Clodd had no patience with Peter Hope, and told him so. "Why are there never inkstains on her fingers now? There used to be. Why does she always keep a lemon in her drawer? When did she last have her hair cut? I'll tell you if you care to know the week before he came, five months ago. She used to have it cut once a fortnight: said it tickled her neck.

"Or suffered very much," added the squire, half unconsciously, looking at her sad face. "Yes," she answered.

He was shabby and careless, with inkstains on the sleeves of his jacket, and his cravat was large and billowy, under a chin shaped like the toe of an old boot. It was a little too early for the doctor, so I proposed a drink, and thereupon he developed a vein of joviality.
Thinking afterward doesn't mend broken things, or take out inkstains. Of course, the broken glass is a mere trifle, that could have been easily replaced.

He was not quite certain what "restored" meant, but he knew his father had had it done to some pictures. Mr. Maynard smiled.
