'Don't you hear, Fulbert? said Felix, looking up from his book. Fulbert gave a pull to the newspaper that was spread under his works on the table, and sent all his chips and sawdust on the ground. 'O Fulbert! how naughty! broke out Alda. 'Fulbert, are you going to mind? asked Wilmet. 'Please remember. 'I shall go in proper time, growled Fulbert.
'He was looking so thin, and had such a cough, I was quite concerned when he walked out here on Good Friday afternoon, continued Mrs. Froggatt. 'I hope he is taking care. 'Wilmet is always at him about it, said Lance. 'That is right. And I hope he minds to keep the office-door shut. It is such a draughty place! Does he wear flannel, do you know, my dear? 'I think so, said Robina.
I was written to, and told that her strong desire was such a favourable condition, that I had better consent, so as not to protract the strain of spirits. She made a point of no one else knowing except Clement. 'Ah! Wilmet spoke as if under a weight, 'that was the day Clement went down to Dearport, and came home so late! How could Sister Constance consent not to tell me?
"Sophy can say, 'Now, boys, as effectively as Wilmet," said Geraldine, when she met Lance, who had been to the quay to see them off. "She did not say so to much advantage with her own boys," said Clement. "We weren't Harewoods," returned Lance, "and John never could bear to see a tight hand over them; but there's good in them that will come out some day."

No doubt Wilmet was sensible of a blank when she came home, though she would not allow it, and stoutly defended her Captain's right of going where and when he pleased without notice.
'I am quite able to take care of her, I can always lift her, said Wilmet, surprised. 'I would not go on any account, protested Cherry. 'I should be like the old woman in that Servian proverb, who paid five dollars to go to the fair, and would have paid ten to be safe at home again.
'I don't like to begin, Felix, said Wilmet; 'there would be reciprocity, and no one knows where it might lead to. 'A few white muslin frocks eh, W. W.? I think we could stand them. 'That is not all I mean, said Wilmet; 'it is the sort of style of thing.
He was keeping his promise to Wilmet of not seeking a house till her return, when Mr. and Mrs.
'Ah! said Wilmet, 'we'll have Angel out of the way of that kind of chatter. 'Poor little maid! of course I had to quench her, said Felix, as far as her own day was concerned. I told her more about it than she had ever heard, but then she took me aback by saying Father was happy, and she thought he would like her to be happy. 'You didn't consent! exclaimed Wilmet.
