, though convinced it was a mere pretence of her graceless pupil that her father would not see her, had to yield, and rose. Mr. Duff rose also, saying he would walk with her. He returned to the cottage, dined with them, and left about eight o'clock.
That of course sets everything right at least even then the open street, you know! You will understand, Mr. Sclater. I beg your pardon, Sir Gilbert. I hope I did not hurt you with my parasol!" Gibbie again laughed aloud. "Thank you," said Miss Kimble confused, and annoyed with herself for being so, especially before her girls. "I should be sorry to have hurt you.
"I know something of the circumstances that led to the acquaintance of Miss Galbraith with Sir Gilbert," he said, "and I am sure it would only annoy her father to have any allusion made to it by one excuse me, Miss Kimble who is comparatively a stranger. I beg you will leave the matter to me." Fergus regarded Gibbie as a half witted fellow, and had no fear of him.

Many of the higher church officers were entertained at Gardner's house and table, among whom were Brigham Young, George A. Smith, Heber C. Kimble, George Taylor, and Parley P.
