"The doctor has told us that it would do your husband no harm to say before me what he has already told Lord Woodruff," said Mr Elliot to her. "I was rejoiced to hear that he is doing so well. It was a most shameful, brutal, and cowardly attack, and we are most anxious that the offender should be brought to justice." "Yes, sir," said the woman.
She did indeed see Susan murmuring to Mrs. Elliot, while Arthur stared at her with complete confidence in his own love. Both Rachel and Evelyn then began to listen to what Susan was saying.
Stumbling hastily to his feet he confronted Dr. Miles Elliot. "Wassamatter?" he demanded, in the thick tones of interrupted sleep. "What are you poking me in the ribs for?" "McBurney's point," observed the visitor agreeably. "Now, if you had appendicitis, you'd have yelped. You haven't got appendicitis." "Much obliged," grumped Mr. Ellis. "Couldn't you tell me that without a cane?"
"I guess we'd better be gitting along," said he, "if we want to catch Jedge Fulsom in his office before he goes to dinner." Lydia turned obediently. "I'm coming," she said. Then to Elliot: "No; there is no one to to advise me. I am obliged to decide for myself."
So Mrs. Field stood back and waited, while her neighbor pushed forward to the counter. After a little she drew the letter from her pocket and studied the superscription. The post-mark was Elliot. She supposed the letter to be from her dead sister's father-in-law, who lived there. "I may jest as well open it an' see what it is while I'm waitin'," she thought.
But Mary did not give into it very graciously, whether from not considering Captain Benwick entitled by birth and situation to be in love with an Elliot, or from not wanting to believe Anne a greater attraction to Uppercross than herself, must be left to be guessed. Anne's good-will, however, was not to be lessened by what she heard.
"If she reproaches you, tell her that Lord Elliot wishes to be remembered to her; that he will return in eight days with her carriage." "But she will dismiss me from her service, my lord." "Wait patiently for eight days, and then you shall enter mine. And now, away with you!" The coachman dared not answer, and soon disappeared with his horses.
Colonel Wallis declined sitting down again, and Mr Elliot was invited by Elizabeth and Miss Carteret, in a manner not to be refused, to sit between them; and by some other removals, and a little scheming of her own, Anne was enabled to place herself much nearer the end of the bench than she had been before, much more within reach of a passer-by.
Both had been greatly stimulated by the recent work of Elliot Smith and Rivers upon what was then known as the Heliolithic culture. It had revived their interest in Avebury and Stonehenge. The doctor moreover had been reading Hippisley Cox's GREEN ROADS OF ENGLAND. Neither gentleman had ever seen Avebury, but Dr. Martineau had once visited Stonehenge.
"Indeed, my dear Mrs Smith, I want none," cried Anne. "You have asserted nothing contradictory to what Mr Elliot appeared to be some years ago. This is all in confirmation, rather, of what we used to hear and believe. I am more curious to know why he should be so different now."
