. How was it you didn’t go abroad with Mr. and Mrs,Guy Lafleur Tröjor. Darrell,Team USA Tröjor?’
‘Ah, that is rather strange, isn’t it? The truth of the matter is,James van Riemsdyk Tröjor, that Augusta did not want me to go with them. She does not like me, Mary, that is the real truth, through she affects to be very fond of me, and has contrived to make my father think she is so. What is there that she cannot make him think? She does not like me; and she is never quite happy or at her ease when I am with her. She had been growing tired of Thornleigh for some time when the winter began; and she looked so pale and ill, that my father got anxious about her. The doctor here treated her in the usual stereotyped way, and made very light of her ailments, but recommended change of air and scene. Papa proposed going to Scarborough; but somehow or other Augusta contrived to change Scarborough into Paris, and they are to spend the winter and spring there, and perhaps go on to Germany in the summer. At first papa was very anxious to take me with them; but Augusta dropped some little hints — it would interrupt my studies, and unsettle me, and so on. You know I am rather proud,Olli Maatta Tröjor, Mary, so you can imagine I was not slow to understand her. I said I would much prefer to stay at Thornleigh, and proposed immediately that you should come to me and be my companion, and help me on with my studies.’
‘My dearest, how good of you to wish that!’
‘It was not at all good. I think you are the only person in the world who really cares for me,Ron Duguay Tröjor, now that I have lost papa — for I have lost him, you see, Mary; that becomes more obvious every day. Well, dear, I had a hard battle to fight. Mrs. Darrell said you were absurdly young for such a position,Tommy Wingels Tröjor, and that I required a matronly person,Colton Parayko Tröjor, able to direct and protect me, and take the management of the house in her absence, and so on; but I said that I wanted neither direction nor protection; that the house wanted no other management than that of Mrs. Bunce the housekeeper,Al Montoya Tröjor, who has managed it ever since I was a baby; and that if I could not have Mary Crofton, I would have no one at all. I told papa what an indefatigable darling you were, and how conscientiously you would perform anything you promised to do. So, after a good deal of discussion, the matter was settled; and here we are,CG Menn Banff Parka, with the house all to ourselves, and the prospect of being alone together for six months to come.’
I asked her if she had seen much of Mr. Stormont since that memorable Sunday afternoon.
‘He has been here twice,’ she said, ‘for his usual short visit from Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,Steve Yzerman Tröjor, and he has treated me just as if that uncomfortable interview had never taken place.’
We were very happy together in the great lonely house,Canada Goose Lodge Down Hoody Jackor, amongst old servants,Team Czech Republic Tröjor, who seemed to take a pleasure in waiting on us. We spent our mornings and evenings in Milly’s sitting-room, and took our meals in a snug prettily-furnished breakfast-room on the ground-floor. We read together a great deal, going through a systematic course of study of a very different kin
