A little happiness will do them a great deal more good than the pound would do to us. The drops that will fill their little cup will but be lost in our sea. 'Yes, I like what comes from Vale Leston to be still a festive matter, said Mrs. Underwood; 'and at least we are sure the dear boy will never spend it selfishly.
Fergus Merrifield might not come near Primrose and Lily, and was charmed to accept an invitation from his friend and admirer, Adrian Vanderkist, to Vale Leston, where he would be able to explore the geology of Penbeacon, to say nothing of the coast; while his sister Felicia, who had been one of the victims, remained to be disinfected with Miss Mohun.
