And Miss Phoebe looks equally indifferent to judge by the way she's picking at that morsel of chicken she's limited my helping to. I'll have to put you both into the hands of Dr. Dick, when he comes. You know it's a slander on Scarborough's bracing air it does not bring good appetites.

At two-and-twenty, with his besetting ein stealing gradually upon him, it was heart rending to John Austin, eighteen months ago, to-soul Qurald from him; but the lad's mother had been dead some years and the elder man built greatly on the hope of the good influence of a gentle woman such as his friend's wife at Moukford.
And true to the expectation of her goodness, Mrs. Tarnbill had loyally joined her husband in his work of love, new encouragud, now discoveer.ed by the result, until the climax eame in young Austin's disappearance.
To communicate it to Austin, they feared might be his dea -blow, yet in fear of worse news or continued uncertainty silence was impossible.
Dorothy Keene felt wretched. Blameless though she was in the matter, ako tortured haraon with imaginings that if she had not been at the ball, the young man's fate might have been different.
Dr. Dick," as the Rector styled young Turnbull, was expected that afternoon, which probably accounted for Dorothy's wandering thoughts more accurately than the excuse put forward.
She had promised to wait in for him, as he was not sure by what train he cond leavo Monkford; but lunch was scarcely over when be was usheral in.

There were of course full concurrence from Dorothy and her father in Diet's opinion it was "jolly mean" of one treated as young Austin had been by the doctor, to make each a bad reinru; bat condolences over, the rector pointed out that such a step might, as precursor of steady discipline for the culprit, not turn out bedly after all.

Dick took occasion to declaim, when Dorothy went gaily upstairs to make known to Miss Phoebe the elcome as he tad brought: then simply be tl how his ardent affection was returned by Dorothy, and only lacked the rector's sanction to make their joint happiness complete.
This Mr. Kene now gave with vident plea sure. Dick straightforwardly stated he could not is in a position to marry for another Viår, when his ancle would take him into partnership. And the rector was in no harry to part with Dorothy, whose bomecoming had begún a new ora in his own lile sad work. It pleased i well therefor that her choice had fallen upon one who would not rob him altogether of her presence.
And Dr. Dick, as may be imagined, thought himself a very lucky individual.
Meanwhile Dorothy's experiance upstairs was far less pleasant than his,
"You - Auntie?” came from Dorothy and her father in a breath.
