lose him。 Come now； forgive him！ I was angry with him once
myself； and I found I was in the wrong。 This is only a
misunderstanding； like the other； believe me； and with one
kind movement； you may give happiness to him； and to me； and
to yourself。'
Esther made a movement towards the door； but long before she
reached it she had broken forth sobbing。
'It is all right；' said the Admiral； 'I understand the sex。
Let me make you my compliments； Mr。 Naseby。'
The Squire was too much relieved to be angry。
'My dear；' said he to Esther； 'you must not agitate
yourself。'
'She had better go up and see him right away；' suggested Van
Tromp。
'I had not ventured to propose it；' replied the Squire。 'LES
CONVENANCES； I believe … '
'JE M'EN FICHE；' cried the Admiral； snapping his fingers。
'She shall go and see my friend Dick。 Run and get ready；
Esther。'
Esther obeyed。
'She has not … has not run away again？' inquired Mr。 Naseby；
as soon as she was gone。
'No；' said Van Tromp； 'not again。 She is a devilish odd girl
though； mind you that。'
'But I cannot stomach the man with the carbuncles；' thought
the Squire。
And this is why there is a new household and a brand…new baby
in Naseby Dower House； and why the great Van Tromp lives in
pleasant style upon the shores of England； and why twenty…six
individual copies of the THYMEBURY STAR are received daily at
the door of Naseby House。
