Well, Mr. Herrick, is
that likely to suit Miss Sheldon?"
"I am afraid not," he returned regretfully, for he was really quite
touched at this thoughtfulness on her part. And how Anna would have
loved it! "They will be at Whitby by that time. But I will tell her
of your kind thought for her." And then, as it was getting late, for
they had lingered pleasantly over the meal, he went off to make his
preparations, and half an hour afterwards the dog-cart was brought
to the door.
"Good-bye, we shall miss you so much," observed Dinah almost
affectionately; "but we shall see plenty of you when you are at the
Crow's Nest."
"I hope so. Thank you, dear Miss Templeton, for all your kind
hospitality," and then it was Elizabeth's turn.
"Adieu--au revoir, Mr. Herrick," but she pressed his hand very
kindly as she spoke, and her eyes had a friendly beam in them.
"Au revoir, and thanks to you too," returned Malcolm; but the smile
on his face was a little forced.
As the dog-cart turned the corner he looked back. The sisters were
still standing side by side. Elizabeth waved her hand.
