She sat on the floor, with her face against her mother's knee, while the soft, silly voice above her head rambled and rambled on. Tatham rode back to Pengarth. As he approached one of the lodge gates of Duddon, a man came toward him on a bicycle. Boden, hot and dishevelled, dismounted as he saw Tatham. "I thought I should just meet you.

Possessed by these simple but interesting ideas, the Pengarth man sharply noticed, first that the gate of the enclosure was padlocked, Melrose himself supplying a key from his pocket; next that most of the windows of the front were shuttered; and lastly strange and unique fact, according to his own recollections of the Tower that two windows on the ground floor were standing wide open, giving some view of the large room within, so far as two partially drawn curtains allowed.

"I am old enough to feel and to mean all that I said to you, Mr. Pengarth," she answered gravely. "And that reminds me, too there was something else I meant to ask you." "Sister," Mr. Pengarth said, "have you ordered the wine and the cake?" "Bless me, no!" Miss Rachael declared. "It shall be ready in five minutes." She entered the house. Mr. Pengarth stooped to pick some lavender.

"Some of the people in the neighborhood would be very glad " Mr. Pengarth began. "I do not wish to see them," Wingrave answered. Mr. Pengarth took a peach, and held his tongue. Wingrave broke the silence which followed a little abruptly. "Tell me, Mr. Pengarth," he said, "do I look like a man likely to fail in anything he sets out to accomplish?" The lawyer shook his head vigorously.

I should be willing to steer my course accordingly to give you a reasonable freedom. There are two old clerks in the estate-office, who know everything that is to be known about the property, and there are my solicitors both in Carlisle and Pengarth. For the rest, you are a lawyer, and there are some litigations pending. Your legal knowledge would be of considerable service.

"I propose to take the night train from Pengarth this evening, and consult old Fledhow to-morrow morning." "Old Fledhow," alias James Morton Fledhow, solicitor, head of one of that small group of firms which, between them, have the great estates of England in their pigeon-holes, had been the legal adviser of the Tatham family for two generations.

Faversham is our man. I must see Faversham at once, and set him to work! If I find him, I will report the result to you, Mrs. Melrose so far by luncheon time." He departed, to ring up the Threlfall office in Pengarth and inquire whether Faversham could be seen there. Victoria left the room with him. "Have you forgotten these rumours of which Undershaw wrote you?" "What, as to Faversham?

"Can't you see, Netta, that I'm very busy?" "I can't help it! it's about baby." With a muttered "D n!" Melrose came toward her. "What on earth do you want?" Netta looked at him defiantly. "I want to be told whenever the cart goes into Pengarth there were lots of things to get for baby. And I must have something here that I can drive myself. We can't be cut off from everything."

But you can't stay in London all through the hot weather!" "Miss Pengarth has asked me to go down there," she said. He laid his hand suddenly upon hers. "Juliet," he said. She shook her head. "Miss Lundy, please!" "Well, Miss Lundy then! May I talk to you seriously?" "I prefer you frivolous," she murmured. "I like to be amused." "I'll be frivolous enough later on this evening.

"Grown up," Miss Rachael protested vigorously, "rubbish!" "I am nineteen years old," Juliet declared. "And what if you are," Miss Rachael replied briskly. "In my young days we were in the nursery at nineteen." "Quite so," Mr. Pengarth assented with relief. "You took me by storm just now, Miss Juliet. After all, you are only a child."
