I knows her mind! She tells old Josey wot she don't tell nobody else, you bet she do!" John Walden tried not to look interested. "Miss Vancourt will no doubt marry some day," he said, somewhat lamely. "Av coorse she will!" returned Josey "When Mr. Right comes along, she'll know 'im fast enough! Them blue eyes ain't goin' to be deceived, I tell ye!
She's the best I could do, Miss. Her name is Nancy Pyrle I'll send her to you directly." "Yes, do!" answered Miss Vancourt, with a little yawn; "And show me to my rooms; you prepared the ones I told you my mother's rooms?" "Yes, Miss," answered Mrs.
John started walking up and down again. "When is Miss Vancourt expected?" he enquired. "At tea-time this arternoon," replied Bainton. "The train arrives at Riversford at three o'clock, if so be it isn't behind its time, and if the lady gets a fly from the station, which if she ain't ordered it afore, m'appen she won't get it, she'll be 'ere 'bout four." Instinctively Walden glanced at his watch.
For it's all over the place that there's trouble about Miss Vancourt, an' you may take my wurrd for it, Passon, they don't leave the poor little leddy alone, nor you neither, an' never takes into their minds as 'ow you're old enough to be 'er father. That Miss Tabitha don't spare no wurrds agin 'er an' as ye know, Passon, she's a leddy wot's like curdled cream all gone wrong in a thunderstorm.

Though I daresay you know every rosebush in the place, don't you?" "I believe I do!" he admitted "You see an old fogey like myself is bound to have hobbies, and my particular hobby is gardening. I love flowers, and I go everywhere I can, or may, to see them and watch their growth. So that for years I have visited your rose-garden, Miss Vancourt!
Our church would be jes' spoilt with a lot o' trails o' weed round it but you mark my wurrd! Miss Vancourt will be dekratin' the Saint in the coffin at 'Arvest 'Ome wi' corn and pertaters an' vegetable marrers, all a-growin' and a-blowin' afore we knows it. There ain't no sense o' fitness in the feminine natur!" Mrs. Bainton laughed good-naturedly.
That she was destitute of eyebrows, save for a few iron-grey bristles where eyebrows should have been, and that her beautiful Titian hair was lying dishevelled on her dressing table, were facts entirely lost sight of in the stupefaction of the moment. "Maryllia Vancourt does not intend to know US!" she ejaculated, "Nonsense, Eva! The girl must be mad!"
We'll come down on this Adderley we'll take him by surprise and cross-examine him we'll ask him why the devil he has played a double game " "Pray do not think of such a thing!" interrupted Roxmouth, quietly- "I really doubt whether he knows any more than we do.
