"They lied about it deliberately," was Darrell's reply "Some of our friends gave little addresses of greeting; and so the newspapers called it a new kind of wedding a 'Socialist wedding', which we had designed for our new kind of unions! And now, when we buy a farm, so that we can live quietly in the country, they turn that into a 'free love colony'!" Section 13.
For Guy Darrell's sake, and to him alone, that pride she had cast away trampled upon; such humility was due to him. But when the humility had been once in vain, could it be repeated would it not be debasement? In the first experiment she had but to bow to his reproach in a second experiment she might have but to endure his contempt.
Almost before he was aware, Darrell had told all: of his vain gropings in the darkness for some clue to the past; of the helpless feeling akin to despair which sometimes took possession of him when he attempted to face the situation continuously confronting him. During his recital Mr. Britton had thrown his arm about Darrell's shoulder, and when he paused quite a silence followed.
He had at least obeyed his uncle's wise injunction he had prepared Darrell's mind to weigh the contents of a letter, which, given in the first instance, would perhaps have rendered Darrell's resolution not less stubborn, by increasing the pain to himself which the resolution already inflicted. Darrell turned and looked towards George, as if in surprise to see him still lingering there.
I believe the breach is healed between them now; but she is not all that a sister ought to be to him. 'Perhaps Miss Darrell usurps her place, I replied a little incautiously, but I saw my mistake at once. Mrs. Maberley was evidently a devout believer in Miss Darrell's merits.

The proposal of the venerable peeress was at first very naturally gratifying to Darrell.

Darrell was about to marry again, my project was necessarily arrested."
He refrained from any separate and private communication of Waife's state to Lady Montfort, lest the sadness it would not fail to occasion her should be perceptible to Sophy, and lead her to divine the cause. So he contented himself with saying that Waife had accompanied him to Mr. Darrell's, and would be detained there, treated with all kindness and honour, for some days.
Confound Guy Darrell's ancestors, they have spoilt Queen Victoria as good a young soldier as ever wore a sword by his side! Six months ago, and how blithely Lionel Haughton looked forth to the future! all laurel! no cypress! And now I feel as if I had shaken hands with a victim sacrificed by Superstition to the tombs of the dead.
And the worst of it was, they seemed to hold me I couldn't take my eyes from his. He was as kind and courteous as could be, I'll admit that, but even the touch of his fingers made me shiver." Darrell's face had darkened during Kate's recital, but he controlled his anger. "Now, was that due to my own imagination or to some uncanny spell of his?" Kate insisted.
