Coffin had reached the door of the "keeping-room" as the widow concluded her last remark; but pausing, with his thumb upon the latch, he turned, and, looking over his shoulder, whispered, with an emphatic nod, "Fact is, Miss Janes, there a'n't sich a great many women jest like Miss Coffin." "There a'n't no two ways about that," murmured Miss Janes, assentingly, as the door was thrown open.
She looked at Lawrence Newt with incredulous eagerness. He shook his head assentingly. "Alive?" she gasped rather than asked. "And well," he continued. Mrs. Bennet closed her eyes in a silent prayer. A light so sweet stole over her matronly face that Lawrence Newt did not fear to say, "And near you; come with me!"
Amy wondered how she would be able to look Mr. Cyril in the face when he knew that she had given notice. In the middle of writing, on her knee, Constance looked up at Sophia, and said, as though defending herself against an accusation: "I didn't write to him yesterday, you know, or to- day."
