He had come to Melbourne determined to fall in love with Miss Phillips, whose likeness he had seen and admired at Wiriwilta years ago, and whose face and figure, when seen in reality quite came up to his expectations, while her air and manners were exactly suited to his taste.
He says, if he does not hear news of her in two years' time, he must come to Australia for her himself," said Grace. "There is likely to be another wedding ere long, at Wiriwilta, however," said Brandon. "Emily," said Peggy, "Grace was getting word of it from her sister. She's young yet." "So she is, and so is Edgar; but it is a settled thing. A year's engagement or something of that sort.
There, when he went to America, we had the scarlet fever, and I lost my dear little Eva, and now there is all this trouble. Oh! I wish I had gone up to Wiriwilta I would have done just as well there. But don't tell Mr. Phillips about this; I would rather tell him myself.
"I am quite wearying to see Wiriwilta," said Harriett: "the children's letters are quite rapturous about its beauties, and Miss Melville, too, seems very much pleased. You will like Miss Melville, I am sure. You like Scotch people, I know." "If I do not like Miss Melville better than her sister, my liking will not go very far," said Grant.
"I really think they will get on very comfortably." "How could I ever fancy that woman amiable?" said Brandon. "I thought her really an exceedingly agreeable and clever woman in Derbyshire: when I went out shopping with her on that memorable day, I saw spots on the sun; and the day before yesterday, at Wiriwilta, she appeared to be quite insufferable.
"Oh, the dear old times at Wiriwilta, when we were such friends; and, the time that I cannot recollect of when there was the fire, and Peggy and this old fellow saved our lives. I wish I could remember about it mamma does, though." "Indeed I do," said Mrs. Phillips, with a tranquil expression of satisfaction at the thought of the danger she had escaped.
I have scarcely seen that proved, however, Lily; but Miss Melville saves me two hundred a year that is clear enough, in black and white. It would be false economy to grudge her salary. Besides, Emily would be broken-hearted to part with Alice, so that I will offer to take both sisters with us, if they will come." "We don't need such a housekeeper as Miss Melville at Wiriwilta.
