But she only said, "I don't believe Poppa could take that in the wrong way if you told him." Breckon stared. "Yes your father! What would he say?" "I can't tell you. But I'm sure he would know what you meant." "And you," he pursued, "what should YOU say?" "I? I never thought about such a thing. You mustn't ask me, if you're serious; and if you're not " "But I am; I am deeply serious.
Boyne remained fixed in fealty to the Rasmiths, with whom Breckon was also talking as Mrs. Kenton came up with the judge. She explained how sorry her daughter Ellen was at not being able to say goodbye; she was still not at all well; and the ladies received her excuses with polite patience. Mrs.
Kenton stared at him. "When this other one first made up to us on the boat my heart went down. I thought of Bittridge so." "Mr. Breckon?" "Yes, the same lightness; the same sort of trifling Didn't you notice it?" "No yes, I noticed it. But I wasn't afraid for an instant. I saw that he was good." "Oh!" "What I'm afraid of now is that Ellen doesn't care anything about him."
Breckon is very different, and Ellen knows how to behave," he urged, but his mother remained unmoved, or was too absent about something to take any interest in the matter. In fact, she was again unhappy about Ellen, though she put on such an air of being easy about her. Clearly, so far as her maternal surmise could fathom the case, Mr.
He went on talking about the weather, and had got such a distance from the point of beginning that he had cause to repent being brought back to it when she asked: "Did the doctor think, you were hurt?"

Breckon took up the question she had asked him.
Her husband received her successive advices with relaxing interest, and when she had brought the last she was aware that the affair was entirely in her hands with all the responsibility. After the gay parting between Ellen and Breckon, which took place late in the afternoon, she suffered an interval to elapse before she followed the girl down to her state-room.
Breckon found it hard to abdicate the sort of authority in which his knowledge of Dutch had placed him, and when he protested that he had done nothing but act as interpreter, Ellen said, "Yes, but we couldn't have done anything without you," and this was the view that Mrs. Kenton took of the matter in the family conclave which took place later in the evening.
