He was careful not to go out of Allington by the road he had entered it, as he had no wish to encounter Grace and her friend on their return into the village; so he crossed a little brook which runs at the bottom of the hill on which the chief street of Allington is built, and turned into a field-path to the left as soon as he had got beyond the houses.
"I will say nothing about that," he answered; not thinking at that moment of the Small House, but of the full possession which he had desired to give to the elder of all the privileges which should belong to the mistress of Allington, thinking also of the means by which he was hoping to repair poor Lily's shattered fortunes.
How could one not love him?" "I love him, for loving you." "But, mamma, one is bound not to do a harm to any one that one loves. So when he came to Allington I told him that I could not be his wife." "Did you, my dear?" "Yes; I did. Was I not right? Ought I to go to him to bring a disgrace upon all the family, just because he is so good that he asks me?
Grey had come to Allington from Springfield, where he had been on business for his father, and both Lucy and Miss McPherson knew that he was coming, and had chosen that day for Bessie's visit to the park, and had purposely talked before her of his probable marriage, in order to test the nature of Bessie's feelings for him.
When he had spoken she said no more, but resolved that her eye should never be off him, no, not for a moment. Then, when she had gotten him once more into that front parlour, she threw her arms round him and kissed him. Grace Crawley Goes to Allington The tidings of what had been done by the magistrates at their petty sessions was communicated the same night to Grace Crawley by Miss Prettyman.
As he was thinking of all this, a gig overtook him on the road, and on looking round he saw that the occupant of the gig was the man who had travelled with him on the previous day in the train. Major Grantly was alone in the gig, and as he recognised John Eames he stopped his horse. "Are you also going to Allington?" he asked.
Do you know the place?" "My aunt lives there the woman for whom Bessie was named, Miss Betsey McPherson. Do you know her?" "Yes, I used to know her well when I was so often in Allington before my grandfather died," Grey replied, and Neil said to him: "What manner of woman is she? Something of a shrew, I fancy.
"He will soon be dead, and I shall be alone, all alone; for mother has gone to America with a Mrs. Rossiter-Browne, who lives in or near Allington? You know her, I believe," and Bessie looked up in time to see the look of surprise and the half-amused smile which flitted over Grey's face as he replied: "Mrs. Rossiter-Browne? Oh, yes, I know her. I have always known her.
What other man can there be, of that sort, who would be likely to come to Allington to see you?" "His coming is not likely. I cannot understand that he should come. He let me leave Silverbridge without seeing me, and I thought that he was quite right." "And I think he is quite right to come here. I am very glad he has come. It shows that he has really something like a heart inside him.
Then Lily decided that she must and would go back to Allington on the next Monday, and she actually did write a letter to her mother that night to say that such was her intention. But on the morrow her heart was less sore, and the letter was not sent.
