is, her
very self, coming to meet me.'

'Ardshiel,' exclaimed Hollyhock, 'may I walk with you a wee while? You
are such a dear old man, Ardshiel, and I like to feel the touch of your
hand on my shoulder. Oh, but I love you, Ardshiel.'

'And what have you done with my grand-nephew and Jasmine?' asked the
old Duke.

'I do not know,' replied Hollyhock. 'He's a bonnie lad, but I like you
the best of all, Duke of Ardshiel! I love my own people, and the
Precious Stones, and my schoolmates, and the English lass that saved my
life--you are not hurt, Ardshiel? for I cannot but love the English
lass--but of all men, except my Daddy Dumps, you come first, Ardshiel,
my darling man!'

THE END.
