"I told you I would give you a cow," said he, "and here she is." "What can she want with a cow ?" said Mr.Amedroz.
"I am sure she wants one very much.

At any rate she won't refuse the present from me; will you, Clara ?" What could she say?
"Not if papa will allow me to keep it." "But we've no place to put it!" said the squire.

"We haven't got grass for it!" "There's plenty of grass," said Belton.

"Come, Mr.Amedroz; I've made a point of getting this little creature for Clara, and you mustn't stand in the way of my gratification." Of course he was successful, and of course Clara thanked him with tears in her eyes.
The next two days passed by without anything special to mark them, and then the cousin was to go.

During the period of his visit he did not see Colonel Askerton, nor did he again see Mrs.Askerton.
