'Yes; he has come back, said Lady Carbury, broken-hearted by her troubles. 'It was some plan about the Mexican railway I believe, and has broken through. He is very unhappy and not well. I will see to him. After that Hetta had said nothing during the whole day. And now, about an hour before dinner, Lady Carbury was standing by her son's bedside, determined that he should speak to her.
I should never have succeeded! My happiness would have been impossible if Paul had never come home from America. I have told myself so a hundred times, but I cannot therefore forgive him. And I won't forgive him, Hetta. Whether you are his wife, or another man's, or whether you are Hetta Carbury on to the end, my feeling to you will be the same.
Much as he liked the comfort of Carbury Hall, he would never for a moment condescend to ensure its continued enjoyment by reticence as to his religion. Roger Carbury was hard of heart. He could see that. But the dropping of water might hollow the stone. If the dropping should be put an end to by outward circumstances before the stone had been impressed that would not be his fault.
Men will hardly go to heaven, Mr Carbury, by following forms only because their fathers followed the same forms before them. 'I suppose men will go to heaven, my Lord, by doing as they would be done by. 'There can be no safer lesson. But we must hope that some may be saved even if they have not practised at all times that grand self-denial. Who comes up to that teaching?
'Yes, indeed, said the bishop, 'I think Suffolk is a very nice county; and as we are only a mile or two from Norfolk, I'll say as much for Norfolk too. "It's an ill bird that fouls its own, nest.". 'I like a county in which there is something left of county feeling, said Lady Carbury.
Of course it's your house; but if you do allow me a room, I think you might let me have it to myself. It was impossible for Lady Carbury, in her present mood, and in his present mood, to explain to him that in no other way and at no other time could she ever find him.
You have been so unkind to me about Sir Felix Carbury that I won't do it. If I ever marry the money will belong to my husband! His breath almost failed him as he listened to these words. He did not know whether to approach her with threats, with entreaties, or with blows. Before the interview was over he had tried all three.
'You are to dine at Caversham on Monday. Come on Saturday if you can. She is there. Lady Carbury had many doubts as to the wording of this message. The female in the office might too probably understand who was the 'she' who was spoken of as being at Caversham, and might understand also the project, and speak of it publicly.
With him arrived Carbury, the telegraph editor, and later Benfy, who had a carpet in his office and wrote editorials and who came in evening clothes, thus moving Harding and Holt to instant private conversation.
'Do you want my daughter? said Melmotte coming forward, and just touching his hat. 'She is not living here at present. 'Oh, I remember now, said Hetta. 'May I be allowed to tell her who was asking after her? At the present moment Melmotte was not unreasonably suspicious about his daughter. 'I am Miss Carbury, said Hetta in a very low voice.
