CHAPTER XIX.
TREVELYAN HALL--THE ARRIVAL.
The fine old building, well known to the surrounding country as Trevelyan Hall, was indeed a true specimen of an English home.

Its present owner had, notwithstanding the fact of his being abroad in service, spent much means to make it a home-like and delightful residence.

Its situation added to the other resources in gaining for "The Hall" a wide-spread reputation.
The extensive park contained some of the best wooded ground in the county of Hampshire.

Its fine streams afforded means of enjoyment for those who devote their pastime in angling and other such health-giving recreation.

Its gardens were carefully cultivated, showing much neatness and elegance, though not affording a varied extent of scenery.
Captain Trevelyan's return was now to be associated with new and varied interest in the interior and exterior management of this pleasant home.
Fanny Trevelyan was cheered by the hope of her brother's presence.
Company would now be entertained in a manner creditable to the former hospitality which distinguished the Trevelyans.
