You asked me if I could have perfect faith in you, and I said yes, and I meant it. It did not escape Bella's notice that he began to look triumphant. She wanted no strengthening in her firmness; but if she had had need of any, she would have derived it from his kindling face.
Lightwood stood irresolute, but Bella's husband passed him in the steadiest manner, with Bella on his arm; and they went home without encountering any further remonstrance or molestation from any one. When they had dined and were alone, John Rokesmith said to his wife, who had preserved her cheerfulness: 'And you don't ask me, my dear, why I bore that name? 'No, John love.
And now, in this night-watch, mingling with the flow of the river and with the rush of the train, came the questions into Bella's mind again: What could be in the depths of that mystery of John's? Why was it that he had never been seen by Mr Lightwood, whom he still avoided?
The talk went on, an awkward, half-disguised cross-questioning as to Bella's birthplace, her life before she came out, her husband's antecedents. She was extraordinarily calm, ready and reasonable with her replies. "Well, sir" the sheriff strolled back into the room "I reckon these aren't the parties we're after. But look a-here, this is a description of Ham Rutherford.
The result was, naturally, that the old lady wouldn't let Bella out of her sight, except to go to the kitchen for something to eat for her. Bella's conduct to Jim was disgraceful. She snubbed him, ignored him, tramped on him, and Jim was growing positively flabby. He spent most of his time writing letters to the board of health and playing solitaire. He was a pathetic figure.
"We have," was all he could reply. "Why, how nice that is, to be sure!" exclaimed his aunt. "I might have thought of it, too, Mr. Jauncy, and you being such friends and all. And p'r'aps you know this lady, too Miss Collum as Leandy is keeping company along with?" Bella's expression changed to something blacker still.
"Is there nobody you know here, child, whom you would like to stay with till your father returns?" Bella's face instantly brightened. Her black eyes flashed. "Oh, I'd like to stay at the minister's," she said. "At the minister's?" repeated Ruth. "Why, if he would take you that would be fine. Who is he?" "The Reverend Driggs," said Bella.
Doesn't it make a difference?" said another voice that he guessed was Bella's. "Wait a minute; I've got to let out the fowls, and give them their breakfast. Come along, Margery, if you want to throw it to them." For once Margery was quite indifferent to the fowls. "Is your 'get-me-not growing, daddy?" she shouted anxiously, as she raced up to him. "My dear life, yes! I should just think it is.
Marian, drowned in tears, seized hold of Bella's hand, squeezed it in hers, and kissed it. "Ah! my dear Miss," said she "is it in this condition I find you! but you must not die; what would then become of me? I will watch over you, and serve you: shall I, my dear Miss Bella?" Miss Bella, squeezing Marian's hand, signified to her, that staying with her would do her a great favour.
But she always says to me, she says, 'Mamma, I ain't goin' to marry till Mr. Right comes along." "That's just the same way with me." "My Bella's had chances not one, but six.
