She still resented the treatment of Hubert Delrio, and she was devoted to her study of nursing at the Dearport Sisterhood; but Magdalen thought it right to take Thekla, and give her the advantages of improvement in languages, and the sight of fine scenery. And certainly Rocca Marina was a wonderful place for marriages.
The flash of the match revealed a mass of light disordered heads, and likewise a black figure in the doorway. 'Here is a kind helper for you, Wilmet, said Mr. Audley, 'from St. Faith's, at Dearport. You must call her Sister Constance. Wilmet did rise now, in some consternation, lifting her little brother, whose hand was still in the locks, the tangling of which had been his solace.
Now they seem to have grown very rich the American Vice-Consul, who came over this morning from Dearport, knew all about them and they came home partly on business, and partly to leave Fernando to be made into an English gentleman, who, Mr. Travis says, if he has money to spend, does whip creation. He's English enough for that still.
'It looks as if it had strayed out of the Dearport Hermes. I'd not have had this happen for ten thousand pounds! Clap-trap about fat rectors and starved curates! Jackman's writing, I'd lay any wager! 'You don't think he did it? 'Smith? Muddled his accounts! Nothing more likely; charges like this are not got up without some grounds of some sort; but as to intentional fraud, that's utter nonsense.
'I wish I could stay, but Smith is gone to Dearport, and I do not know whether the Rector is in. Besides, this must be your own doing, Fernan, not mine. I shall pray for you, that you well know.

'Having so often carried the calf I should be able to carry the cow, he said, the smile not disguising the panting of his voice. 'You are to be at the agricultural meeting at Dearport tomorrow.
"She is to sink down into Miss Marian Jenkins, to wear a straw hat and blue frock, and go to school with the other girls, the pupils, while Sister Beata begins life as a probationer at Dearport." "Poor Sister Beata!" "She says she has experienced that it is best to learn to obey before one begins to rule. It is most touching to see how humble she is. Such a real good woman too!
"A steady, not a fitful flame," said Angela. "But she is so young." "If you will believe me, Magdalen, such a home as that Dearport Sisterhood is a precious thing I have not been worthy of it. I have been a wild colt, carried about by all manner of passing excitements. Oh, dear! love of sheer fun and daring enterprise, and amusement, in shocking every one, even my very dearest, whom I loved best.
