I say--don't you think she's delightful ?' He lowered his voice as he looked round upon his companion, but his blue eyes shone.
'Mrs.Burgoyne ?'--said Lucy--'Yes, indeed!--She's so--so very kind.' 'Oh! she's a darling, is Eleanor Burgoyne.

And I may call her that, you know, for I'm her cousin, just as Manisty is--only on the other side.

I have been trying to look after her a bit this winter in Rome; she never looks after herself.

And she's not a bit strong .-- You know her history of course ?' He lowered his voice with young importance, speaking almost in a whisper, though the advancing party were still far away.
