I hear he is a very promising young man." "Thank you.

I am sure he will be delighted to come.

I think you will like him; but I forgot that you, Miss Vaughan, have already seen him." "Oh, yes!" said Gwenda.

"He once saved my life; so of course I am very grateful." "Saved your life, child; how," asked Mrs.Trevor.
And Gwenda related the story of the runaway bull, and the manner in which Will had gone to her rescue.
"Dear me," said Dr.Owen, "he never mentioned it to me! Well! I'll go and look him up today." Noontide found Will seated at lunch at Llwynelen, Mr.Trevor plying him with questions concerning his studies and college life; Dr.Owen not a little pleased with his nephew's self-possessed, though unobtrusive, manner.

He was pleased, too, to see that he made a favourable impression upon the genial host and hostess.
Gwenda was as delightfully agreeable as she knew how to be, and that is saying a good deal.
