and fast upon us, Helen. Let us hope there will be a
breathing time now for some time to come. Lettice is bound to marry
sooner or later, but we will pray for `later,' and as for Norah, I
suppose her future is practically settled. Poor child! it will be a
long waiting, but Rex is a fine lad, and is bound to succeed. He knows
his own mind, too, and will not be likely to change; while Norah--"

"Yes, she is one of the steadfast ones, but she is only a child, Austin,
and will be none the worse for the time of waiting."

"And I cannot regret it, since through it I shall be able to keep one of
my little lasses with me for some years at least. I shall be a lonely
man when they all take flight! ... Come, it is getting chilly. Let us
go into the house."
