'I might question here, said Rollo in an amused tone, and eyeing her inquisitively; 'but I have done it so often, I leave the ground to you. What next? 'What next' seemed to have flown away. 'Does Collingwood engross all the thoughts that go back to Chickaree? A sidelong glance of the brown eyes was all that Mr. Rollo got by that venture. How is Trüdchen? she asked gravely. 'Flourishing.
You do not mean that my little pussy is here? 'You shall have her to-morrow. Morning has come, and the Queen of Chickaree must return to hold her court. Little guesses the Queen what a court is gathering for her. While she is quietly eating her breakfast at Dr. Maryland's, Mme. Lasalle is ordering her horses, to make a call upon her in the course of the morning, and Mr.
No, you don't chickaree chickaree. They were wholly deaf to my arguments, or failed to perceive their force, and fell into a strain of invective that was irresistible. The first sparrow of spring! The year beginning with younger hope than ever!
'I have been longing to see you at home, my dear, said Mme. Lasalle. 'All in good time; but I always am impatient for what I want. And then we have all wanted you; the places of social comfort in the neighbourhood are so few that we cannot afford to have Chickaree shut up. This beautiful old house! I am so delighted to be in it again. But I hope you have met with no accident this morning?
'And these are the Chickaree woods? said Dr. Maryland, as they walked on. 'How beautiful they are! Are you very happy, Hazel, in the hope of being the mistress of all this?

Eager for more tidings, sure that her eagerness must not appear, she held her breath for one minute then rose up cool and quiet, the young mistress of Chickaree. 'Yes, she said, answering Phinny's half spoken words, 'it is Mr. Rollo. And of course he has had no luncheon. 'There are croquettes, Mr. Rollo, she said, 'and Dingee will bring you cold beef. And with what may I fill your cup?
But she laughed at that, and went off out of the room. When she came down to the side entrance of Chickaree some hour or two later, she found her side-saddle going on an Arab- looking brown mare, and Rollo playing hostler.
Falkirk had his breakfast alone, watched over by Mrs. Bywank. 'Miss Wych had a headache, which was extremely likely, as she had cried all night. But after that the world of Chickaree went on as usual, to all outward appearance. Some weeks had passed over since the ride to Morton Hollow, when one afternoon Rollo's bay again walked up to the side entrance of the Chickaree house.
For a few minutes his restless animal moved in all sorts of eccentric ways; but where most men would have been a little awkward and many very miserable, his rider was simply unconcerned and seemed to be taking his pleasure. To see such a rider is to be filled with a great sense of harmony. What a ride they had then, when the hill was descended and the gates of Chickaree left behind!
He deposited the little lady of Chickaree at her own door with no more words than a 'good- night; and went the rest of his way in the fog alone.
