Old Miles wrung his hands, and shouted "Help," and cried the Master was dying, was dead.
She said not a word, she made no attempt to scold; but the desolation of her tears was overwhelming. It lasted some time too long for Rowland's courage. He had stood silent, wishing simply to appear very respectful; but the elation that was mentioned a while since had utterly ebbed, and he found his situation intolerable.
During the short while she let elapse before she spoke, his confidence in the conviction-carrying power of this statement ebbed somewhat, though he hadn't seen yet what was wrong with it. "Yes," she said at last, "I think I can see Harriet's view of it.
