She will have a miserable time of it with our own set, and how many Christians, do you imagine, will hold out a hand to Luke Raeburn's daughter, even though her views have changed? Maybe half a dozen! Not more, I fancy, unless she renounced us with atheism, and that she never will do!
She broke off for this was quite too much for Raeburn's gravity; he laughed, but so pleasantly that she laughed too. "You are thinking of artesian wells, I fancy," he said in his kindly voice; and he began to give her a brief outline of Descartes' philosophy, which it is to be feared she did not at all appreciate.
But she answered bravely, and with a sort of ring in her voice, which made Tom look up from his newspaper. "They will know that Luke Raeburn's daughter must be true to her convictions at whatever cost." "Will you go on writing in the 'Idol'?" asked Tom, for the first time making an observation to her which was not altogether necessary. "No," said Erica "how can I?"
Raeburn's that sent the ball within an inch of the youngest Britling's head and right across the field; the third resulted in a swift pass from Cecily to the elder Britling son away on her right, and he shot the goal neatly and swiftly through the lattice of Mr. Lawrence Carmine's defensive movements.

Eldest daughter of David, sixth Earl of Leven and fifth of Melville, and widow of Sir John Wishart Belsches Stuart, Bart., of Fettercairn. See ante, vol. i. p. 404; vol. ii. pp. 55, 62.
