But Miss Wych is the lovingest little creature that ever lived, I believe, and as true as the sky. Why, she could cheat Mr. Falkirk day in and day out if she chose! but if ever those young men should get her to ride, against his orders, she would go and tell him of it, the first minute after she got home.

'Then suppose I go and tell Mrs. Saddler about my room? 'Go along, said Mr. Falkirk. 'Give your orders. You had better send up to the house for some furniture. You'll make Mrs. Saddler happy at any rate. I am not so sure about Gotham.
The desire to win your favour, and therefore the effort to please, are undoubted. 'Mr. Falkirk, you must be the assayer! Suppose you tell me now about all these people here, to begin with. I have not seen much that reminded me of magic yet, she said with a curl of her lips. 'What people? said Mr. Falkirk, hastily. 'What people? Oh, I forgot you were not at Mme. Lasalle's to- day.

But don't cut too much, when you cut here; nor let Mr. Falkirk. 'He shall not cut a branch, and I love the thickets too well to meddle with them. Unless they actually come in my face.
Falkirk's breakfast was at an end before the factotum unburdened his mind. 'Beg pardon, sir, he said, drawing himself up behind his master; 'but 'ow are your h'orders concerning Miss 'Azel to be h'understood, sir? 'Orders? said Mr. Falkirk. 'You distinctly said and h'indicated, sir, that I was to drive Mis 'Azel to and from, sir, if my mind serves me, said Gotham.
The air was full of it at last, to Wych Hazel's fancy; even the gentlemen, when they dared not speak openly, seemed in manner or tone to be commiserating or laughing at her.
