Geoff and I aren't set in our ways, and are glad enough to be let off duty for a week.

The hut is yours just as long as you will stay; do just what you like with it.

Though we're pretty good housekeepers too, considering; don't you think so ?" "Do you believe he meant it ?" asked Clover, confidentially afterward of Mrs.Hope.

"Do you think they really wouldn't mind being tidied up a little?
I should so like to give that room a good dusting, if it wouldn't vex them." "My dear, they will probably never know the difference except by a vague sense of improved comfort.

Men are dreadfully untidy, as a general thing, when left to themselves; but they like very well to have other people make things neat." "Mr.Templestowe told Phil that they go off early in the morning and don't come back till breakfast at half-past seven; so if I wake early enough I shall try to do a little setting to rights before they come in." "And I'll come and help if I don't over-sleep," declared Mrs.Hope; "but this air makes me feel dreadfully as if I should." "I sha'n't call you," said Clover; "but it will be nice to have you, if you come." She stood at her window after Mrs.Hope had gone, for a last look at the peak which glittered sharply in the light of the moon.
