They all descended the stair-way leading to the lower part of the yacht, and Macfarlane asked as he followed his host "Is the lass vera bonnie did ye say?" "Bonnie's not the word for it this time," said Lorimer, coolly answering instead of Errington. "Miss Gueldmar is a magnificent woman.
He took it just as it was given. The two women lived too quietly to have heard of him. Otto never told them the truth; but outside the house his deference made up for the familiarity at home. It has been a pretty story to watch, and it has meant a comfortable life for two half-starved women." "Who was the man?" Bobby asked idly. "Lorimer. Sidney Lorimer."
Her worried little face only drew into more anxious lines. "Stephen," she said, "I do wish you would consult Dr. Tudor before you quite decide to have Jeanie home at present." The Vicar's mouth turned down, and he looked for a moment so extremely unpleasant that Mrs. Lorimer quailed.

Clarkson had said. "And I think myself, sir," she added, "that Miss Ruth will be all the better of a cheerful change. She worrits herself with fancies." Ruth looked earnestly up at her father's face, but said nothing. "Worries herself?" repeated Mr. Lorimer, with a puzzled frown. "What can she have to worry about?

It may have been that I felt the company of a comrade of my own kind would be comforting in that assembly; and then I forgot everything as, fixing her bright eyes on me, Grace held out her hand. "It was kind of you to meet me, and this is an unexpected pleasure," she said.

And it's an uncanny business to see the sun losin' a' his poonctooality, and remainin' stock still, as it were, when it's his plain duty to set below the horizon.
