Alfred turned his head aside uneasily, and was a trifle ruddy in the cheeks when at length he regained his liberty. 'By-the-by, he remarked to his mother when he had seated himself, with crossed legs, 'Eldon has turned up at last. He passed us in a cab, or so Adela said. I didn't catch a glimpse of the individual. 'Really! exclaimed Mrs. Waltham. 'He was coming from Agworth station?
Do you remember lending someone your "Christian Year"? The smile left Adela's face, and the muscles of her mouth strung themselves. 'Yes, I remember, she replied coldly. 'As I was walking back from Agworth this afternoon, he overtook me on the road and asked me to return it to you. 'Thank you, dear. Adela took the parcel and laid it aside. There was an awkward silence. Letty could not look up.
I have busied myself in contradicting it. If Mrs. Waltham does not tell her, she will hear it from her friend Miss Tew, without question. Hubert pondered, then made the inquiry: 'How could I procure a meeting with Miss Tew? I met her just now on the road and spoke to her. I think she might consent to help me.

Knowing nothing of the circumstances, he supposed that general traffic had been commenced. He avoided the village street, and reached the Vicarage by a path through fields.
The workmen's tea will be at half-past five. 'You must have refreshments of some kind for casual comers, counselled Mrs. Waltham. 'I've thought of that. Rodman suggests that we shall get the "Wheatsheaf" people to have joints and that kind of thing in the refreshment-room at the Hall from half-past twelve to half-past one. We could put up some notice to that effect in Agworth station.
A house had been taken for her at Agworth, three miles away; in her state of health she could not quit the neighbourhood of the few old friends whom she still saw. But Hubert would necessarily go into the world to seek some kind of career. No hope shone for her in the prospect. Whilst the servant waited on them at luncheon, mother and son exchanged few words.

I will write to him myself, then I can thank him for returning the book. What is his address? Letty gave it. 'It is, of course, impossible for me to see him, pursued Adela, still in the same measured tones. 'If I write myself it will save you any more trouble.
