"Oh, I say, you know!" expostulated Dick, in a deeply aggrieved tone. "I

say, Nell, do you hear that? Mr. Vernon's going!"

"Miss Nell knows that I have been 'going' for some days past, only that

and we ordered the boat for half-past four, you know," he added, in a

matter-of-fact way.

She rose and ran out of the room for her jacket and tam-o'-shanter, and

they went out, leaving Mrs. Lorton and Dick still gloating over their

presents.
