And then, looking at him again, she sees it is the young man who had nearly ridden over her some time ago, and tells herself she has been just a little rude to his Grace the Duke of Lauderdale. He has stooped very much over indeed. His hand is on the fern; he has safely carefully extracted it, roots and all (one would think I was speaking of a tooth! but this is by the way), from its native home, when cr-r-k goes something; the branch on which he rests betrays him, and smashing hurls him head downwards into the swift but shallow stream below.

"Well as I was saying, in spite of their tails, they really are quite pretty." Friday is fine, and towards nightfall grows still milder, until it seems that even in the dawn of October a summer's night may be born. "Oh, Mona, do go—do," entreats Doatie, who is in tears.
