'Ready to send me round the country, with the first knight- errant that starts up? said the girl, in an aggrieved voice. 'And if I had proposed such a thing! 'My dear, said Mr. Falkirk, 'you would have been perfectly safe at Dr. Maryland's. And much better off than in this old mill. I am not sure but I ought to have made you go. 'What do you mean by "enemies," just now, Mr. Falkirk?
If Miss Kennedy will trust herself to me perhaps it would be less wearisome than to stay here; and it would make a jubilee at Dr. Maryland's as you know, sir. I will send the wagon back for you to-morrow, in that case. 'It is for her to say! Mr. Falkirk answered, rather gloomily.
