All she wanted, Dowie found out as the days went by, was to be quiet and to give no trouble. No other desires on earth had been left to her. Her life had not taught her to want many things. And now : "Oh! please don't be unhappy! If I could only keep you from being unhappy until it is over!" she broke out all unconsciously one day. And then was smitten to the heart by the grief in Dowie's face.
That such houses should have heads to succeed to their dignities was a simple reverential belief of Dowie's and apart from all other feeling the charge she had undertaken wore to her somewhat the aspect of a religious duty. His lordship was as one who had a place on a sort of altar. "It's because he's so high in his way that he can bear it," was her thought. "He's so high that nothing upsets him.
Do you believe me, Dowie? Would Mademoiselle believe me if she is alive for Oh! I believe she is dead! Would you both believe me?" Dowie's work fell upon the rug and she held out both her comfortable nursing arms, choking: "Come here, my lamb," she cried out, with suddenly streaming eyes. "Come and sit on your old Dowie's knee like you used to do in the nursery." "You do believe me you do!"
Robin sat and looked at the pictures. When she turned a page and looked at it she turned it again and looked at it with dwelling eyes. Presently she ceased turning pages and sat still with the book open on her lap as if she were thinking not only of what she held but of something else. When her eyes lifted to meet Dowie's there was a troubled wondering look in them.
The world's heart's so wicked. I know, poor lamb. Her Dowie knows. And her left like this!" It was when her thoughts reached this point that the tear would gather in the corner of her eye and would have trickled down her cheek if she had not turned away towards the window. But above all things she told herself she must present only Dowie's face when she reached Eaton Square.
It is necessary that you should be calm enough to think and understand. Will you try? It is for Donal's sake." "I will try," she answered, but her amazed eyes still yearningly wondered at the Duchess. Her arm had felt almost like Dowie's. "Which of us shall begin to explain to her?" the Duchess questioned. "Will you? It may be better." They were going to take care of her.
Everything has been seeming as if it were a dream everything myself everybody even you you!" And the small hand clutched her hard. A large lump climbed into Dowie's throat but she managed it bravely. "It's no use telling people they're thin," she answered with stout good cheer. "It doesn't help to put flesh on them. And there are a good many young ladies working themselves thin in these days.
I wakened just after sunrise, and I heard a skylark singing high up in the sky. I went out to listen and say my prayers," she said. "You don't know what the moor is like, Dowie, until you stand out on it at sunrise." She met Dowie's approach half way and slipped her arms round her neck and kissed her several times.
"I must convince her that she is not ." It was the beginning of what the Duchess had meant to say, but she actually found herself pausing, held for the moment by Dowie's quiet, civil eye. "Was your grace in your kindness thinking ?" was what the excellent woman said. "Yes. That I would invite young people to meet her help them to know each other and to make friends."
Once two young baggages were left to have tea with her and they talked to her about divorce scandals and corespondents. She never wanted to see them again." Dowie's face set itself in lines of perfectly correct inexpressiveness and she added, "They set her asking me questions I couldn't answer. And she broke down because she suddenly understood why.
