"I don't know," said he, and looked at Jael Dence like a person watching for orders. Mrs. Little observed this, and turned keenly round to Jael. "Oh," said Jael, "the doctor I beg pardon, Dr. Amboyne can tell you that better than I can. It is a long way to Australia." "How you send me from one to another," said Mrs. Little, speaking very slowly. They made no reply to that, and Mrs.
So Jael Dence lodged with a female cousin in Hillsborough, and filled a position of trust in the factory of Bolt and Little: she packed, and superintended, and the foreman paid her thirty shillings a week. The first time this was tendered her she said severely, "Is this right, young man?" meaning, "Is it not too much?" "Oh, you will be raised if you stay with us three months."
Little, and looked from him to Jael Dence, at first with amazement, and afterward with a strange expression that showed her mind was working. A sort of vague alarm fell upon the other two, and they waited, in utter confusion, for what might follow. But the mother was not ready to suspect so horrible a thing as her son's death.
Having come to this resolution, he was now seized with a fear that he would be assassinated before he could carry it out; to diminish the chances, he took up his quarters at the factory, and never went out at night. Attached to the works was a small building near the water-side. Jael Dence occupied the second floor of it.
With that fine sense of justice which belongs to love, he spoke roughly to Jael Dence. She stared, and said nothing, but watched him furtively, and saw his eyes fill with tears at the picture memory recalled of Grace's pale face and streaming eyes.
"Can you not trust me with a secret?" "Oh yes," said Raby, "provided you will promise faithfully to tell no one." Grace promised, and he then told her that Jael Dence, in a moment of desperation, had thrown herself into the river at the back of his house. "Poor girl!" said he, "her brain was not right at the time. Heaven keep us all from those moments of despair.
There was a silent sympathy which Frado felt attracted her, and she opened her heart to the presence of love that arbitrary and inexorable tyrant. She removed to Singleton, her former resi- dence, and there was married. Here were Fra- do's first feelings of trust and repose on human arm. She realized, for the first time, the relief of looking to another for comfortable support.
And remember, she is not a man. She is a poor girl, full of shame and apprehension, and needs a gentle encouraging hand to draw her here. Do, for once, put yourself in a woman's place you were born of a woman." "You are right," said Raby. "I will send down a carriage for her, with a line in my own hand." He did so. At eleven the servant came back with the news that Jael Dence was not at home.
Jael Dence slept on a camp-bed in Mrs. Little's room, which was very spacious, and watched her, and was always about her. Under private advice from Dr. Amboyne, she superintended her patient's diet, and, by soft, indomitable perseverance, compelled her to walk every day, and fight against her fatal lassitude.
Amboyne and Raby cried out, and tried to interfere; but Grace's movement was too swift, furious, and sudden; she was upon the man, with her stiletto high in the air, before they could get to her, and indeed the blow descended, and, inspired as it was by love, and hate, and fury, would doubtless have buried the weapon in a rascal's body; but Jael Dence caught Grace's arm: that weakened, and also diverted the blow; yet the slight, keen weapon pierced Coventry's cheek, and even inflicted a slight wound upon the tongue.
