Both Mr. and Mrs. Livesay considered their daughter Mary their chief treasure; indeed, she was everything that a daughter ought to be. There was one thing, however, lacking that her three sisters possessed: she was not beautiful.
'I shall hate them both, I know I shall, said Mabel to her sister Julia, on the morning of the day on which Miss Livesay was expected to come to Camden Terrace. 'There will be lessons and work, lessons and work, all the day long. I shall be miserable, I know I shall; and I'll tell mamma so, and beg of her not to let me go.
T.B. Heslop, "68" trench, A Company under Capt. Livesay, Lille Post. The sector proved to be very quiet and the trenches exceptionally good. It is interesting to note that about this time the training of bombers was organised, and 2nd Lieut. P.H.B. Lyon of the Battalion was appointed first Brigade Bombing Officer.
Polke, superintendent of police at Scarnham, Livesay said that when he first saw the two gentlemen they were coming from the direction of Ellersdeane Tower. There was a path right across the Hollow, from a point in front of the Warren, to the Tower, and thence to the woods on the Scarnham side. That was the path the two gentlemen were on. He was absolutely certain about the time, for two reasons.
It is my intention if you do not object, continued Miss Livesay, 'to leave dear Mabel with you, and to take that refractory young gentleman, whose kicking and shouting, as I came to the door, must have disturbed you, home with me to Oak Villa.

'And now, said Miss Livesay, after the young tribe had left the room, 'let us proceed to business.
'Wait, my dear, and you shall hear all, replied Miss Livesay. "Captain Gordon has got leave of absence for six months; will you, can you, dear Mary, let me come again to the dear old home? there is no place like it!" Dear Irene, cried Aunt Mary, she little thinks how I long to see her, and the quick tears testified the melting heart.
Nor had Mabel and Julia been forgotten by their aunt; both a workbox and a writing-case were laid aside for the latter: those intended for her sister Miss Livesay had not brought, thinking it unnecessary, as Mabel was to return with her to Oak Villa. 'Well, my dear Mabel, said Aunt Mary, as the two girls entered the room; 'so you are equipped and ready for a start, I see.
