But the proffered caress, far from waking in Eleanor a responsive feeling, caused her to shrink further away from Lady Strangways' side. "You are very kind, Lady Strangways," she said uneasily, "but but we are only strangers as yet, aren't we?"
But Eleanor had heard enough. Margaret was safe. In her intense relief and joy at the news Eleanor let the receiver fall with a clang, and when Geoffrey and Maud, having heard her voice at the telephone, came flying downstairs, they found her shedding tears of joy. "Margaret is found!" she said in glad accents. "Sir Richard Strangways has just telephoned."
His two brothers died unmarried, and his elder sister, who is dead too, left no children. And there is only this Lady Strangways left. And she has been out of England so long, that she knew nothing of your grandfather's desire to keep you apart from your father's family." "But how did she learn that you, that I, well, that her niece was staying with Mrs. Murray?" "Through Mrs.

Lady Strangways knew she was listening to a magnificent voice, and sheer delight and amazement held her spellbound for some moments after the last full, throbbing notes had died away into silence.
I may here mention that the accident which occurred to me at the starting of the Expedition from Adelaide has rendered my right hand almost useless for life. The Journal concludes with the following letter: To the Honourable H.B.T. Strangways, Commissioner of Crown Lands and Immigration. Adelaide, December 18, 1862. Sir,

Wind south-east, with a few clouds. Latitude, 15 degrees 10 minutes 40 seconds. Sunday, 22nd June, Rock Camp, River Strangways. A few heavy clouds about. We are now in the country discovered by Mr. Gregory.

The Melpomene's gun-room was low so low that Strangways seldom entered it but he contused himself and it was also dark as the inside of a hat, and undeniably stuffy.
So home with my mind at very great ease, over the water to the Tower, and thence, there being nobody at the office, we being absent, and so no office could be kept. Sir W. Batten and I to my Lord Mayor's, where we found my Lord with Colonel Strangways and Sir Richard Floyd, Parliament-men, in the cellar drinking, where we sat with them, and then up; and by and by comes in Sir Richard Ford.
