And as for the flowers Milly gathered for her mother, they were a sight to see--moon-daisies and meadow-sweet, wild roses and ragged-robins, and bright bits of rhododendrons.

For both the woods and the garden at Ravensnest were full of rhododendrons of all colours, pink and red, and white and flame colour; and Milly and Olly amused themselves with making up bunches of different coloured flowers with as many different colours in them as they could find.

There were no rhododendrons at Willingham; and the children thought them the loveliest, gayest things they had ever seen.
But at last twelve o'clock came.

Nurse tidied the children, gave them some biscuits and milk, and then sent them to the drawing-room to find father and mother.

Only Mrs.Norton was there, but she said there was no need to wait for father, as he was out already and would meet them on the way.
