are of a different colour. I remembered this as I looked at Mrs. Darrell.
She was dressed in white; and I fancied the transparent muslin, with no Norja other ornament than a lilac ribbon at the waist, was peculiarly becoming to her slender figure and delicate face. Her husband seemed to think so too, for he looked at her with a fond admiring glance as he offered her his arm to return to the house.
‘I mustn’t forget to introduce Miss Crofton to you, Augusta,’ he said; ‘a school friend of Milly’s, who has kindly accepted my invitation to Norway Pelipaidat spend the holidays with her.’
Mrs. Darrell gave me her hand; but I fancied that she did so rather coldly, and I had an uneasy sense that I was not very welcome to the new mistress of Thornleigh.
‘You will find your old rooms all ready for you, Milly,’ she said; ‘I suppose we had better put Miss Buty Off-White Crofton in the blue room — next yours?’
‘If you please, Mrs. Darrell.’
‘What, Milly, won’t you call me mamma?’
Milly was silent for a few moments, with a pained expression in her face.
‘Pray, forgive me,’ she said in a low voice; ‘I cannot call any one by that name.’
Augusta Darrell kissed her again silently.
‘It shall be as you wish, dear,’ she said, after a pause.
A rosy-cheeked, pleasant-looking girl, who had been accustomed to wait on Milly in the old time, came forward to meet us, and ran before us to our rooms, expressing her delight at her young lady’s return all the way she went.
The rooms were very pretty, and were situated in that portion of the house which looked towards the sea. There was a sitting-room, brightly furnished with some Ilkay Gundogan Pelipaidat light kind of wood, and with chintz hangings all over rose-buds and butterflies. This had been Milly’s schoolroom, and there was a good many books in two pretty-looking bookcases on each Saksa Pelipaidat side of the Aston Villa Trøjer fireplace. Besides these, there were some curious old cabinets full of shells and china. It was altogether the prettiest, most homelike room one could imagine.
Opening out of this, there was a large airy bedroom, with three windows commanding that glorious view of moorland and sea; and beyond that, a dainty little Chelsea Børn Fodboldtrøjer dressing-room. The next door in the corridor opened into the room that had been allotted to me; a large comfortable-looking room, in which there was PJS Miehet Windbreaker Desert an old-fashioned mahogany four-post bed with blue-damask curtains.
I went to Milly’s dressing-room when my own simple toilet was finished, and Club De Futbol America stood by the open window talking to her while she arranged her hair. She dismissed New York City her little maid directly I went into the room, and I felt she had something to say to me.
‘Well, Mary,’ she began at once, ‘what do you think of her?’
‘Of Mrs. Darrell?’
‘Of course.’
‘What opinion can I possibly form about her, after seeing her for three minutes, Milly? Argentina Børn Fodboldtrøjer I think she is very elegant-looking. That is the only idea I have about her yet.’
‘Do you think she looks true, Mary? Do you PJS Miehet Californian New Port think she has married papa because she loves him?’
