The old soldier had changed his quarters too often to be keenly interested in any temporary abode, provided it would hold the requisite amount of children, and had a pleasant sitting-room for his Lily, but he inspected politely and gratefully, and had a warmly affectionate interview with Macrae, who had just arrived with a great convoy of needfuls from Silverfold, and who undertook to bring up and guard the two boys from any further impertinences that might excite Master Grove's pugnacity.
She had no desire to transgress Miss Mohun's desire that no further intercourse should take place till she herself had spoken with Kalliope. She found little Phyllis Devereux a great deal taller and thinner than the droll childish being who had been so amusing two years before at Silverfold, but eagerly throwing herself into her arms with the same affectionate delight.
The place of the circus was an open piece of ground lying between Silverton and Silverfold, and thither they betook themselves- Miss Hackett in an old bonnet and waterproof that might have belonged to any woman, and Dolores wearing a certain crimson ulster, which she had bought in Auckland for her homeward voyage, and which her cousins had chosen to dub as "the Maori."
Moreover, she presently came in sight of Val and Fergus supremely happy over a castle on the beach, and evidently indoctrinating the two little Varleys with some of the dramatic sports of Silverfold. Aunt Ada found another acquaintance, a white moustached old gentleman, who rose from a green bench in a sunny corner, saying, 'Ah, Miss Mohun, I have been guarding your seat for you.
Her husband is a general, Sir Jasper Merrifield, and he is gone out to command in some place in India; but she cannot stand the climate, and is living at home at a place called Silverfold, with a whole lot of children. I think two are gone out with their father, but there are a great many more. 'Don't you know them at all? 'No, and don't want to! I think my aunts were unkind to mother!
I say we, for I find I shall have to be invalided before I can be entirely patched up, so that mamma and I shall have a sort of postponed silver wedding tour, a new variety for the old folks "from home." 'Oh, is papa coming home? cried Valetta. 'For good! Oh, I hope it will be for good, added Gillian. 'Then we shall live at dear Silverfold all the days of our life, added Fergus.
In the meantime, most of the movables from Silverfold were transported thither, and there was a great deal of walking and driving to and fro, planning for the future, and revelling in the spring outburst of flowers.
If it had not been for the measles, I should never have had that most delicious time at Silverfold, nor known Mysie. Now, please tell me all about where you have been, and what you have been doing.
'These are worse hills than at Silverfold, and I don't want you to come down by the sea-wall. 'I am sure I would not go there for something, among all the stupid people. 'If you keep to the turnpike you can't come to much harm with Bruno. 'That is awfully -I mean horribly dusty! There's the cliff road towards Arnscombe. 'That is safe enough.
'Valetta wished it too, and she knew so much Latin to begin with that I thought she would easily get it, and certainly she ought not to get into difficulties. 'After the silken rein and easy amble of Silverfold, the spur and the race have come severely. 'It is, I suppose, the same with Gillian, though there it is not competition. Do you expect her to succeed? 'No.
