It had not proved quite so disagreeable an ordeal as she had anticipated, for, after the first expressions of surprise, nobody had referred again to Rotherwood; yet Ingred, on the look-out for slights, imagined that she was not treated with as much consideration as formerly.
How fat you are! was their exclamation. 'Is not he? said Lord Rotherwood. 'I am quite proud of him. Not one headache since he went. He will have no excuse for not dancing the polka. 'I do not return the compliment to you, Lily, said Claude, looking anxiously at his sister. 'What is the matter with you? Have you been ill? 'Oh, no! not at all! said Lily, smiling.
If we had lost Father, or Egbert, or Athelstane out in France we might indeed grieve. So long as we have each other we've got the best thing in life, and we must all cling together as a family, and help one another on. Cheer up!" "It will be simply h h h hateful to go back to school this term, and not live at R r r rotherwood!" sobbed Ingred.
'Ay, and he says he will not let me come here, because I ought to give the Hetherington people ocular demonstration that I go to church, said Lord Rotherwood. 'Very right, as Eleanor would say, observed Claude. 'Very likely; but I don't care for the Hetherington folks; they do not know how to make the holly in the church fit to be seen, and they will not sing the good old Christmas carols.
'But it might be let, said Mysie. 'Yes, I've got a tenant in agitation, said Lord Rotherwood mischievously. 'Never mind, I dare say he won't inquire what you have done with his butter and eggs.

Ingred was stooping to lace her shoe, so perhaps the position accounted for her stifled voice. "We're not going back there." "Not going back!" Francie's tone was one of genuine amazement. "Why, but you said it was being done up for you, and you'd be moving before the term started!"
And then she was very eager to know all about Lord Rotherwood, which rather amazed Dolores, who had been in the habit of hearing her father mention him as 'that mad fellow Rotherwood, while her mother always spoke with contempt of people who ran after lords and ladies, and had been heard to say that Lord Rotherwood himself was well enough, but his wife was a mere fine lady.
Just as Miss Mohun had gone up to get ready, Mysie ran in to say that Cousin Rotherwood would be at the door in a moment to take Fergus down. 'Lady Rotherwood can't bear his going, said Mysie, 'and Mr. White and Mr. Stebbing say that he need not; but he is quite determined, though he has got his arm in a sling, for he says it was all his fault for going where he ought not.
'Do you remember, said the Marquis, 'that there was some great lawyer who had three kinds of handwriting, one that the public could read, one that only his clerk could read, and one that nobody could read? 'I suppose I am the clerk, said Claude, 'unless I divide the honour with Florence. 'I do not think I am unintelligible anywhere but here, said Lord Rotherwood.
