And now, when Helen returned from her walk, Mr. Collingwood, in the gentlest and kindest manner he was able, informed her of the confusion in her uncle's affairs, the debts, the impossibility of paying the creditors, the total loss of all fortune for herself. Mrs. Collingwood had well foreseen the effect this intelligence would have on Helen.
Collingwood picked up the book which the boy indicated a thick, substantially bound volume, inside one cover of which was a linen pocket, wherein were some loose maps and plans of Barford. "These what he took out?" he asked, holding them up. "Yes, sir, but there was another paper, with writing on it a biggish sheet of paper written all over." "Did you see what the writing was?
Collingwood, "for it must have seemed very strange to an outsider. Of course, for the first few years, my anger had been so great, and my grief was still so terrible, that I felt I could never, never look upon the place or anything in it again.
Mr. Q ," I urged in modest protest. "Why, the whole country lives by the farmer: and I'm sure" "We won't argy the matter, Mr. Collingwood," replied my antagonist, lowering his point. "Possibly I won't trouble you any further over this affair. Your business keeps you on the move," he continued,\ looking at the paper beside him; "and it might be difficult to effect service. You want your dog.
"What do you think of Pratt's charge against Mrs. Mallathorpe?" asked Collingwood. Eldrick made a wry face. "Looks bad! very, very bad, Collingwood!" he answered. "Art and scheme of a desperate woman, of course. But we mustn't let her daughter think we believe it.
That prediction was fulfilled in 1846, by the discovery of Neptune revolving at the distance of 3,000,000,000 of miles from the sun. The mass of Neptune, the size and position of his orbit in space, and his periodic time, were determined from his disturbing action on Uranus before the planet itself had been seen. We left Collingwood as ever with regret. COLLINGWOOD, 1st January, 1848.
I make the following extract from a letter from Sir John Herschel, written to me from Collingwood, on the 3rd of November, 1867: 'I will take this opportunity to mention that I believe myself to have originated the suggestion of the employment of borate of lead for optical purposes. It was, however, too soft for optical use as an object- glass.
Something has happened something that bothers and puzzles me very, very much! I'm dreadfully bothered." "Tell me," suggested Collingwood. Nesta frowned at some recollection or thought. "Yesterday afternoon," she answered, "I was obliged to go into Barford, on business. I left my mother fairly well -she has been recovering fast lately, and she only has one nurse now.
"It is that letter that I have come to see you about," said Collingwood. "I only got down here from London at half-past eight this morning, and of course, I have made some inquiries about the circumstances of my grandfather's sudden death. He died very suddenly indeed at Mr. Eldrick's office. He had gone there on some business about which nobody knows nothing he died before he could mention it.
You, my dear Helen, have done just what I should have expected from you, right; right, too, the condition Mr. Collingwood has made very right. And now to the next point: where are you to live, Helen? or rather with whom?" Helen was not quite sure yet, she said she had not quite determined. "Am I to understand that your doubt lies between the Collingwoods and my daughter?"
