I don't mind trusting little Essie with him, and he says his brother is sure to give him quite enough to marry upon, so they'll do very well, even, if How about that affair which was hinted of at Belforest, Caroline? Will it ever come off?" "Probably not. Poor Lord Fordham's health does not improve, and so I am very thankful that he does not fulfil Babie's ideal."
There was so much chance of infection that she could not see any of the family again. Both the Johns sickened as soon as Armine began to improve, and Miss Ogilvie took the three girls down to Belforest. After the first few days it was rather a pleasant nursing.
"And I ought to go up for lectures," said Jock, who had been reading hard all this time under directions from Dr. Medlicott. "I might go on before, and see that the house is put in order before you come home, mother." "Home! It sounds more like going home than ever going back to Belforest did!"

"At any rate," said Jock, "we can have our fun at Belforest." "O yes, Jock, only think," cried Babie, "all the dear tadpoles belong to mother!" "And all the dragon-flies," said Armine.
