Excerpt from The Billow and the Rock: A TaleWithin the largest sitting-room was collected a formal group, awaiting the arrival of visitors. Lord Carse' s sister, Lady Rachel Ballino, was there, surrounded by her nephews and nieces. As they came in, one after another, dressed for com pany, and made their bow or curtsey at the door, their aunt gave them permission to sit down till the arrival of the first guest, after which time it would be a matter of course that they should stand. Miss Janet and her brothers sat down on their low stools, at some distance from each other, but little Miss Flora had no notion of submitting to their restraints at her early age, and she scrambled up the window-seat to look abroad as far as she could, which was through the high iron gates to the tall houses on the other side the Wynd.Lady Rachel saw the boys and Janet looking at each other with smiles, and this turned her atten tion to the child in the window, who was nodding her little curly head very energetically to some body outside.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
