But Cecilia was now in her element. Her plan of operations was wide enough even to include Francine. "You shall wash the lettuce, my dear, and stone the olives for Emily's mayonnaise. Don't be discouraged! You shall have a companion; we will send to the rectory for Miss Plym the very person to chop parsley and shallot for my omelet. Oh, Emily, what a morning we are going to have!"
The Plym broadens into the Catwater, used as a haven for merchant-vessels and transports and capable of furnishing anchorage to a thousand ships at one time. The Tamar broadens into the Hamoaze, which is the naval harbor, and is four miles long, with sufficient anchorage-ground for the entire British navy. Sutton Pool is a tidal harbor now used by merchant-vessels.
It suffered severely in the Civil War, and there are still traces of the land-fastenings of the iron chain stretched across the harbor to keep out the French. Westward of the valley of the Dart is the valley of the Plym, also flowing out of Dartmoor.

When that interesting creature marries, her husband will be shall I use the vulgar word? henpecked. Dear Miss Plym, he will enjoy it; and he will be quite right too; and, if I am asked to the wedding, I shall say, with heartfelt sincerity, Enviable man!" In the height of her admiration for Mr. Mirabel's wonderful eye for character, Miss Plym is called away to the piano.
Emily asks. "Suppose you leave off flirting with Mr. Mirabel, and make yourself of some use." "In what way?" "Use your ears and look at that girl." She points disdainfully to innocent Miss Plym. The rector's daughter possesses all the virtues, with one exception the virtue of having an ear for music. When she sings, she is out of tune; and, when she plays, she murders time.
The fisherman had an opportunity of learning that the tides of the Plym, Fal, and Dart were beyond computation better than those of the Severn; in fact, he was asked to believe that the last-named river was no better than a mud heap that got flooded with brackish water twice a day.
Instead of resenting this sharp retort, Francine suddenly breaks into good humor. "Come along, you little spit-fire; I'll manage it for you." She leads Emily to the piano, and stops Miss Plym without a word of apology: "It's your turn to dance now. Here's Miss Brown waiting to relieve you." Cecilia has not been unobservant, in her own quiet way, of what has been going on.
"He is the only one of us," Cecilia sadly acknowledged, "who knows how to cook." When they all left the lodge for a stroll in the park, Francine attached herself to Cecilia and Miss Plym. She resigned Mirabel to Emily in the happy belief that she had paved the way for a misunderstanding between them. The merriment at the luncheon table had revived Emily's good spirits.
To make it people's interest to advance you, by showing that their business will be better done by you than by any other person, is the only solid foundation of success; the rest is accident. Reynolds to His Nephew On the curious little river Plym, five miles from Plymouth, is the hamlet of Plympton. It is getting on towards two hundred years since Joshua Reynolds was born there.
