d been in my thoughts, and I cannot doubt in Milly’s, ever since Mr. Darrell’s arrival. We were in Men Cropped Jeans the drawing-room after breakfast, not quite decided what to do with the day, when Mr. Darrell came into the room dressed for a ride with his wife. He went over to the window by which Milly was standing.
‘You have quite Męskie Vans Fleece Lining Sk8-Hi given up riding, Ellis tells me, my dear,’ he said.
‘I have not cared to ride while you were away, papa, as Mary does not ride.’
‘Miss Crofton might have learnt to ride; there would always be a horse at her disposal.’
‘We like walking better,’ Milly said, blushing a little, and fidgeting nervously with one of the buttons on her father’s coat. ‘I used to feel in the way, you know, when I rode with you and Mrs. Darrell.’
‘That was your own fault, Milly,’ he answered, with a displeased look.
‘I suppose it was. But I think Augusta felt it too. O, by the bye, papa, I did not tell you quite all the news when we were out together yesterday.’
‘Indeed!’
‘No; I forgot to mention that Mr. Egerton has come back.’
‘Angus Egerton?’
‘Yes; he came back last winter.’
‘You never said so in your letters.’
‘Didn’t I? I suppose that was because I knew you were rather prejudiced against him; and one can’t explain away that kind of thing in Adidas Oinals Supershell a letter.’
‘You would find it very difficult to explain away my dislike of Angus Egerton, either Męskie Vans Surf in or out of a letter. Have you seen much of him?’
‘A good deal. He has been at the Rectory very often when Mary and I have been invited there. The Collingwoods Men Backpacks are very fond of him. I am sure — I think — you will like him, Women Single Breasted Coats papa, when you come to see a little of him. He is going to call upon you.’
‘He can come if he pleases,’ Mr. Darrell answered with an indifferent air; ‘I shall not be uncivil to him. But I am rather sorry that he has made such a favourable impression upon you, Milly.’
She was still playing with the buttons of Vans T-Shirts & Vests Men his coat, looking downward, her dark eyes quite veiled by their long lashes.
‘I did not say that, papa,’ she Converse Damskie murmured shyly.
‘But I am sure of it from your manner. Has he done anything towards the improvement of Cumber?’
‘O yes; he has put new roofs to some part of Men Bomber Jackets the stables; and the land is in better order, they say; and the gardens are kept nicely now.’
‘Does he live alone at the Priory?’
‘Quite alone, papa.’
‘He must find it rather a dull business, I should think.’
‘Mr. Collingwood says he is very fond of study, and that he has a wonderful collection of old books. He is a great smoker too, Dame Adidas Sweatshirts I believe; he walks a good deal; and Vans Unisex he hunted all last winter. They say he is a tremendous rider.’
Augusta Darrell came in at this moment, ready for her ride. Her slim willowy figure looked to great advantage in the plain tight-fitting cloth habit; and the little felt hat with its bright scarlet feather gave a coquettish expression to her face. She tapped her husband lightly on the Men Skinny Jeans arm with her riding-wlinks:
