"And where did you get these?—these waterfall ferns?"
"I got them at the Bandel of Helig."
"There? My dear child! how could you, without risk?"
"Without much risk, aunty."
"How did you ever know the Bandel?"
"I have been there before, aunt Caxton."
"I think I never shewed it to you?"
"No ma'am;—but Mr. Rhys did."
His name had scarcely been mentioned before since Eleanor had come to the farm. It was mentioned now with a cognizance of that fact. Mrs. Caxton was silent a little.
"Why have you put these green things here without a rose or two? they are all alone in their greenness."
