Falkirk entered into explanations with the miller; while Rollo, after a brief word of leave-asking, proceeded to arrange a pile of grain bags so as to form an extempore divan. Harder might be; and over it he spread the gentlemen's linen dusters and all the travelling shawls of the party; and upon it then softly placed Wych Hazel.
All the while, Wych Hazel was watching for something else; and Prudentia, was she keeping the best for the last? She was extremely affable; she enjoyed her tea; she took off her bonnet and displayed the pale bandeaux of hair which were inevitably associated in Miss Kennedy's mind with one particular day and conversation; she admired the furniture; she discoursed on the advantages of city life.

'Your father's will, my dear; your father's and mother's I should say, for she added her signature and confirmation. And I'm sure that was one remarkable thing. It is so uncertain how boys will grow up. 'And the romance? said Wych Hazel. 'Will you tell me what version of it you have heard? 'Why, my dear, you know Dane is your guardian, don't you?
He knew Wych Hazel; he could guess at the bound of revulsion her spirit would make at several points in the narrative that had been told her. He knew Prudentia; he could fancy that the details lost nothing in the giving. But the steadiness, not of feeling, but of nerves and judgment, which was characteristic of him, kept his eyesight clear even now.
'How will his ruin affect the poor mill people? said Wych Hazel, so seriously, that perhaps only Mr. Falkirk knowing her knew what she was about.

Miss Kennedy was not at home. Not at home in the honest sense of the words. Mr. Rollo asked for Mrs. Bywank, and marched straight to the housekeeper's room. And Mrs. Bywank's greeting made him feel that, for some reason, he had come at the right time.

She was taken off from picking up nails, and dismissed into the library; while Rollo himself set diligently about gathering together his boards and rubbish. Primrose came in smiling.
'Or if she had accidentally escaped with the wrong person, said Captain Lancaster, who would have rather preferred to be in Mr. Nightingale's position himself. 'No, said one of the ladies, 'she is not afraid, what is she? 'She is Wych Hazel, said Mr. Kingsland. 'Do you see what a breath came then? Not complimentary to Nightingale but he can find somebody else to turn his head.
