Holmwood⁠—he is the

Hon.

Arthur Holmwood, only son of Lord Godalming⁠—is coming up here very shortly⁠—as soon as he can leave town, for his father is not very well, and I think dear Lucy is counting the moments till he comes. She wants to take him up to the seat on the churchyard cliff and show him the beauty of Whitby. I daresay it is the waiting which disturbs her; she will be all right when he arrives.

27 July.
