And so the shadows fall apart, And so the west winds play; And all the windows of my heart I open to the day. -- WHITTIER.
Mildred Anstruther was paying a visit at the Rectory on the day that Rivers and Judy walked in. Rivers was a very striking-looking man, and all the Rectory people were so devoured with curiosity about him, and so interested in all he said and did -- in his reasons for coming down to Little Staunton, and in his remarks about the Quentyns -- that Judy's own return to the family circle passed into utter insignificance. She was there -- they had none of them expected her, and as she chose to come back, she was welcome of course.
