"Out of the way, Ridley, and in half an hour you'll find it ready." She turned him out of the room, and they could hear him groaning and swearing as he went along the passage. "I daresay he isn't very strong," said Mrs. Chailey, looking at Mrs. Ambrose compassionately, as she helped to shift and carry. "It's books," sighed Helen, lifting an armful of sad volumes from the floor to the shelf.
Chailey herself limped because of the rheumatism in her feet, but it appeared to her mere waste of time to take any notice of the unruly flesh of servants. The evening went on. Dr. Lesage arrived unexpectedly, and stayed upstairs a very long time. He came down once and drank a cup of coffee. "She is very ill," he said in answer to Ridley's question.
John and then at Terence, and said to Terence, "Mr. Hewet, I think you should go upstairs now." Terence rose immediately, leaving the others seated with Dr. Lesage standing motionless between them. Chailey was in the passage outside, repeating over and over again, "It's wicked it's wicked." Terence paid her no attention; he heard what she was saying, but it conveyed no meaning to his mind.
I had no one in mind to give it to, but bought it because I had enjoyed visiting the school at Chailey." "Can all the cripples make pretty things like this?" asked Hannah, wondering, as Frieda placed the bed in her hands. "O, no, only a very few. But the Guild of Brave Poor Things does many other things, besides establishing the schools.
"So long as I can do something for your family," she was saying, as she hammered at it, when a voice called melodiously in the passage: "Mrs. Chailey! Mrs. Chailey!" Chailey instantly tidied her dress, composed her face, and opened the door. "I'm in a fix," said Mrs. Ambrose, who was flushed and out of breath. "You know what gentlemen are.
"Greek from morning to night. If ever Miss Rachel marries, Chailey, pray that she may marry a man who doesn't know his ABC." The preliminary discomforts and harshnesses, which generally make the first days of a sea voyage so cheerless and trying to the temper, being somehow lived through, the succeeding days passed pleasantly enough.
Chailey, I presume. But what's the use of reading if you don't read Greek? After all, if you read Greek, you need never read anything else, pure waste of time pure waste of time," thus speaking half to himself, with quick movements of his hands; they had come round again to the circle of books on the floor, and their progress was stopped. "Well," he demanded, "which shall it be?"
The only sound in the house was the sound of Chailey moving in the kitchen. At last there was a rustling on the stairs overhead, and Nurse McInnis came down fastening the links in her cuffs, in preparation for the night's watch. Terence rose and stopped her.
Slipping from one such thought to another, she was at the dining-room with fruit in her hands. Sometimes she stopped to straighten a candle stooping with the heat, or disturbed some too rigid arrangement of the chairs. She had reason to suspect that Chailey had been balancing herself on the top of a ladder with a wet duster during their absence, and the room had never been quite like itself since.
"What's the use of telling me lies?" In her anger that a woman of fifty should behave like a child and come cringing to a girl because she wanted to sit where she had not leave to sit, she did not think of the particular case, and, unpacking her music, soon forgot all about the old woman and her sheets. Mrs. Chailey folded her sheets, but her expression testified to flatness within.
