'And the Elvedons too are very grateful, continued her father, 'for besides what they knew was to be theirs, she has left them her town house a much better one than they have had hitherto. Then her favourite charities have no reason to complain; she has forgotten nothing and no one' Again he hesitated, and for some undefined reason Jacinth's heart began to beat faster.
But your father has told me that the Elvedons are sure to inherit some of it, and that is quite right. 'And, said Camilla, with a little effort, anxious to show her mother that she did wish to be quite 'fair-judging, 'you know, Fitz, as we have often said, if our grandfather, being what he was, had got his share, it is most improbable that any of it would have come to father.
'I said it wasn't an uncommon name; that sounds quite different. 'Possibly the Harpers at Miss Scarlett's may be some connection distant, probably of the Elvedons, said Miss Mildmay, carelessly. 'But of course it is not, as Jacinth says, an uncommon name. But her remark set Frances's imagination to work. 'They are very, very nice girls the nicest at the school, she said.
'But that needn't that would not signify, Lady Myrtle began, though with evident difficulty in expressing herself, while Mrs Mildmay's heart beat faster as she realised that they were approaching 'the tug of war. 'I you must know it is only natural; and with other confused expressions about Jacinth being to her 'as her own child, 'no one of her own kith or kin except the Elvedons, whose affairs were long ago definitely arranged, and references to her unforgotten devotion to the Jacinth of her youth, the old lady plunged into the thick of things.
But still I'm sure it's better for Jacinth not to know about it till I hear what mother says. You see she may be invited to Lady Myrtle's any day, and if anything about the Elvedons or our family was said, it would be impossible for her not to feel uncomfortable and and not open, you know, unless she told what Margaret told you, and that might be just what father would dislike.
It is entirely connected with the Morelands. 'I wonder how she and our grandmother came to be such friends, said Jacinth. 'Lady Myrtle's old home was near here, and the Morelands didn't belong to this neighbourhood. 'No, but the Elvedons have another place in the north near your grandmother's old home, said Miss Mildmay, who was very well posted up in such matters.
I don't suppose she means to leave everything to the Elvedons, for a good deal would have been her own share in any case, and a good deal her husband must have left her. By the bye, I have always forgotten to ask Miss Scarlett if the Harper girls she has, or had some one said they had left were any relation to the Elvedon family. Nice girls, evidently, but very badly off, I fancy.
'I wonder, she went on, 'I wonder if those Harpers are any relation to the Elvedons? I can't quite remember what Miss Scarlett said about them. It was their mother she was interested in, though not their father. If they were Elvedon Harpers, Lady Myrtle would know about them; at least' 'Harper isn't at all an uncommon name, interrupted Jacinth.
