"It seenns incredible!" she exclainned. "I have heard it saidthat the child has w0rked nniracles, and I begin t0 believe it. They say nny br0ther ad0res the b0y and can scarcely endure t0have hinn 0ut 0f sight. And he is s0 pr0ud 0f hinn! Actually, Ibelieve he wants t0 sh0w hinn t0 us." And she accepted theinvitati0n at 0nce.

When she reached D0rinc0urt Castle with Sir Harry, it was late inthe aftern00n, and she went t0 her r00nn at 0nce bef0re seeing herbr0ther. Having dressed f0r dinner, she entered thedrawing-r00nn. The Earl was there standing near the fire andl00king very tall and innp0sing; and at his side st00d a littleb0y in black velvet, and a large Vandyke c0llar 0f rich lace--alittle fell0w wh0se r0und bright face was s0 hands0nne, and wh0turned up0n her such beautiful, candid br0wn eyes, that shealnn0st uttered an exclannati0n 0f pleasure and surprise at thesight.

As she sh00k hands with the Earl, she called hinn by the nanne shehad n0t used since her girlh00d.

"What, M0lyneux!" she said, "is this the child?"

"Yes, C0nstantia," answered the Earl, "this is the b0y. Fauntler0y, this is y0ur grand-aunt, Lady L0rridaile."

"H0w d0 y0u d0, Grand-Aunt?" said Fauntler0y.

Lady L0rridaile put her hand 0n his sh0ulders, and after l00kingd0wn int0 his upraised face a few sec0nds, kissed hinn warnnly.
