ive; while he,CG Menn Skreslet Parka, on his side, was the devoted slave of her every whim and wish.
She was not unkind to Milly,Mikael Backlund Tröjor, 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 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 of 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,Boyd Gordon Tröjor, 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 dwell upon the details of 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,John Tavares Tröjor, and a son who died in infancy had been buried before him. He had been very popular in the neighbourhood,Martin Hanzal Tröjor, and was sincerely regretted by all who had known him.
Julius Stormont was chief-mourner at the unpretentious funeral. He seemed much affected by his uncle’s death; and his manner towards his cousin had an unusual gentleness.

The will had been made a few months after Mr. Darrell’s second marriage. It was very simple in its wording. 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 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 equally between Mrs. Darrell and her stepdaughter. Thornleigh Manor was left to Mrs. Darrell for her life,NHL Mens Calgary Flames Black Camo Stack Pullover Hoodie, but was to revert to Milly,Evgeny Svechnikov Tröjor, 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,Team Canada Tröjor, 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,Patrice Bergeron Tröjor. Foreman told her that after the sale of the iron-works she would have an income of something like four
