"Then that makes Sea View all right," said Gregory. "Because this will do instead." The poor Rotherams! Sea View had suddenly become tame and almost tiresome. Mrs. Avory saw their regrets in their faces, and cheered them up by the remark that the caravan must sometimes be lent to others. "Oh, yes," said Janet. "Do you think Dr. Rotheram would let you go?" she asked Mary.
For a while after the letter was finished the Avories were too excited and thoughtful to speak, while as for the Rotherams and Horace Campbell, however they may have tried, they could not disguise an expression, if not exactly of envy, certainly of disappointment.

They had been gone two or three hours, and Mrs. Avory was sitting talking with Runcie, when Eliza Pollard brought a card on the brass tray that Janet had repoussed for her mother's last Christmas present.
