then Messy undertook to take me to
my room.
It's the same room still, Mary"
said my aunt, calling to me as l went
upstairs when they were changing
everything else I remembered your
poor dear mother and wouldn't hear
of their changing that 1t isn't a bit
altered"
1t was not Everything was exactly
as | remembered 1t. But just as I
was beginning for the first time in my
life to feel grateful to Aunt Bridget,
Messy said:
NO thanks to her, though. If
she'd had her way, she would have
wiped out every trace of your mother,
and arranged this marriage for her
own daughter instead"
More of the same kind she said
which left me with the impression
that my father was now the god of
her idolatry, and that my return was
not too welcome to my aunt and
cousin: but as soon as she was gone,
and 1 was left alone, home began to
speak 10 me in soft and enhancing
whispers.
How my pulses beat, how my nerves
tingled! Home! Home! Home!
A Dear spot.
From that dear spot everything
seemed to be the same, and every
thing had something to say to me.
What sweet and tender and touching
memories!
Here was the big black four post
bed, with the rosary hanging at Its
head; and here was the praying stool
with the figure of Our Lady on the
wall above II.
l threw up the window, and there
was the salt breath Of the sea in the
crisp island air; there was the sea
itself glistening in the afternoon sun
shine; there was st. Mary's Rock
draped in it's garment of sea-weed,
and there were the clouds of white
sea- gulls whirling about 1t.
Taking off my hat and coat,
stepned downstairs and out of the
| house-going first into the farm yard
where the springless carts were still
Gathering over the cobble stones;
then into the cowhouse, where the
milkmaids were still sitting on low
stools with their heads against the
sides of the slow-eyed Brownies, and
the milk rafting in their noisy pals;
then into the farm kitchen, where the
air was full OF the odor Of burning
turf and the still sweeter smell of
cakes baking on a griddle; and finally
into the potting shed in the garden,
where Tommy the Mate (more than
ever like weather beaten old salD
was still working as before.
The old man looked round with his
"starboard eye" and recognized me
instantly.

Happily there was no necessity to
reply, for my father came to say that
he wished to show his lordship the
improvements he had been making,
and the rest of us were at liberty to
follow them
The improvements consisted chiefly
of new wing to the old house, con-
tanning a dining room still unfur-
nished, which had been modelled, as
found later, on the corresponding
room in Castle RaA.
With a proud lift Of his white head
my father pointed out the beauties of
his new possession, while my intend
ed husband, with his monocle to his
eyer looked on with certain con-
descension, and answered with a Ian
guild humor that narrowly bordered
on contempt.

all about her late husband, the Colo
