If anybody else had been walking along this road, those horses would have been running away. And there was a girl in the buggy, too a mere child!" Mr. Carstyle's head sank again. "You're wondering what this means," he began after another pause. "I was a little confused for a moment must have seemed incoherent." His voice cleared and he made an effort to straighten himself.
Onward, through the long shadows that lay across their way, they went together, to pause at last before the gate of her home, there to linger for a little, while the others still went on.
She lay for some time breathing quick, and passed away so gently, that when we thought she was gone, James, in his old-fashioned way, held the mirror to her face. After a long pause, one small spot of dimness was breathed out; it vanished away, and never returned, leaving the blank clear darkness without a stain.
He was too late with his information, it appeared, and there was nothing to be done but to throw himself on the Doctor's good sense and kindness, which everybody knew, and get what hints he could from him as to the practical course he should pursue. He began, after an awkward pause, "You would not have me stay in a communion which I feel to be alien to the true church, would you?"
A pause, then: "Nothing is going to be dreadful to me any more. It's all in the game, as Mr. Burlingham used to say." "Burlingham who's he?" It was Etta's first faint clew toward that mysterious past of Susan's into which she longed to peer. "Oh a man I knew. He's dead." A long pause, Etta watching Susan's unreadable face.

"I can tell you my side of the case very quickly," he went on after a moment's pause. "He brought me here, and persuaded me that this was how I ought to live if I wanted to get into Society.
Fanny tells me she supports you by her work. Are you so poor, then? Yet I left you your son's bequest; and you, too, I understood, though not rich, were not in want!" "There was a curse on my gold," said the old man, sternly. "It was stolen from us." There was another pause. Simon broke it. "And you, young man how has it fared with you? You have prospered, I hope."

She knew it not to be her father's, and that was all she cared about. Nearer and nearer close to the outside of the door a pause, and a soft hesitating tap. The great gaunt figure sitting by her side quivered at the sound. Molly rose and went to the door: it was Robinson, the old butler, holding in his hand a covered basin of soup.
