I was so taken aback that I could hardly find words to speak to her until we sat down together at dinner. She, too, was equally agitated. I talked awhile to my left-hand neighbor, but presently her adjoining table companion spoke to her and being thus set free, I said to Mme. Bellegarde in English, speaking low: "You are my countrywoman, and are, as I know, in trouble. What is it?
'I have seen nothing so like my own country since I came hither. 'That may well be, madam, said Mistress Belt, 'seeing that these bedeswomen were first instituted by a countrywoman of your own Queen Philippa, of blessed memory. 'By your leave, Mistress Bolt, interposed Master Price, 'the hospital of St. Katharine by the Tower is of far older foundation.
MY DEAR COUNTRYWOMAN, I am so impatient to show you that I am once more at peace with you, that I send you the book I mentioned, directly, rather than wait the uncertain time of my seeing you. I am afraid I have mislaid or lost Collins's Poems, which I promised to Miss Irvin. If I can find them I will forward them by you; if not, you must apologise for me.
Can we not persuade your charming young countrywoman to gratify us even by a single song?" Then turning aside and addressing some one else invisible to Graham he said, "Does that tyrannical doctor still compel you to silence, Mademoiselle?"
