I was quite unconscious that it was for me, and I did not want it when it came; so he sighed in a most melancholy manner, and said, 'My poor Erminia!' If Frank had not been there, and looking dreadfully miserable, I am sure I should have laughed out." I WAS QUITE UNCONSCIOUS THAT IT WAS FOR ME AND I DIDN'T WANT IT WHEN IT CAME SO HE SIGHED IN A MOST MELANCHOLY MANNER AND SAID OH MY POORER MILLER IF FRANK HAD NOT BEEN THERE AND LOOKING DREADFULLY MISERABLE I'M SURE I SHOULD HAVE LAUGHED OUT

"But I can assure you I had a strong rival in lady Adela Castlemayne, the Duke of Wight's daughter; she was the most beautiful lady my uncle had ever seen (he only saw her in the Grand Stand at Woodchester races, and never spoke a word to her in his life). And if she would have had Frank, my uncle would still have been dissatisfied as long as the Princess Victoria was unmarried; none would have been good enough while a better remained. But Maggie," said she, smiling up into her friend's face, "I think it would have made you laugh, for all you look as if a kiss would shake the tears out of your eyes, if you could have seen my uncle's manner to me all day.
