a small but comfortable pension, and joined the "Rosebud Colony," as Pax
styled it, taking his grandmother along with him. That remarkable piece
of antiquity, when last seen by a credible witness, was basking in the
sunshine under a rustic porch covered with honeysuckle, more wrinkled,
more dried-up, more tough, more amiable--especially to her cat--and more
stooped in the previous century than ever. Mr Bright, the energetic
sorter, who visits Solomon whenever his postal duties will allow,
expresses his belief that the old lady will live to see them all out,
and Mr Bright's opinion carries weight with it; besides which, Phil
Maylands and May Aspel with her husband are more than half inclined to
agree with him. Time will show.

Pegaway Hall still exists, but its glory has departed, for although Mrs
Square still keeps her one watchful eye upon its closed door, its walls
and rafters no longer resound with the eloquence, wit, and wisdom of Boy
Telegraph Messengers, although these important servants of the Queen
still continue--with their friends the letter-carriers--to tramp the
kingdom "post haste," in ceaseless, benignant activity, distributing
right and left with impartial justice the varied contents of Her
Majesty's Mails.
