text_original: OF GROSVENOR SQUARE 7 The homestead belonged to her bachelor tmcle, a hard working farmer, who was generally out of doors, and who mostly fell asleep if forced, from any cause, to remain within; so that his niece could scarcely look to him for companionship, even if he had been as congenial to her as he was kind. She had not seen her brother Louis, who was now in South Africa, since he had left home to join his regiment in India, nearly five years ago.
