They exercise their children whilest thei be boies, to throw the darte at a sette marke, and he that hitteth not the marke receiueth no meate. By the whiche maner of trainyng, hongre so worketh in the boies that thei become excellente darters.

Lord Coombe met her in the street one evening at twilight and he stopped to speak to her. "I have just come from Darte Norham," he said to her. "The Duchess asked me to see you personally and make sure that you do not miss Dowie too much that you are not lonely." "I am very busy and am very well taken care of," was her answer. "The servants are very attentive and kind.

Some days before this the Duchess of Darte had driven out in the morning to make some purchases and as she had sat in her large landau she had greatly missed Miss Brent who had always gone with her when she had made necessary visits to the shops. She was not fond of shopping and Miss Brent had privately found pleasure in it which had made her a cheerful companion.

Mademoiselle Valle," turning his head, "perhaps you will tell her what you know of the Duchess of Darte?" Upon which, Mademoiselle Valle took hold of her hand and entered into a careful explanation. "She is a great personage of whom there can be no doubt. She was a lady of the Court. She is of advanced years and an invalid and has a liking for those who are pretty and young.

Sometimes their little faces were awful to behold, but sometimes they wore a strained look of exaltation. The Dowager Duchess of Darte was often absent from Eaton Square. She was understood to be proving herself much stronger than her friends had supposed her to be. She proved it by doing an extraordinary amount of work.

Robin wrote letters and copied various documents for the Duchess, she went shopping with her and executed commissions to order. She was allowed to enter into correspondence with the village schoolmistress and the wife of the Vicar at Darte Norham and to buy prizes for notable decorum and scholarship in the school, and baby linen and blankets for the Maternity Bag and other benevolences.

"I like it," he answered. "Of course. I ought to have remembered that you helped her to an Early Victorian duchess. She's one without a flaw the Dowager Duchess of Darte. The most conscientiously careful mother couldn't object. It's almost like entering into the kingdom of heaven in a dull way." She began to laugh again as if amusing images rose suddenly before her.
