"Miss Walkingham" was announced, and she rose surprised, for the lady in question had only come to Stoneborough for a couple of days with an infirm mother, who, having known Dr. May in old times, had made it her especial request that he would let her see his daughters. She was to proceed on her journey to-day, and the return of the visit had been by no means expected.
"Umph!" said Flora; "beauty and manners seemed to me much on a par. This is one of papa's swans, indeed!" "I can't believe it was Miss Walkingham at all," said Ethel. "It must have been some boy in disguise." "Dear me!" cried Margaret, starting with the painful timidity of helplessness. "Do look whether anything is gone. Where's the silver inkstand?"
Besides, a London grand young lady oh!" and Ethel shook her head in disgust. "That is not the way you treat Meta Rivers." "Oh, Meta is different! She has never been out!" "I should have been glad for you to have seen Miss Walkingham," said her father. "Pretty manners are improving; besides, old Lady Walkingham begged me to send my daughters."
"Miss Walkingham," said Ethel, "but you won't understand. She seemed half wild! Worse than me!" "How did you like the pretty improving manners?" asked Harry. "Manners! she had none," said Flora. "She, highly connected! used to the best society!" "How do you know what the best society do?" asked Harry. "The poor thing seemed very shy," said Margaret. "I don't know about shyness," said Flora.
He really fetched his arithmetic, and his voice was soon heard asking how he was ever to put an end to a sum that would turn to nothing but everlasting threes. "What have you been doing, young ladies?" asked Dr. May. "Did you call on Miss Walkingham?" "Flora and Blanche did," said Ethel; "I thought you did not want me to go, and I had not time.
How she got into her chair, they hardly knew, for Flora was at that moment extremely annoyed by hearing an ill-bred peal of Mary's laughter in the garden, close to the window; but she thought it best to appear unconscious, since she had no power to stop it. Margaret thought the stranger embarrassed, and kindly inquired for Lady Walkingham.
"Where did your bonnet come from?" "It was a new one of Adams's wife. Mary got it for me. Come in, Polly, they have found it out. Did you not hear her splitting with laughing outside the window? I would not let her come in for fear she should spoil all." "And I was just going to give her such a scolding for giggling in the garden," said Flora, "and to say we had been as bad as Miss Walkingham.
