He has been wonderfully slow about it; but then slow as he is, you are slower. If you don't make it up with him now, I really shall think you are very wicked. I am becoming like Lady Midlothian; I can't understand it. I know you want to be his wife, and I know he wants to be your husband, and the only thing that keeps you apart is your obstinacy, just because you have said you wouldn't have him.
Of course you are; and for his sake you are bound to cultivate any advantages that naturally belong to you. As to Lady Midlothian or the marchioness coming to call on you here in your father's house, after all that has passed, you really have no right to look for it." "And I don't look for it." "That sort of people are not expected to call.
But very close to it I put 'Lorna Doone, and 'The Heart of Midlothian, and 'The Cloister and the Hearth, and 'The Ordeal of Richard Feverel, and 'John Inglesant." "If you love 'John Inglesant," said I, "you must be getting old, Uncle Peter." "Oh, no," he answered, comfortably lighting his pipe with a live coal of wood from the hearth, "I am only growing up."
"It's a pleasure to him, which is more to the purpose," said Alice. "Exactly so. And now, my dear, everything is forgiven and shall be forgotten. Come and give me a kiss, and let me wish you joy."

Midlothian, the scene of Mr.
"Yes; and you'll come to me," said Alice, making in her mind a sort of bargain that she was not to be received into Mr Palliser's house after the fashion in which Lady Midlothian had proposed to receive her.

All children need to know what other parts of their own land look like, and what is produced; they ought to trace the products within reach to their origin, and this will involve descriptions of such things as fisheries at Hull or Aberdeen, the coal mines of Wales or Lanarkshire, pottery districts of Stafford, woollen and cotton factories of Yorkshire and Lancashire, mills driven by steam, wind and water, lighthouses, the sheep-rearing districts of Cumberland and Midlothian, the flax-growing of northern Ireland, and much else, and the means of transit and communication between all these.
