Teen's colour seemed to have deepened, but it might be only the fire which glowed upon it. 'Ye dinna mean to say that that micht happen? 'What for no'? queried Mrs. Macintyre easily, as she cut a slice from the loaf and held it on a fork before the fire.
I do not wish to listen to your objections to-night. You will naturally have them, but they will be overcome. Mrs Macintyre is a pearl amongst women. Good-night, George; good-night. Miss Delacour left the room. George Lennox did not go to bed that night until very late. 'Well, he said to himself at last, 'I did not know I could be snubbed by any one; but that woman, she drives me wild.
There is nothing in its way more difficult than to start a new school; and Mrs Macintyre, with all her vast experience for she had been mistress of more than one of the celebrated houses at Cheltenham College in the time of the great and noble Miss Beale, and had in fact, until her marriage, been a teacher knew well what special difficulties she had before her, more particularly in a mixed school.
Hollyhock was vexed, because she had a great pride, and did not wish even insignificant people like Lady Jane Carden to speak against her. The great inspection of the school came to an end, and the children were to assemble there as soon as possible on the morrow. Mrs Macintyre, however, declared that there would be no lessons until the following day.

'This sounds like a wonderful and delightful dream. 'My only dread, thought Mrs Maclure to herself whilst waiting for Mrs Constable to join her, 'is that that good man, James Cadell, will lose his heart to her.
'Well, I was always outspoken, my dear, and I heard of your trials, and your noble courage, and the fact that you 'd got hold of one of the bonniest bits of land in the whole of Scotland. Why, Ardshiel could be full over and over again if it wasn't mixed. But mixed it must not be. 'I 'm very sorry to displease you, Jane, said Mrs Macintyre; 'but the thing cannot be altered now.
'We have come with a request, said Lady Leucha. 'And what is that, my child? asked Mrs Macintyre. 'Mrs Macintyre, said Lady Leucha, 'you have in your school far more English than Scotch girls. 'That is true, my dear at least, it is true up to the present. But I have heard to-day from my dear friend Mrs Maclure that fifteen new Edinburgh lassies will arrive on Saturday.
He's a fine chap, an' he's in terrible earnest aboot something, said Mrs. Macintyre thoughtfully, as she shook out the garment she had been rubbing. 'There's a something deep doon in thon heart no' mony can see. But the place is no' the place it was to him or to me. What way wull ye no' gang up? Eh, but he wad be fell glad to see ye, my lady'
By means of a diagram and a few words chalked upon the slate Macintyre was soon made to comprehend what Jack meant, and then they both climbed up and, with considerable difficulty, arranged themselves in the required position.
There was a good-humoured twinkle in his sharp eyes, and being quick as a monkey at imitating the movements of those around him, Mrs. MacIntyre found nothing to criticise in his manners when Malcolm and Keith brought him into the house. Their pride in him was something amusing, and seeing that, after all, he was an inoffensive little fellow, she made no more objections to their playing with him.
