Halcyone

CHAPTER XV
5/7

Let us get Mr.Derringham to manage it!" And Halcyone cried a glad "Oh, yes!" "What a darling! What a perfect darling!" Miss Lutworth said enthusiastically, taking Arabella's arm as they struck rapidly inward and up a knoll.

"Did you ever see anything look so like a lady in that impossible old dress?
Tell us about her, Mr.Derringham.Does she live with those prehistoric ladies all alone in that haunted house?
Could anything be so mysterious and romantic?
Please tell us all you know." "Yes, she does, I believe," John Derringham said.

"My old master tells me she never sees or speaks to anyone from one year's end to another.

I have only met her very rarely myself." "Does it not seem too awful ?" returned Cora, aghast, thinking of her own merry, enjoyable life, with every whim gratified.

"To be so young and attractive and actually buried alive! Don't you think she is a dream, Arabella ?" "I was greatly impressed with her distinction and charm," Miss Clinker said.
