The death of Mrs Moorhouse, and the marriage of the mathematical brother, had left Sylvia homeless, though not in any distressing sense; her inclination was to wander for a year or two, and she remained in England only until the needful arrangements could be concluded. 'You had better come with me, she said to Sidwell, as they walked together on the lawn after luncheon. The other shook her head.

By infants I mean such as had to be carried in the arms, for those who could walk at all have been classed among the boys and girls. I have never known a case of twins among the Aborigines, and Mr. Moorhouse informs me that no case has ever come under his observation; but Captain Grey found such to occur sometimes in Western Australia.
