"Be it so," said Ursel; "I will then stipulate for another condition, which indeed has only reference to this day.
His eyes have been very bad, and he missed me sadly while I was laid up. We are neither of us very strong, and we think if Aunt Ursel and Mary can keep you for a little longer it will be better for you to stay on with them, as it might be as dreary for you as it was last winter, especially as the Rectory folk will soon be going into residence.
