our pa; it’s a younger gentleman.’
She handed Milly a card.
‘Mr. Stormont!’ the girl exclaimed, with a disappointed air; ‘my cousin Julian. I am coming to him, of course, Sarah. But I wish you had given me the card at once.’
‘Won’t you go and do somethink to your hair, miss? most young ladies do.’
‘O yes, I know; there are girls who would stop to have River Plate Trikot their hair done in Grecian plaits, if the dearest friend they had in the world was waiting for them in the drawing-room. My hair will do well enough, Sarah. — Come, Mary, you’ll come to the Australien Trikot house with me, won’t you?’
‘Lor’, miss, here comes the gentleman,’ said Sarah; and then decamped by an obscure side-path.
‘I had better leave you to see him alone, Milly,’ I said; but she told me imperatively to stay, and I stayed.
She went a little Sao Paulo Trikot way to meet the gentleman, who seemed pleased to West Ham United Trikot see her, but Club De Futbol America Trikot whom she received rather coldly, as I thought. But I had not long to think about it, before she had brought him to the summer-house, and introduced him to me.

The upper part of the face was thoughtful, and there were lines already on the high white forehead, from which the thin straight chestnut hair was carefully brushed. It was the face of a very clever man, I thought; but Griechenland Trikot I was Wales Koszulka not so sure that it was the face of a man I could like, or whom I should be inclined to trust.

His way of treating his cousin was half deferential, half playful; but once, when I looked up suddenly from my work, I seemed to catch a glimpse of a deeper meaning in the cold blue eyes — a look of singular intensity fixed on Milly’s bright face.
Whatever this look might mean, she was unconscious of it; she went on talking gaily of Arsenal Trikot Thornleigh and her Thornleigh friends.
‘I do so want to come home, Julian,’ she said. ‘Do you think there is any hope for me this midsummer?’
‘I think there is every hope. I think it is almost certain you will come home.’
‘O Julian, how glad I am!’
‘But suppose there should be a Spielertrikots surprise for you when you come home, Milly — a change that you may not quite like, at first?’
‘What change?’
‘Has your father told you nothing?’
