are Miss Vea and Alfred?
did you see them also?"

"'No, miss,' said the old woman, 'I didn't see them. The young lady and
her brother have gone to stay with another aunt at some distance off;
but Master Patrick is to remain with Mrs. Berkley all the winter. I'm
sure there's more than my son and Polly were glad indeed to hear this,
for he is a good friend to the poor, and does many a good action to help
them when he thinks as they are frail.'

"After resting for some time by the kitchen-fire, Polly's grandmother
went away, not without promising to come in again if ever she was
passing that way when going to see her son.

"That visit was the beginning of many, and very many pleasant days I
afterwards spent at the Bluff Crag Rectory. But it is near your bedtime,
my dears, and I must stop for the present, and send you to bed," said
Mrs. Lincoln.

"Oh! do tell us some more, mamma," pleaded Robert. "I want you to tell
us again of those cousins of Vea Berkley's who came from India, and you
haven't even mentioned their names."

"All in good time, my dears," said Mrs. Lincoln, laughing; "that is only
the beginning of the Bluff Crag stories. It would never do, you know,
to have them all told at once. We shall have the story of Vea and her
cousins another time, never fear;" and with this promise the children
had to be content, and say "Good-night."
