Hardy's, and spending the rest in traveling.
Ethel was married the year after Hubert to a rising barrister in
London.
Everything prospered at Mount Pleasant, and at the sale it was
broken up into lots and fetched rather a larger sum than Mr. Hardy
had calculated.
Mr. Hardy's own plan had been fully carried out, but by the end of
the ten years he began to wish for a quiet town life. He therefore
made an arrangement with Charley, whereby the latter, who had
obtained some money with his wife, has taken his place as master of
the estate, and has settled down into the life of a country
gentleman, which exactly suits him.
Hubert lives in London. His income is sufficient for his wants, he
has become a member of a number of scientific societies, and his
collection of the fauna of the pampas of America is considered to
be unequaled.
The girls are very happy with the men of their choice; and Mr. and
Mrs. Hardy have always some of their children or grandchildren
staying with them, and often amuse the young ones with tales of how
their fathers or mothers fought the Indians on the pampas of South
America.
