All the servants have received orders to go to bed, and on no account to sit up for Mr. Rodney, as he can let himself in in his own way,—a habit of his for many years. Doubtless, then, one of them had placed this lamp in the library with some refreshments for him, should he require them. "What else did they say, Nolly?" asks Dorothy, in a wheedling tone.

At this she glances with scorn upon the quakerish and somewhat quaint gray gown in which she is clothed, and in which she is looking far sweeter than she knows, for in her face lie "love enshrined and sweet attractive grace." So determined is her aspect that Geoffrey shows the white feather, and, crying "mea culpa," beats a hasty retreat. She withers Sir Nicholas with a parting glance, and then quits the room, Violet in her train, leaving her eldest son entirely puzzled. "Go on, Noll," exclaims Dorothy, in her most encouraging tone. "Let Violet hear it. She will understand it.".
