The Little Northwold trees, in dark, sober tints of brown and purple, hung over the grey wall, tinted by hoary lichen; and as Louis entered the Ormersfield field paths, and plunged into his own Ferny dell, the long grass and brackens hung over the path, weighed down with silvery dew, and the large cavernous web of the autumnal spider was all one thick flake of wet.
There was everywhere great affection and sympathy for the bright, fantastic being whom all laughed at and liked, and Northwold and the neighbourhood felt that they could have better spared something more valuable. The danger was hardly exaggerated even by Charlotte.
'The Northwold baths have been recommended for Louisa, said Fitzjocelyn. 'Before we knew of your objections, we mentioned Miss Faithfull's lodgings. What the Earl was about to utter, he suppressed. 'You cannot look at those girls and name manoeuvring! cried Louis. 'Poor things. After a silence, Lord Ormersfield added, with more anxiety than prudence, 'Set my mind at rest, Louis.
'Not unless his own wishes went the same way. 'At least, Lord Ormersfield will see Miss Conway! 'I am afraid that will do no good. It will not be for the first time. Lady Conway has been his dread from the time of his own marriage; and if she should come to Northwold, he will be in despair. I do think he must be right; she must be making a dead set at Louis.

In fact, she had come to regard him as an accessory of Northwold, and was delighted to enjoy some exchange of sympathy upon Terrace subjects above all, when separated from the school-room party. Time had brought her to perceive that the fantastic Viscount did not always wear motley, and it was almost as refreshing as meeting with Clara, to have some change from the two worlds in which she lived.
When he rode to Northwold, the following afternoon, having spent the morning in walking over his fields, he overtook a most comfortable couple James and Isabel, returning from their holiday stroll, and Louis, leaving his horse at the inn, and joining them, began to hear all their school affairs.
Different opinions are held as to the character of the architecture of the bays thus destroyed. Some hold that Bishop Northwold built the choir and presbytery, from the central tower to the east end, in the Early English style, and that three of his bays were thrown down by the fall of the tower ; others think that the bays now ruined were part of the Norman work.
I hope you will be here when we go out, for going round to Northwold brought me into a direful scrape when I went to exhibit myself to the dear old Terrace world. My father said it was an unworthy ambition. What would he have thought, if he had seen Jane stroking me down with the brush on the plea of dust, but really on the principle of stroking a dog! Good old Jane! Have you seen her yet?
