CHAPTER VII.
RUPERT AND MARGARET.

Mrs. Lascelles never came down to
breakfast. Her husband was one of
those inordinately early risers who are
up, have breakfasted, and gone abroad,
at hours which ordinary humanity is
tempted to call the middle of the night.
Fortunately, he did not expect the said
ordinary humanity, with its weak
nesses and imperfections, to follow his
great example. Margaret and Damaris
breakfasted alone at half-past eight on
the morning after the arrival of the
former. Then she was to go and see
Rupert in the school-room. She sent
Damaris to play, telling her she did

6 When Margaret had finished her tea,
Mrs. Lascelles sent Damaris upstairs
with her,fo show'her her roomU The
child ran before her with more auima-
ton than she had yet displayed; and
Margaret, feeling by no means weary,
and more disposed to chat than TO take
the rest suggested by Mrs. Lascelles,
kept the little girl with Fer and made
friends with her, or, rather. cemented
the friendship already silently begun.
She remarked on the beauty of her
room and on that of the views from
her two windows, one of which looked
toward the sea and the other northward
toward the hills, and toward another
stone house in hollow.
"Whose house is thatp'' asked Mar
garet
"That-oh, that is Blackford Bank;
Louis lives there"
Margaret did not inquire who "Louis''
was. She sat down and took Damaris
upon her knee and began to tell her
