Neither the sense of pleasure nor that of pain, with Lady Agnes as indeed with most of the persons with whom this history is concerned was a liberation of chatter; so that for a minute all she said again was, "I think of Sir Nicholas and wish he were here"; addressing the words to Julia, who had wandered forward without looking at the mother and son. "Poor Sir Nicholas!" said Mrs. Dallow vaguely.
Of course, however, as you say, there ought to be a certainty; then they're surer to know it. Dormer's a dear fellow, but he's rash and superficial." Mrs. Dallow, at this incitement, turned her glance a second time on her visitor; but during the rest of the conversation she rarely repeated the movement.
Dallow that he wanted her to know an old friend of his, one of the cleverest men he knew; and he added the hope that she would be gentle and encouraging with him; he was so timid and so easily disconcerted. Mr. Nash hereupon dropped into a chair by the arm of her sofa, their companion went away, and Mrs. Dallow turned her glance upon her new acquaintance without a perceptible change of position.
"What then will you do without arrangements?" The inquiry was plaintive and childlike. "We shall do nothing there's nothing to be done. We're not to be married it's all off," said poor Nick. Then he added: "Mrs. Dallow has gone abroad." The old man, motionless among his pillows, gave a long groan. "Ah I don't like that." "No more do I, sir." "What's the matter? It was so good so good."
They remained there a little; he continued to look at the animals and before long added: "Delightful English pastoral scene. Why do they say it won't paint?" "Who says it won't?" "I don't know some of them. It will in France; but somehow it won't here." "What are you talking about?" Mrs. Dallow demanded.
I know he invited you." Peter declined with a quick gesture and as he turned away he heard her call after him, to cheer him on his lonely walk: "I shall keep this up; I shall never lose sight of her!" When Mrs. Dallow returned to London just before London broke up the fact was immediately known in Calcutta Gardens and was promptly communicated to Nick Dormer by his sister Bridget.
It was circular, roofed with old tiles, surrounded by white columns and considerably dilapidated. George Dallow had taken an interest in it it reminded him not in the least of Rome, but of other things he liked and had amused himself with restoring it. "Give me your hand sit there and I'll ferry you," Nick said.
Nick added a remark to the effect that Julia would remember to have had the pleasure of meeting her the year before in Paris, that day at old Peter's; to which Mrs. Dallow made answer, "Ah yes," without any qualification, while she looked down at some rather rusty studies on panels ranged along the floor and resting against the base of the wall.
Dallow put her elbows on the table one felt she could be trusted to get them safely off again. For a family in mourning the dinner was lively; the more so that before it was half over Julia had arranged that her brother, eschewing the inferior spectacle, should take the girls to the Théâtre Français.
There had been something in it that went to his head an element that his mother and his sisters, his father from beyond the grave, Julia Dallow, the Liberal party and a hundred friends, were both secretly and overtly occupied in pumping into it.
