Lady Frances, before she left the house, had been made to understand that her brother could not have his way in the matter which was so near his heart, and that the Quaker's daughter would certainly have hers. George Roden had come to a decision as to his title, and had told every one concerned that he meant to be as he always had been, George Roden, a clerk in the Post Office.
For himself the prospect was now better, and in looking back he realized what a terrible time it had been especially for his wife; for hers was the more difficult task in laying out the scanty wages he earned.
And when his hands gathered hers into his close grasp it was somehow as if he had taken hold of an electric battery. He distinctly felt the difference between her hands and those of the other girl. It was very curious and he could not wholly understand it. "What kind of gloves do you wear?" was his first inquiry.
