She

extended

her

hand

again

.

But

the

young

man

caught

her

to

his

bosom

;

and

imprinting

one

kiss

on

her

beautiful

forehead

,

hurried

from

the

room

.

'

And

so

you

are

resolved

to

be

my

travelling

companion

this

morning

;

eh

?

'

said

the

doctor

,

as

Harry

Maylie

joined

him

and

Oliver

at

the

breakfast-table

.

'

Why

,

you

are

not

in

the

same

mind

or

intention

two

half-hours

together

!

'

'

You

will

tell

me

a

different

tale

one

of

these

days

,

'

said

Harry

,

colouring

without

any

perceptible

reason

'

I

hope

I

may

have

good

cause

to

do

so

,

'

replied

Mr.

Losberne

;

'

though

I

confess

I

do

n't

think

I

shall

.

But

yesterday

morning

you

had

made

up

your

mind

,

in

a

great

hurry

,

to

stay

here

,

and

to

accompany

your

mother

,

like

a

dutiful

son

,

to

the

sea-side

.

Before

noon

,

you

announce

that

you

are

going

to

do

me

the

honour

of

accompanying

me

as

far

as

I

go

,

on

your

road

to

London

.

And

at

night

,

you

urge

me

,

with

great

mystery

,

to

start

before

the

ladies

are

stirring

;

the

consequence

of

which

is

,

that

young

Oliver

here

is

pinned

down

to

his

breakfast

when

he

ought

to

be

ranging

the

meadows

after

botanical

phenomena

of

all

kinds

.

Too

bad

,

is

n't

it

,

Oliver

?

'

'

I

should

have

been

very

sorry

not

to

have

been

at

home

when

you

and

Mr.

Maylie

went

away

,

sir

,

'

rejoined

Oliver

.

'

That

's

a

fine

fellow

,

'

said

the

doctor

;

'

you

shall

come

and

see

me

when

you

return

.

But

,

to

speak

seriously

,

Harry

;

has

any

communication

from

the

great

nobs

produced

this

sudden

anxiety

on

your

part

to

be

gone

?

The

great

nobs

,

'

replied

Harry

,

'

under

which

designation

,

I

presume

,

you

include

my

most

stately

uncle

,

have

not

communicated

with

me

at

all

,

since

I

have

been

here

;

nor

,

at

this

time

of

the

year

,

is

it

likely

that

anything

would

occur

to

render

necessary

my

immediate

attendance

among

them

.

'

'

Well

,

'

said

the

doctor

,

'

you

are

a

queer

fellow

.

But

of

course

they

will

get

you

into

parliament

at

the

election

before

Christmas

,

and

these

sudden

shiftings

and

changes

are

no

bad

preparation

for

political

life

.

There

's

something

in

that

.

Good

training

is

always

desirable

,

whether

the

race

be

for

place

,

cup

,

or

sweepstakes

.

'

Harry

Maylie

looked

as

if

he

could

have

followed

up

this

short

dialogue

by

one

or

two

remarks

that

would

have

staggered

the

doctor

not

a

little

;

but

he

contented

himself

with

saying

,

'

We

shall

see

,

'

and

pursued

the

subject

no

farther

.

The

post-chaise

drove

up

to

the

door

shortly

afterwards

;

and

Giles

coming

in

for

the

luggage

,

the

good

doctor

bustled

out

,

to

see

it

packed

.
