Because she had seen his writing upon a letter Mrs. Porrit was readdressing at the orchard house and, observing it was from London, she presumed he was there, and she hoped she should see him. The Professor stopped abruptly here. "What a woman it is, after all!" he exclaimed. He himself had never noticed the postmark on John Derringham's envelope!
He had the day before received John Derringham's letter written from Wendover and which Mrs. Porrit had redirected, containing the news of the intended wedding, and it had angered him greatly. He blazed with indignation! His peerless one to be made to take a mistress's place when any man should be proud to make her his honored wife!
Cricklander wished namely, that she, the fair Cecilia, was there ready to come to him and sit up with him, and do anything in the world for him, and was only prevented by the doctor's strict orders, fearing the slightest excitement for the patient and that these orders caused her great grief. John Derringham's eyes looked grateful, but he did not speak.
There was no sight of Halcyone all the day. She was living in a paradise, but hers contained no doubts or uncertainties. She knew that indeed she had lived and breathed the night before, and found complete happiness in John Derringham's arms. That, then, was what Aphrodite had always been telling her. She knew now the meaning of the love in her eyes.
She could discover no reason for John Derringham's change towards her. Arabella had been mute and had put it down to the stress of his life.

John Derringham having been unable to keep the tryst with Halcyone was plainly the working of the hand of Fate, which did not intend that his sweet girl should occupy the invidious and humiliating position of secret wife and apparent mistress to the ambitious young man. Therefore he Arnold Carlyon had no right to assist her again into John Derringham's arms.
Derringham's capriciousness, displayed the whole of the Monday, and then at his absenting himself to-day, having gone to see the Professor, of course since he was out of the house at tea-time when she had sent to his room to enquire that she had determined to see what a little jealousy would do for him. But if he were off on the morrow this might not be a safe moment to try it. Mr.
However, their niece, having now come to years of discretion, sometimes had the pleasure of reading John Derringham's speeches and thrilled with joy over his felicitous daring and caustic wit. The Government could not last much longer, but he at least, as far as he could, would keep it full of vigor until the end.
She felt that, had she been aware that John Derringham's affections were really given elsewhere, nothing would have induced her to break off the engagement! Mr. Hanbury-Green was all very well, and was being a most exceptional lover, only this hateful humiliation and blow to her self-love mattered more than any mere man! But of such things the married two recked not at all.
