There did not seem to have ever been handkerchiefs in the world even all-linen, warranted ones! "This is Eldorado!" she said aloud, and was proud of herself for finding it so soon coming straight to it! Lucky she had been the one to draw the longest strip. She passed one or two houses, but none of them were painted green. She said to herself she would keep on to "Emmeline's" house.
When he disclosed to Helen his evil success in the coalpit, it was but the merest film of a hope it destroyed, for she KNEW that her brother was guilty. George and she now felt that they were linked by the possession of a common, secret. But the cloak had been found a short time before, and was in the possession of Emmeline's mother.
The same moment the thought was a resolve. I must mention that no one whatever knew the degree of his intimacy with Emmeline, or that he had any ground for considering her engaged to him. Secrecy added much to the zest of Emmeline's pleasures. Everyone knew that he was a devoted admirer but therein to be classed with a host.
Nor did he deem it hypocritical to seek to maintain his elevation in her soft soul, by simulating supreme philosophy over offended love. Nor did he know that he had an angel with him then: a blind angel, and a weak one, but one who struck upon his chance. "Am I pardoned for coming to you?" she said, after a pause. "Surely I can read my Emmeline's intentions," he gently replied. "Very poor ones.
Just as a child by unanswerable logic knows that a fire which has burned him once will burn him again, or will burn another person, he knew that just as the form before him was, his form would be some day and Emmeline's. Then came the vague question which is born not of the brain, but the heart, and which is the basis of all religions where shall I be then?
In February, a week after a convention of the people was called at Richmond, the old gentleman surrendered to a sharp siege of the gout, and through the long winter days he sat, red and querulous, before the library fire, with his bandaged foot upon the ottoman that wore Aunt Emmeline's wedding dress.
This placid lake, over which the dinghy was pursuing the running ripple, was heaving to an imperceptible swell and breaking on the shores of the Low Archipelago, and the Marquesas in foam and thunder. Emmeline's rag-doll was a shocking affair from a hygienic or artistic standpoint.
Where is my Emmeline's firm, devoted faith in that merciful Father, who for so many years has gilded her lot with such unchecked happiness. Darker clouds are now indeed for a time around you, but His blessing will remove them, love; trust still in Him."
Hamilton knew well there were very few young men who would have acted as he had done, when conscious that his affection was returned with all the enthusiasm and devotedness of a disposition such as Emmeline's.
This very undesirable parentage naturally affected Emmeline's opinion of Louise, whose faults began to show in a more pronounced light. One thing was clear: but for the fact that Louise aimed at a separation from her relatives, it would be barely possible to think of receiving her. If Mrs. Higgins thought of coming down to Sutton at unexpected moments no, that was too dreadful.
