It only bewilders a
fellow."
"Quite right, Hal," said his brother. "Only don't do anything foolish."
"I won't do anything she doesn't like."
"No, nor anything you won't like yourself afterwards," I ventured to say.
"I hope not," returned he, gravely, as he walked out, too much absorbed to
bid either of us _good morning_.
It was now more than time that I should return to town; but I could not
leave affairs in this unsatisfactory state. I therefore lingered on to see
what would come next.
CHAPTER IX.
GENERALSHIP.
The next day Harry called again.
"Master 'aint countermanded the order, Doctor. He 'aint at home--not a bit
of it. He 'aint been out of the house since that night."
"Well, is Miss Cathcart at home?"
"She's said nothing to the contrairy, sir. I believe she _is_ at home. I
know she's out in the garding--on the terridge."
And old Beeves held the door wide open, as if to say--"Don't stop to ask
any questions, but step into the garden." Which Harry did.
There was a high gravel terrace along one end of it, always dry and sunny
when there was any sun going; and there she was, over-looked by the
windows of her papa's room.
