Salsted's.

The tone was one that admitted of no rebellion. If Mr. Kendal
interfered little, his authority was absolute where he did interfere,
and Albinia could only speak a few kind words of encouragement, but
the boy was vexed and moody, seemed half asleep when they came home,
and went to bed as soon as tea was over.

Sophy went to bed too, Mr. Kendal went to his study, and Albinia,
after this day of novelty and excitement, drew her chair to the fire,
and as Lucy was hanging wearily about, called her to her side, and
made her talk, believing that there was more use in studying the
girl's character than even in suggesting some occupation, though that
was apparently the great want of the whole family on Sunday.

Lucy's first confidence was that Gilbert had not been out alone, but
with that Archibald Tritton. Mr. Tritton had a great farm, and was a
sort of gentleman, and Gilbert was always after that Archy. She
thought it 'very undesirable,' and Aunt Maria had talked to him about
it, but he never listened to Aunt Maria.

Albinia privately thought that it must be a severe penance to listen
to Aunt Maria, and took Gilbert's part. She supposed that he must be
very solitary; it must be a melancholy thing to be a twin left alone.

'And Edmund, dear Edmund, was always so kind and so fond of Gilbert!'
said Lucy. 'You would not have thought they were twins, Edmund was
so much the tallest and strongest. It seemed so odd that Gilbert
should have got over it, when he did not. Should you like to hear
all about it, mamma?'
