I had business I was kept longer than I expected " Here he turned quickly to Robin "Unharness, boy! unharness! and come in to supper!" "Where's Landon?" asked Robin. "Landon? Oh, I've left him in the town." He pulled off his driving-gloves, and unbuttoned his overcoat then strode into the house.
Arden and Annie lived near him, and were happy: and if I would come to "Bizarre," he would show me the young lady whom I had carried off, that night, from the chapel graveyard, on the croup of my saddle! Landon laughed. His face was charming; it was easy to see that he was happy.
Then, as Landon jumped up beside him, he smiled, seeing the soft, wistful face of the girl watching him from beneath a canopy of roses. "Take care of the house while I'm gone!" he called to her; "You'll find Robin in the orchard." He laid the lightest flick of the whip on the mare's ears, and she trotted rapidly away.
"Oh! only those Whose souls have felt this one idolatry, Can tell how precious is the slightest thing Affection gives and hallows! A dead flower Will long be kept, remembrancer of looks That made each leaf a treasure." Miss Landon. The whole family connection living in the neighborhood had dined at Ion that Christmas day, and several had stayed to tea.
It was with a conviction anyway that great things might be in the balance that she stepped into Landon's car on Sunday afternoon and settled herself back against the cushions. They disregarded the fortnight's lapse in their friendship; neither referred to it in any way, and Landon was exceptionally cheerful and full of conversation on the drive out.

If you meet Nash hurry him along. Moore is anxious to run those lines. Keep in touch with Landon, and if anybody turns up from the district office say I'll be back on Friday. Good luck." "Same to you. So long."

"You will find the king very much out of humor," said General von Saldern; "he has not left his study to-day, and doubtless he is occupied with very serious plans." "Perhaps even with the plan of a battle," said another of the gentlemen, "for it is said that Lacy has advanced his army, and even that Landon has left Dresden.
Already she had recognised the fact that this was not a man to be snubbed. Neither had she, notwithstanding her momentary irritation, any real desire to do so. "You do not know many people here?" "I know no one," he confessed. "I am Elisabeth Landon," she told him. "Mr. Foley is my uncle. My mother and I live with him and always help him to entertain."
Mr Landon proposed raising a subscription for the orphans. "That is not wanted," said Michael Hale, "I will take charge of two of them, and more, if the rest do not find homes Fanny and Tommy shall become my children." "And I will take another girl then," said Mr Landon; "and the poor infant, my daughter will nurse it." "I will take a boy," said Mr Sudbury.
