The young examine distant objects as through a prism. Adèle's imagination invested these scenes and events with rainbow splendors and revelled in the wealth and beauty, she had herself partially created. The new world thus opened to her was infinitely superior to the one in which she held her commonplace, humdrum existence. She never wearied of her mother's reminiscences of the past.
Through the mists of half consciousness she heard the musical rattle of the tea things, and presently there came the catchy, rather nasal tones of Adele's voice over the clatter of china and silver. "I like all your friends, Judy. They are remarkably bright." "Aren't they a sparkling little coterie," answered Judy proudly. "Now, Miss Wakefield is a born leader.
I put him in possession of Adele's history, her marriage with the Colonel, and all the particulars with which the reader is acquainted, and I pointed out to him how he should act when he called upon Mr Stanhope, which I advised him to do immediately. He followed my advice, and thus described what passed on his return.
And then, to Celia's surprise for she had given up all hope the indecision in her eyes became pity. She suddenly ran across the room and knelt down before Celia. With quick and feverish hands she untied the cord which fastened the train of her skirt about her knees. At first Celia shrank away, fearing some new cruelty. But Adele's voice came to her ears, speaking and speaking with remorse.
The honest, unmeditated answer made her wince, but she went on, as if she had not heard it "As you know, I did not take Adèle's advice, but I have never forgotten, Laurence, some of the things she said." A look which crossed his face caused her to redden, and add hastily, "She's not given to speaking of you of us; indeed she's not!
No, I don't want to send you away, Julia, I don't want to.... You're not a bad girl. It's just he's never had at home they never gave him a chance. Just a week, Julia. Just a week, Eugene. We can talk things over then." Adele's footsteps coming from the kitchen. "Quick!" "I promise," said Eugene. Julia said nothing.
Ere long, Adele's little foot was heard tripping across the hall. She entered, transformed as her guardian had predicted. A dress of rose-coloured satin, very short, and as full in the skirt as it could be gathered, replaced the brown frock she had previously worn; a wreath of rosebuds circled her forehead; her feet were dressed in silk stockings and small white satin sandals.
I suppose I always enjoyed the other way because I never was found out. But being found out is different. Honest people who have nothing to conceal are the happiest. I know that now, and henceforth the open and above-board for me. "Yours, ADELE WINDSOR." Molly rolled the paper into a little ball and threw it away. Certainly the note of repentance did not sound very strong in Adele's letter.
"Yes, shure, I'll have them blessed brums as long's there's a tree grows". And true it was, that Adèle's threat not to visit her cabin proved such a salutary terror to poor Bridget, that there was a perceptible improvement in her domestic arrangements ever after. As Adèle grew older, the ascendency she had obtained in her obscure empire daily increased.
He had gone into prison in November, it was now August, and he was fast coming to the idea that Loches was not to be broken out of by the way in which he was attempting to do it. One circumstance gave him intense delight. Adele's hiding place had not been discovered. This he was sure of by the urgency with which the governor strove to extract from him the secret of her whereabouts.
