You know my wish; I expect you to obey me." And he left the room.
She remained standing where she was till the bell rang for dinner.

Then with a shiver she went down-stairs.
On the stairs she met Mr Armstrong.
"Your father has returned," said he.
"Yes, with a friend.

Are you going down, or shall you stay with Roger ?" "May I ?" he asked.
"You know how glad he will be." So the tutor turned back, and thought to himself that Miss Rosalind was evidently anxious that he should not be a witness to her introduction to her father's friend.
Mr Ratman, brilliantly arranged in evening dress, and evidently already very much at home, was comfortably leaning against the mantelpiece in the hall as she descended.

He did not wait for an introduction.
"I could tell Miss Oliphant anywhere," said he, advancing, "by her likeness to her father.

May I offer you my arm ?" "I am not at all like father," said she quietly, scanning him as she spoke in a way which made even him uncomfortable, and then putting her hand on her father's arm.
Thus repulsed, the visitor cheerfully offered his arm to Mrs Ingleton, congratulating her as he did so on the recovery of her son.
During the meal he was aware that the young lady's eyes were completing their scrutiny, and although, being a bashful man, he did not venture too often to meet them with his own, he was conscious that the result was not altogether satisfactory to himself.
