He took her quite seriously when she told him about Middlemount, and how her family came to settle there, and then how she came to be going to Europe with Mrs. Lander. He said Mrs. Milray had spoken about it; but he had not understood quite how it was before; and he hoped Mrs. Lander was coming to the entertainment. He did not seem aware that Mrs.
By the time he had finished such a repast, he crept out of the dining- room in a state of tension little short of anguish, which he confided to the sympathy of the bootblack in the washroom. He always went from having his shoes polished to get a toothpick at the clerk's desk; and at the Middlemount House, the morning after he had been that drive with Mrs.
Milray seemed surprised at the good round sum, as the landlady thought it, which she asked in the girl's behalf. The Milrays stayed through August, and Mrs. Milray was the ruling spirit of the great holiday of the summer, at Middlemount.

Lander began with involuntary apology in her tone, "we just wished to know which of these roads went to South Middlemount. We've come from the hotel, and we wa'n't quite ce'tain." The girl laughed as she said, "Both roads go to South Middlemount'm; they join together again just a little piece farther on."

Milray decided that another fold of cheese-cloth would add to the statuesque charm of her figure, and give her more height; and she was richly satisfied with the effect when the Middlemount coach drove up to the great veranda the next morning, with all the figures of her picture in position on its roof, and Clementina supreme among them.
