And the chocolate old lady was hugged and kissed several times, and then Pen was at liberty to enjoy the delights of the seaside. The lodgings where Miss Tredgold was staying were quite a mile from the station. Pen enjoyed her drive immensely. The look of the broad sea rolling on to the shore had a curious effect upon her strange nature. It touched her indescribably.
The Dales were a healthy race, but one or two of the Tredgolds had died of consumption. Miss Tredgold remembered a young very young sister of her own who had reached Pauline's age, and then quite suddenly had become melancholy, and then slightly unwell, and then more unwell, until the fell scourge had seized her as its prey. She had died when between sixteen and seventeen.
The mating of the moron with a person of sound stock may, as Dr. Tredgold points out, gradually disseminate this trait far and wide until it undermines the vigor and efficiency of an entire nation and an entire race. This is no idle fancy. We must take it into account if we wish to escape the fate that has befallen so many civilizations in the past.
Dale, it had been necessary to remind him at least three times of his sister-in-law's arrival; and finally Verena had herself to put him into his very old evening-coat, to brush him down afterwards, and to smooth his hair, and then lead him into the dining-room. Miss Tredgold, in contradistinction to the rest of the family, was dressed correctly.

Pauline and Verena found Miss Tredgold waiting for them. They went into the shop, which was quite one of the best shops in the High Street.
The girl turned at that moment and, encountering the forehead and eyes, gazed at them until they sank slowly behind the protection of the blind. "She's coming here," said Mr. Tredgold, watching through the wire. "Wants to see our time-table, I expect." He sat down at the table again, and taking up his pen took some papers from a pigeon-hole and eyed them with severe thoughtfulness.
"Didn't I live with her when she was Miss Tredgold?" asked nurse. "And didn't I over and over again help Miss Sophia out of scrapes? Oh, she was a wild young lady!" "You don't mean to tell me that Aunt Sophy ever did anything wrong?" "Nothing mean or shameful; but for temper and for spirit and for dash and for go there wasn't her like. Not a horse in the land was wild enough to please her.
Chalk, looking over his shoulder, slackened his pace and allowed him to overtake him. "Wait for Tredgold," said Stobell, breathlessly, as he laid a heavy hand on his shoulder. Mr. Chalk struggled to free himself. "Where is he?" He gasped. Stobell, still holding him, stood trying to regain his breath. "They they must have got him," he said, at last. "Have you got any of your pistols on you?"
"Lovely morning, sir," said Captain Brisket, who had been for some time exchanging glances with Stobell and Tredgold; "so calm and peaceful." "Bu'ful," said Mr. Chalk, shortly. He was gazing in much distaste at a brig to starboard, which was magically drawn up to the skies one moment and blotted from view the next. "Nice fresh smell," said Tredgold, sniffing. "Have a cigar, Chalk?" Mr.
The absurdity of the situation became unbearable, and despite her indignation at the treatment she had received Miss Drewitt felt a strong inclination to laugh. She turned her head swiftly and looked out of window, and the next moment Edward Tredgold crossed and took the captain's empty chair. "Shall I call him down?" he asked, in a low voice.
