'I have Mr. Falkirk's cheque for my last quarter's allowance. I generally make that do,' said Hazel.
'Doesn't your stock need supplementing?'
'No, thank you,' she said softly and shyly.
'I will arrange all that presently, Hazel. Meanwhile I am very sorry I cannot go along to help you fill those trunks; but I have several people to see and less pleasant work to do. We'll get some of this business over, and then we'll play. Take a carriage, and Byrom shall wait upon you.'
'I do not want Byrom. He is not used to me. And perhaps I may walk.'
'Byrom is used to me,' said Dane significantly.
'Proof positive of my two propositions,' said Hazel with a laugh.
'Waiting on me, is bewildering work to a new hand.'
'If I give it him in charge, he will do it well. Byrom has a head.'
'But I do not want to be given in charge. Have not I a head too?'
Rollo laughed at her, and remarked that it was 'one he was bound to take care of.'
