Michael was there in the glory of his first knickerbockers, and Mrs. Bury was there, and her last words ere the bride came down dressed for the journey were, 'How about "that stick," my dear? 'Ah! sticks are sometimes made of good material. 'There is a tree that groweth by the Water Side, said Adela. Five years later almost all the members of the Morton family were met once more at Westhaven.
Martha Greaves was an English girl who had crossed the ocean early in the summer with Tory Drew's father and step-mother to spend the summer in Westhaven. She was singularly tall with light brown hair and gray-blue eyes. After she had spoken she appeared a little embarrassed as if she regretted having called the attention of the other girls to her presence.
Tory rose up. "May I start with Kara to our dancing grounds? It may take me some time and Mrs. Phillips is to arrive in less than an hour for our first dance rehearsal. I have an idea, or perhaps a hope, that our Greek dance which Evan is to lead, will be one of the most beautiful, beautiful things that has ever been seen in Westhaven."
Arriving a stranger in Westhaven the winter before, among Victoria Drew's first acquaintances were Dorothy McClain and her six brothers. Their father was the leading physician in Westhaven and an old friend of her aunt and uncle. They were neighbors as well. In the beginning Tory had believed she preferred Lance to any of the other boys.
'It was not like a ghost, said Rose. 'You know I had come down for the bank-holiday, and went back to finish my quarter at the art embroidery.

She did not feel troubled over this because she had studied dancing and loved it. So she gave dancing lessons in California, and before I was two years old I was a member of her class. We never would have stopped save that mother was ill and we were forced to come east to consult a doctor. We came to Westhaven to live so she could be near New York and I at school.
Morton really seemed quite broken down, both by sorrow and fear for the boy, and by the shame, the dread of the story getting into the papers, and the sense that she could never go on living at Westhaven; and her brother-in-law quite overwhelmed her by saying that he should do all in his power to prevent publicity, and that he entirely exonerated her from all blame in the matter.
At first it was always just round the corner or just through the wood; to the last it seemed still but a little way beyond the distant mountains. In the rooms in Westhaven Street that at last were as much as one could call his home, he had accumulated material for one hesitates to call it a book let us say it was an analysis of, a guide to the noble life.
