“I am afraid you will find it dull here.”
“O no, Mrs. Granville, I am sure I shall like the country, for a while at least.”
“Do you know how to drive?”
“Oh, yes; I am used to horses.”
“On the whole, I am glad Louisa sent you down here. Frost Mercer, who usually drives me, has been getting lazy of late, and makes excuses when I want to go out.”
“I won’t do that, Mrs. Granville. I shall be only too glad to go.”
“You are sure you won’t upset me?”
“I don’t believe I shall,” answered Paul, smiling. “I don’t care about being upset myself.”
“I think, on the whole, I shall like to have a boy about,” said the old lady, thoughtfully.
“I am afraid Mrs. Mercer might object to me.”
