Charrington and Kit, until it was time for her to go; but even then she refused to bid him good-bye. "I shall be at the station," she whispered, as he kissed her forehead; "we can say things to each other then," and he understood her and nodded. But later on, as Mr.
But next day, as Iola was planning to go to the station, Margaret would not have it. "Why should you go? You have nothing to say but what would give him pain. Do you want him to despise you and me to hate you?" But Iola was resolved to have her way. It was Mrs. Duff Charrington who fortunately intervened and carried Iola off with her to spend the afternoon and evening.
There was that in her voice that made Bulling stand sharply at attention and promptly obey. And ere Barney knew, he was leading Iola and Mrs. Duff Charrington to the waiting carriage. "So sorry I didn't know you were a friend of Miss Lane's, or we would have had you on our trip, Mr. Boyle," said Mrs. Duff Charrington as he closed the carriage door. "I thank you.
Charrington had been a handsome man in his youth; but a sedentary life and a somewhat injudicious burning of the midnight oil had tried his constitution. He had grown pale and thin, and his shoulders were slightly round, so that he looked older than his years. Malcolm thought Cedric's name of Dr. Dryasdust was not an inapt title.
Charrington," said Iola; "nothing can ever change him." "Pish! You think so, and so, doubtless, does he. But none the less it is sheer nonsense. Can you tell me the trouble?"

Now let us dismiss the thing till after dinner.
A few minutes later Charrington took her to the door of the "den," where Knight received her with casual cheerfulness. "This is an unexpected pleasure!" he said. "Don't let us bother with conventionalities, Don!" she exclaimed, her emotion showing itself in petulance. "I had to come and have an understanding with you." "An understanding?"
He has his innings now, but we got the best of him this afternoon." Elizabeth's merry answering laugh reached Malcolm's ears, and made him lose the drift of the vicar's argument. But he lost it still more, and became increasingly absent-minded, when a few minutes later he heard her rich, full tones in his favourite song, "Loving, yet leaving." Mr. Charrington noticed it at last.

"Ah, poor little Kit," observed Elizabeth sadly; "how sorry Mr. Herrick will be Kit is his special protegee. But Dr. Randolph says that she could never have lived to grow up.
Barney, you will take me down. You may carry me, if you like. I am going, Jack," she continued with something of her old imperious air. Barney searched her face with a critical glance, holding his fingers upon her wrist. She was growing excited. "Well, I think she might go down for a little. What do you think, Charrington? You know best." "If she is good she might," said Jack doubtfully.
Carlyon," with a sudden change of tone, "he and Mr. Charrington are such good friends that they dine together two or three times a week, so there is no objection on that score.

"I suppose I can do the job," returned Cedric in a grumbling tone.
