Indeed, the only difference it has made is that we have now one, or rather two, new inmates at Wildtree, for Uncle Rimbolt has employed Percy's rescuer as his librarian, and the dog has, of course, taken up his abode here too.
He is a perfect darling! so handsome and clever! He took to me the first moment I saw him, and he would do anything for me.' Really!" said the father; "that's coming it rather strong, isn't it, with the new librar-- Oh, perhaps she means the dog! Ha, ha! `Aunt Rimbolt gets some fine extinguisher practice with this newcomer, against whom she has a most unaccountable prejudice.

He is very shy and gentlemanly, but I am sure Percy never had a better friend.

He has become ever so much steadier.' Did you ever know such letter-writers as these girls are?
Which newcomer does she mean, the fellow who's a perfect darling, or the fellow who's shy and gentlemanly?
and which, in the name of wonder, is the man and which the dog?
Upon my word, something awful might be going on, and I should be none the wiser! `Julius nearly always escorts me in my walks.

He is _such_ a dear friendly fellow, and always carries my bag or parasol.

Aunt, of course, doesn't approve of our being so devoted to one another, for she looks upon Julius as an interloper; but it doesn't matter much to us.
