What splendid ideas she has about summering hunters! never met a more sensible woman. Always your affectionate cousin, VERNON PALLISER.
Wendover asked with interest while Laura stood staring. 'Oh no, I only thought it was at first, she managed to reply, very quickly. She had recognised the gentleman he had the fine fair beard of Captain Crispin and her heart seemed to her to jump up and down.
But, as Robert shrewdly suspected, not one of his wiles so far had imposed on the master of Murewell. He had his own sarcastic smiles over them, and over Elsmere's pastoral naïveté in general.

'You must come again next summer, Mrs. Wendover said heartily, as she kissed her daughter's friend. 'Of course she must, cried Horry.
