The last remarkable event in this day of events was the departure of Miss Hender, who came downstairs saying she had only just allowed herself time to hurry to the theatre; she feared she wouldn't be there before the curtain went up, and she was sorry Kate wasn't coming, but she would tell her to-morrow all about Mr. Lennox, and how the piece went.
She explained to Kate how she had been so brutally jarred out of the feeling in herself that she felt was at bottom all right. "It was like a blow in the face at the hand of God," she said. Kate Chanceller was excited as Clara told the tale and listened with a fiery light burning in her eyes.
"Unnecessarily long," Aunt Jane afterwards pronounced them; while Kate had to admit that they did indeed give Emilia an overdressed look at breakfast, and that she ought to have a less showy set to match her morning costume.

Kate felt she could not endure another disappointment. All that was required of her now was to assume an air of indifference, and take care not to betray herself to Mrs. Ede, whom she suspected of watching her. But her excitement rendered her nervous, and she found the calm exterior she was so desirous of imposing on herself difficult to maintain.
What do you want, sir? said Mrs Nickleby, addressing the intruder with a sort of simpering displeasure. 'How dare you look into this garden? 'Queen of my soul, replied the stranger, folding his hands together, 'this goblet sip! 'Nonsense, sir, said Mrs Nickleby. 'Kate, my love, pray be quiet.
"Dear heart alive, darling, what is it?" he said. "My poor girl, what's troubling you at all? Tell me, now tell me, bogh, tell me." "It's nothing, Pete, nothing. Don't ask me," said Kate. But still she sobbed as if her heart would break. Pete stood a moment by her side, smoothing her arm with his hand.
She took up room, and it was almost as if room had been made for her. Kate had appeared to take for granted he would know why it had been made; but that was just the point. It was a foreground in which he himself, in which his connexion with Kate, scarce enjoyed a space to turn round.
