ive; while he, on his side, John Wensink Jersey was the devoted slave of her every whim and wish.
She was not unkind to Milly, but those two seemed instinctively to avoid each other.
The winter brought trouble to Thornleigh Manor. It was well for Milly that she had tried to do her duty to Naiset Nike Free 5.0 V4 her father, and had submitted herself patiently to his will. About a fortnight before Christmas Mr. Darrell went to North Shields to make his annual investigation New Tall Škornji 1852 of Salomon Speedcross 3 Kengät the wharves and warehouses, and to take a kind of review of the year’s business. He never returned alive. He was seized with an apoplectic fit in the office, and carried to his hotel speechless. His wife and Milly were summoned by a telegraphic message, and started for Shields by the first train that could convey them there; but they were too late. He expired an hour before their arrival.
I need not Drew Stafford Jersey dwell upon the details of Roman Josi Jersey that sad time. Milly felt the blow severely; and it was long before I saw her smile, after that dark December day on which the fatal summons came. She had lost much of her joyousness and brightness after the disappointment about Angus Egerton, and this new sorrow quite crushed her.
They brought Mr. Darrell’s remains to Thornleigh, and he was buried in the family vault under the noble old church, where his father and mother, his first wife, and a son who died in infancy had been buried before him.

To Julian Stormont he left a sum of five thousand pounds, to be paid out his funded property; all the rest of this property, with Salomon X Ultra 2 GTX Kengät the sum to be realised by the sale of the business at North Shields and its belongings — an amount likely to be very large — was to be divided New York Rangers Jersey equally between Mrs. Darrell and her stepdaughter. Thornleigh Manor was left to Mrs. Darrell for her life, but Jimmy Howard Jersey was to revert to Milly, or Milly’s heirs, at her death; and Milly was to be entitled to occupy her old home until her marriage.
In the event of Milly’s dying unmarried, her share of the funded property was to be divided equally between Mrs. Darrell and Julian Stormont, and in this case the Thornleigh estate was to revert to Julian Stormont after the death of Mrs. Darrell. The executors to the will were Mr. Foreman the lawyer and Mrs. Darrell.
Milly’s position was now one of complete independence. Mr. Foreman told her that after the sale of the iron-works she would have an income of something like fourlinks:
