Doatie and her brother—who had returned to their own home during March and April—have now come back again to Lady Rodney, who is ever anxious to welcome these two with open arms.

In this thought both she and her betrothed are perfectly happy.,"What lovely creatures!" says Geoffrey, who has a passion for animals: they seem to acknowledge him as a friend.

When her steps had brought her abreast of "The Swan," she saw two men standing in conversation in the doorway of that old hostelry. They both bowed low to her, but it might have been noticed that after she had saluted them in return, the fine natural glow of her cheeks slightly deepened and her step appreciably quickened.

"We'll find him waitin' fer us farther on.",This said, they all went over the side, the Admiral taking great care of Miss Acton as she crossed the planks. Mr Lawrence remained in the gangway.
