James the housekeeper in her simplest communication with Dowie quite touched that respectable person's heart. "She's a young lady," Mrs. James remarked to Dowie. "And a credit to you and her governess, Mrs. Dowson. Young ladies have gone almost out of fashion." "Mademoiselle Valle had spent her governessing days among the highest. My own places were always with gentle-people.
Her almost awed countenance told him what she felt she must know or perish. He felt that she had her rights and one of them was the right to be told. She had been a strong tower of honest faith and love. "My lord, might I ask if you have told him all about it?" "Yes, Dowie," he answered. "All is well and no one but ourselves will ever know.
These displays attracted widespread attention, and indeed Dowie neglected nothing in his efforts to make a deep and lasting impression on the public mind. Here is the account of an eye-witness: The prophet speaks. The audience preserves a religious silence. His voice has a quality so strange as to be startling.
Later she begged Dowie not to come to her in the night if she heard sounds in her room. "It will not hurt you so much if you don't see me," she said. "I'm used to being by myself. When I was at Eaton Square I used to hide my face deep in the pillow and press it against my mouth. No one heard. But no one was listening as you will be. Don't come in, Dowie darling. Please don't!"
And they went out of the Tower room together, but before she followed her Dowie slipped aside and quietly opened the window. Coombe House had been transformed into one of the most practical nursing homes in London.
James if it will be convenient to her to let Dowie go with me for an hour?" "Yes," as kindly as before. "For two hours if you like. I shall not drive this afternoon." "Thank you," said Robin and went out of the room as quietly as she had entered it. When the door closed the Duchess was smiling at Lord Coombe. "I understand her," she said.
But it was when the arm released her and they stood apart and looked at each other that she felt the shock in full force while Robin continued her greetings. "Did you leave Henrietta and the children quite well?" she was saying. "Is the new baby a pretty one?" Dowie had not been one of those who had seen the gradual development of the physical change in her. It came upon her suddenly.
Whatsoever had happened to her, whatsoever was going to happen to her, she would make no sound. She would outwardly be affectionate, pretty-mannered Miss Robin just as Dowie herself would give all her strength to trying to seem to be nothing and nobody but Dowie. And what it would cost of effort to do it well!
I wish you to see that she has a pretty little frock or so which she could wear if she required them." "She has two, your grace," Dowie smiled affectionately as she said it. "One for evening and one for special afternoon wear in case your grace needed her to attend you for some reason. They are as plain as she dare make them, but when she puts one on she can't help giving it A LOOK."
On the occasion when her mother saw her, she realized that she was not at least going to look like a barmaid. At no period of her least refulgent moment did she verge upon this type. Dowie took care of her and Mademoiselle Valle educated her with the assistance of certain masters who came to give lessons in German and Italian.
