Crowley told Alice, in confidence, that she "was most dead" with the noise of them, and that, some day, she would be "kilt intirely" by falling over them. Alice held the little girl for hours, and, remembering Mrs. Hawkins' complaint, called her "Martha" instead of "Mattie." After the death of Capt.
Boulger had gone down as usual to the city, but in consideration of Lady Kelsey's urgent request, set out at once to see her. He had changed little during the last four years, and had still a boyish look on his round, honest face. To Mrs. Crowley he seemed always an embodiment of British philistinism; and if she liked him for his devotion to Lucy, she laughed at him for his stolidity.
Crowley came to sit with Lady Kelsey, and together they watched the minute hand go round the clock. Now the verdict might be expected at any moment. After some time Canon Spratte, the vicar of the church which Lady Kelsey attended, sent up to ask if he might see her; and Mrs. Crowley, thinking to distract her, asked him to come in.
'They buy their linen at Doucet's and read Herbert Spencer with avidity. And what's more, they seem to like him. An Englishwoman can seldom read a serious book without feeling a prig, and as soon as she feels a prig she leaves off her corsets.

Crowley left the elder woman to her own devices, her thoughts went to Alec. She wondered where he was, and if he already knew that his name was more prominently than ever before the public. MacKenzie was travelling down from Lancashire. He was not a man who habitually read papers, and it was in fact only by chance that he saw a copy of the Daily Mail.
And then the pitiful spectacle of those two men trying to throw the blame on one another! A look of terror came into Mrs. Crowley's face. 'You don't think he's guilty? she gasped. Dick looked at her steadily, but did not answer. 'But Lucy's convinced that he'll be acquitted. 'I wonder. 'What on earth do you mean? Dick shrugged his shoulders. 'But he can't be guilty, cried Mrs. Crowley.
