It had come to be tacitly understood between them that he was to be in constant attendance on her for the present, at any rate. He spent all his time at the house in Portman Square; he saved its young mistress all the trouble he could; he accompanied her in her goings and comings.
She had all a woman's curiosity without a woman's suspicions, and, strangely enough, she did not associate his presence in this terrible neighborhood or his mysterious comings and goings with anything discreditable to himself.
Sitting in one of the smooth-worn old armchairs that Uncle Tony always keeps handy, you can view the very heart of Green Valley's business life. Without turning your head scarcely you can keep an eye on Martin's drug store, keep tab on the comings and goings of the town's two doctors, and the hotel's arriving and departing guests.
Every morning the office boy brought her in court the allotted work for the day, which she wrote as well as she could during the proceedings or at luncheon time, with the happy consciousness that all her short comings would be set right by the little Irish sub-editor who worshipped the ground she trod on and was always ready with courteous and unofficious help.
If I could I would not have stood upon the order of my going, but gone at once, anywhere, anyhow; but, at that moment, my comings and goings were not matters in which I was consulted.

Uncle John laughed joyously when told that the expenses of the flower booth would fall on the shoulders of his girls and there was no later recompense.
I have been, you know, at Rome with the Effinghams; and since that I have been ; but, indeed, I have been such a vagrant that I cannot tell you of all my comings and goings. And you, you are hard at work!" "Oh yes; always." "That is right. I wish I could be something, if it were only a stick in waiting, or a door-keeper. It is so good to be something."
Why thinkest thou so? said I. And Edith answered, 'I feel it by the touch of the earth, by the breath of the air. This is more than love, Harold. I knew two twins who had the same instinct of each other's comings and goings, and were present each to each even when absent: Edith is twin to my soul. Thou goest to her now, Harold: thou wilt find there thy sister Thyra.
The comings and going of Mademoiselle de Nailles have long ceased to have the slightest interest for me." "They have for Fred at any rate; he has just proved it, I should say," replied Giselle. By this time the others were as much embarrassed as Giselle. She saw it, and went on quickly: "Their names are together in everybody's mouth; you can not hinder it."
