He
had
made
up
his
mind
to
waste
no
time
in
arranging
this
matter
.
He
had
begun
to
think
it
would
suit
him
to
make
friends
with
his
heir
’
s
mother
.
“
Are
you
quite
sure
you
want
me
?
”
said
Mrs
.
Errol
,
with
her
soft
,
pretty
smile
.
“
Quite
sure
,
”
he
said
bluntly
.
“
We
have
always
wanted
you
,
but
we
were
not
exactly
aware
of
it
.
We
hope
you
will
come
.
”
Ben
took
his
boy
and
went
back
to
his
cattle
ranch
in
California
,
and
he
returned
under
very
comfortable
circumstances
.
Just
before
his
going
,
Mr
.
Havisham
had
an
interview
with
him
in
which
the
lawyer
told
him
that
the
Earl
of
Dorincourt
wished
to
do
something
for
the
boy
who
might
have
turned
out
to
be
Lord
Fauntleroy
,
and
so
he
had
decided
that
it
would
be
a
good
plan
to
invest
in
a
cattle
ranch
of
his
own
,
and
put
Ben
in
charge
of
it
on
terms
which
would
make
it
pay
him
very
well
,
and
which
would
lay
a
foundation
for
his
son
’
s
future
.
And
so
when
Ben
went
away
,
he
went
as
the
prospective
master
of
a
ranch
which
would
be
almost
as
good
as
his
own
,
and
might
easily
become
his
own
in
time
,
as
indeed
it
did
in
the
course
of
a
few
years
;
and
Tom
,
the
boy
,
grew
up
on
it
into
a
fine
young
man
and
was
devotedly
fond
of
his
father
;
and
they
were
so
successful
and
happy
that
Ben
used
to
say
that
Tom
made
up
to
him
for
all
the
troubles
he
had
ever
had
.
But
Dick
and
Mr
.
Hobbs
—
who
had
actually
come
over
with
the
others
to
see
that
things
were
properly
looked
after
—
did
not
return
for
some
time
.
It
had
been
decided
at
the
outset
that
the
Earl
would
provide
for
Dick
,
and
would
see
that
he
received
a
solid
education
;
and
Mr
.
Hobbs
had
decided
that
as
he
himself
had
left
a
reliable
substitute
in
charge
of
his
store
,
he
could
afford
to
wait
to
see
the
festivities
which
were
to
celebrate
Lord
Fauntleroy
’
s
eighth
birthday
.
All
the
tenantry
were
invited
,
and
there
were
to
be
feasting
and
dancing
and
games
in
the
park
,
and
bonfires
and
fire
-
works
in
the
evening
.
“
Just
like
the
Fourth
of
July
!
”
said
Lord
Fauntleroy
.
“
It
seems
a
pity
my
birthday
wasn
’
t
on
the
Fourth
,
doesn
’
t
it
?
For
then
we
could
keep
them
both
together
.
”
It
must
be
confessed
that
at
first
the
Earl
and
Mr
.
Hobbs
were
not
as
intimate
as
it
might
have
been
hoped
they
would
become
,
in
the
interests
of
the
British
aristocracy
.
The
fact
was
that
the
Earl
had
known
very
few
grocery
-
men
,
and
Mr
.
Hobbs
had
not
had
many
very
close
acquaintances
who
were
earls
;
and
so
in
their
rare
interviews
conversation
did
not
flourish
.
It
must
also
be
owned
that
Mr
.
Hobbs
had
been
rather
overwhelmed
by
the
splendors
Fauntleroy
felt
it
his
duty
to
show
him
.
The
entrance
gate
and
the
stone
lions
and
the
avenue
impressed
Mr
.
Hobbs
somewhat
at
the
beginning
,
and
when
he
saw
the
Castle
,
and
the
flower
-
gardens
,
and
the
hot
-
houses
,
and
the
terraces
,
and
the
peacocks
,
and
the
dungeon
,
and
the
armor
,
and
the
great
staircase
,
and
the
stables
,
and
the
liveried
servants
,
he
really
was
quite
bewildered
.
But
it
was
the
picture
gallery
which
seemed
to
be
the
finishing
stroke
.
“
Somethin
’
in
the
manner
of
a
museum
?
”
he
said
to
Fauntleroy
,
when
he
was
led
into
the
great
,
beautiful
room
.
