"Sister, will you introduce me to Mr Walcot?" "With the greatest pleasure, my dear brother. Mr Walcot, my brother, Mr Enderby. Brother, my friend, Mr Walcot." Mr Walcot blushed with delight, looked as if he longed to shake hands if he dared, and said something of his joy at becoming acquainted with the brother of so kind a friend as Mrs Rowland.
We have not the slightest objection to meet Mr Walcot." "Neither wish nor objection," said Hester, calmly. "We are perfectly indifferent about him." Sydney vehemently beckoned his father, who left the apricot he and Margaret were examining by the surgery wall, and came to see what he was wanted for.
"The Hopes shall remain as long as they wish to stay, if truth can prevail against falsehood. I am sorry for you, if you cannot endure the presence of neighbours whose whole minds and conduct are noble and humane, and known by you to be so.

A servant-maid was to go in each, to take care of the provisions, and provide tea at the ruins; and Alice and her companion were alert and smiling.

There is nothing more to fear for them." "You have done your duty by them: now " "My duty! What has it been to theirs? Oh, Maria! what a spectacle has that been!
When the visitors were gone, Mr Walcot being allowed to find his way out as he could, the little girls heard them discussed in the way which might be expected, and were then desired to finish their catechism and hymn.
But Morris held the door open, rather wider than before. "So the gentleman is not at home," said the tall woman, gruffly. "If I come again in an hour with my poor baby, will he be at home then?" "Is my brother gone, Morris?" "Yes, Miss, three minutes ago." "Then he will not be back in an hour. We do not expect him ." "This good woman had better go to Mr Walcot, ma'am, as I have been telling her.

So she sailed away with the children. "This is no time for ceremony," observed Enderby, as he led the way to the walk under the trees.
Mr Walcot was delighted with the invitation to the water-party, but was fully engaged for the next three weeks. Mr Grey decreed that he was to be waited for. Then the lady moon had to be waited for another ten days; so that it was past the middle of August before Mrs Grey and Sophia were called upon to endure Mr Walcot's society for six hours.
