He was not sure but that such an object would lend a zest to life. There was his brother Gregory in love with Clarissa, and still true to her. He would be true to Mary, and would see whether, in spite of that far-away lover, he might not be more successful than his brother.
"I generally find that it is so, when people take special precautions against heat." Clarissa naturally found herself thrown a good deal into Sophia Granger's society; but though they worked, and drove, and walked together, and played croquet, and acted in the same charades, it is doubtful whether there was really much more sympathy between these two than between Clarissa and Lady Geraldine.
I do, poor child; I can see your piteous face at this moment. And now it is going to be yours again. Upon my word, Providence has been very good to you, Clarissa." Providence had been very good to her. They all told her the same story.
He gave Clarissa a prod. "Olga?" "Yes. She told me so." "Curious I shouldn't have been aware of it." "And you weren't aware of it er in my perg " "Hermia!" "Or of the face powder on your coat lapel?" "No." "It was there, you know. You carried it quite innocently into the glare of the smoking-room. Poor Olga! And she is always so careful to cover her trails! But I warned her.
"Clary," he said, taking his youngest daughter affectionately by the waist, when he found himself alone with her. "I've got a piece of news for you." "For me, papa?" "Well, for all of us.

There was a brougham at Miss Granger's disposal; but the landau was essentially Clarissa's carriage. "You can get on very well without me," repeated Mr. Granger. "I do not think my presence or absence makes very much difference to you, Clarissa," he added, in a grave displeased tone. It was almost his first hint of a reproach.
Fairfax offered his arm to Clarissa, and led her out of the garden; the obsequious waiter on the other side holding an umbrella over her head. "Where shall I tell the man to drive?" he asked. "To St. Gudule." "But you don't live in the cathedral, like Hugo's Esmeralda. Am I not to know your address?" "It is better not. Austin knows that you were the cause of my leaving Paris.
But it is my duty to be sincere to my friend: and this will excuse her Anna Howe to Miss Clarissa Harlowe. I ought indeed to have excepted your mother; a lady to be reverenced: and now to be pitied. What must have been her treatment, to be thus subjugated, as I may call it?
