"I mean has he taken a dislike to Strathleckie, or has anybody offended him? I can't understand it. Just when we were settling down so nicely, and found him such an excellent tutor for the boys! To run away after this fashion! It is too bad!" "Does Mr. Stretton think of leaving Strathleckie?" said Elizabeth, with her eyes bent steadfastly upon the table-cloth. "Think of leaving!
"Then I won't say the word," said Kitty, turning away her head. "I like Scotland better than the Mediterranean." "Then let it be Scotland. What should you say to Netherglen?" "I prefer Strathleckie," replied the girl, with her most provoking smile. "That is no answer. You must give me an answer some day," said Hugo, whose voice was beginning to tremble. "You know what I mean: you know "
But I hate you I hate you and I will never forgive you for what you have done as long as ever I live." Rupert Vivian went to London with a fixed determination not to return to Strathleckie.
For the lad's probably gone under another name. It's just a wild-goose chase that he's starting upon, I'm afraid." "They have seen each other." "Mr. Heron didn't tell me that. And where was it they saw each other, Miss Murray?" "In Italy and here. Here at Strathleckie. Oh, Mr. Colquhoun, it was Brian Luttrell who came with us as the boys' tutor, and we did not know. He called himself Stretton."
I will go to Strathleckie this afternoon; perhaps I can then judge better." "I don't want you to do anything dishonourable," said his aunt, "but, if Elizabeth likes you best, Hugo, I could speak to Mr. Heron the father, I mean and ascertain whether the engagement is absolutely irrevocable. I should like to see you happy as well as Elizabeth Murray."
And then, for the first time, it crossed his mind to wonder whether she was a connection of the Murrays to whom his estate had passed, and from whom he believed that Mr. Heron was renting the Strathleckie house. He had left England without ascertaining what members of the Murray family were living; and the letter in which Mr.
And probably the two women at Netherglen led so retired a life that neither of them was likely to be encountered not even at church; for, although the tenants of Netherglen and Strathleckie went to the same town for divine worship on Sunday mornings, yet Mrs. Luttrell and Angela attended the Established Church, while the Herons were certain to go to the Episcopal. And Hugo was away.
Perhaps you want to turn Netherglen into a convent, and establish a priory at Strathleckie? Well, I cannot prevent you. What fools we are to think that there is any happiness in this world!" "Mother!" said Dino, and his voice was very gentle, "let me speak to you of another before we talk about the estates. Let me speak to you of Brian." "Brian!"
Kitty's objections were easily overcome; and the children thought it perfectly natural that their cousin should share her good gifts with them, in the same way that, when she was younger, she divided with them the toys and sweeties that kind friends bestowed upon her. Therefore, when Hugo called at Strathleckie, he was struck with the fact that it was Mrs.
"For a fortnight only. We came rather suddenly, hearing that the tenant had left this house. We expected him to stay for some time longer." "It is fortunate for us that Strathleckie happened to fall vacant," said Hugo, gravely. "Do you know, Betty," said one of the boys at that moment, "that Mr. Stretton says he has been in Scotland before, and knows this part of the country very well?"
