Gowan then she laughed "but I think he would be afraid to come, don't you, if he knew he was going to have four little rackets like you for such near neighbours. He has come all this way to be perfectly quiet and write his new book." Lynn looked quite impressed. "I think we'd better stop in the orchard," she said soberly. Mrs. Gowan kissed her hand to them and went off laughing to her wagonette.
In the wagonette she sat close beside Aunt Lavvy, with Aunt Lavvy's shawl over her eyes. She wondered how she knew that you were frightened when Mamma didn't. Mamma couldn't, because she was brave. She wasn't afraid of the funeral. When Roddy said, "She oughtn't to have taken us, she ought to have known it would frighten us," Mark was angry with him.
Sometimes he would come home early from the office, and Mamma and Mary would be ready for him, and they would all go together to call at Vinings or Barkingside Vicarage or on the Proparts. Or Mr. Parish's wagonette would be ordered, and Mamma and Mary would put on their best clothes very quick and go up to London with him, and he would take them to St.
"Come, Neeld, we're waiting for you," cried Iver from the wagonette, while Bob in irrepressible spirits burst into song as he gathered up the reins. He had deposed the coachman and had Janie with him on the box. They drove off, waving their hands and shouting good-night.
"Why Ruth's in the other wagonette," said Helen. "She's not with you?" exclaimed Tom, rather chagrined. "Why, how's that?" "We we happened to get into different ones," said his sister. To tell the truth, she had not thought of Ruth since leaving the school. "Is that the other one coming 'way back on the road there?" "Yes," said Helen. "Here's Miss Cox, Tom. Mary, this is my brother."
Molly and Belle, all in white, and looking as charming as little girls could, were full of expectation of their long and delightful day. One wagonette could hold the whole party, and as it drove round to the front door the boys fiercely took possession of the box-seat, fighting with the coachman, who said that there would be no room for Miss Howland to sit between them.
She was not known in Penzance, but the driver of the wagonette might recognize her. But Mr. Crows, indifferent to shillings, had not yet arrived. Sisily hurried past a group scanning the distant heights for the gaunt outline of the descending cab, like shipwrecked mariners on the look-out for a sail.
Shortly after breakfast the wagonette was at the door of the little Barvas inn, and Sheila came out of the house and took her place in it with an unusual quietness of manner and hopelessness of look.
"Take her to a druggist's," ordered the old gentleman, "and let us go to the commissary of police." Hector started on his way with a policeman on either side of him, a third was leading his horse. A crowd followed them and suddenly the wagonette appeared in sight. His wife alighted in consternation, the servant lost her head, the children whimpered.
It is dark in the wagonette, and not so merry as it might have been. The coachman loses the road. So-and-so tries to light fireworks with the most indifferent success. Some sing, but the rest are too weary to applaud; and it seems as if the festival were fairly at an end "Nous avons fait la noce, Rentrons
