CHAPTER XI.
On Chester's return to London, he found the following note from Lucy: "We're all coming--father and Uncle Gilbert and I.What do you think of that?
Father is well enough to travel, and he has prevailed upon his brother to accompany us.

In fact, I think that Uncle imagines we are two invalids and need his care--I'm glad he does.

I'm so busy packing, I haven't time to write more.

Will tell you all about it when I see you.
Meet us at St.Pancras station Thursday, at 6 p.m.
"With love from "LUCY." Elder Malby accompanied Chester to the station to meet his friends from Ireland.

The two brothers were fairly well acquainted with London, so they had no trouble in finding a hotel in a quiet part of the city.
Lucy's father seemed himself again.
