THE first person she encountered on her return home was Maclean, who had not entered the house, but was busily employed in a shed, near the flower-garden, arranging his newly-acquired treasures: his composure and extreme unconcern for her fate, diverted the distress of Rosella in some degree, by exciting her anger; but she chose to confine it to her own bosom, lest Miss Beauclerc, on learning his negligence, should resent it by dismissing him.
