Robin Redbreast by Mary Louisa Molesworth

There was a great writing of letters during the next day or two at Robin Redbreast. And both Lady Myrtle and the children found it difficult to give their attention to anything but the absorbing subject of Mrs Mildmay's return.

And in response to a pressing invitation from the old lady, Miss Mildmay actually managed to spare or make time to come out to Robin Redbreast to 'spend the day' -- that is to say, three or four hours of it, so that she and Lady Myrtle might have a talk about the plans under discussion.
