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 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 spend the holidays with her.’
Mrs. Darrell gave me her hand; but I fancied that she did so rather coldly,Jaden Schwartz Tröjor, 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,NHL Mens Edmonton Oilers Black Camo Stack Pullover Hoodie, Milly,’ she said; ‘I suppose we had better put Miss Crofton in the blue room — next yours?’
‘If you please,Marcus Foligno Tröjor, Mrs. Darrell.’
‘What,Menn Moncler Acorus, 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,Moncler Menn Jakker, dear,’ she said, after a pause.
A rosy-cheeked, pleasant-looking girl,Matt Murray Tröjor, who had been accustomed to wait on Milly in the old time, came forward to meet us,Nick Bjugstad Tröjor, 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,CG Dame Constable Parka, and were situated in that portion of the house which looked towards the sea. There was a sitting-room, brightly furnished with some light kind of wood,Gerry Cheevers Tröjor, 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 side of the fireplace. Besides these, there were some curious old cabinets full of shells and china. It was altogether the prettiest,Mark Letestu Tröjor, 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 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 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 stood by the open window talking to her while she arranged her hair. She dismissed 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,NHL Mens Detroit Red Wings Black Rink Warrior Pullover Hoodie, ‘what do you think of her?’
‘Of Mrs. Darrell?’
‘Of course.’
‘What opinion can I possibly form about her,Mikael Backlund Tröjor, after seeing her for three minutes, Milly? I think she is very elegant-looking. That is the only idea I have about her yet.’
