It occurred to all the kindest of her friends, immediately after Mrs Enderby's death, that Phoebe might be her attendant. Phoebe was not, just then, the most cheerful of nurses, so truly did she mourn her good old mistress; but she was glad of occupation, glad to be out of Mrs Rowland's way, glad to be useful: and she was an inestimable comfort to Maria.
Enderby's business was "in the City." How he had surmounted his difficulties was not very clear; his wife learned that he had brought with him from America a scheme for the utilisation of waste product in some obscure branch of manufacture, which had been so far successful as to supply him with a small capital.
If he persuades the ring to nominate him, Enderby is the logical candidate against him. In my belief he's the only man who could beat him." "Do you really think, Mr. Edmonds, that Judge Enderby's help to the arrested women is a political move?" "That's the way it would be interpreted by all the politicians. Personally, I don't believe it."
What with taking a quiet cup of tea with one acquaintance, and being at a merry reading party at another's, and Mrs Enderby's little dance, and dinner at the Levitts', there were few evenings left; and on those few evenings they were never content to be alone.

Some illumination must reach Deerbrook soon either from Mr Enderby's going to Rome, or coming here to see his mother." "Mrs Rowland said he would come here, she hoped, for his wedding journey." "She did say so, I know.
"Miss Young!" cried Fanny, "do come and help us to pick Mr Enderby's pockets. See what I have got the very largest of all!" When every pocket had been thoroughly picked without Miss Young's assistance, the table did indeed show a goodly pile of white cornucopia, that most agitating form of paper to children's eyes.
December was half through, and it was the eve of Maud Enderby's marriage-day. Everything was ready for the morrow. Waymark had been away in the South, and the house to which he would take his wife now awaited their coming. It was a foggy night. Maud had been for an hour to Our Lady of the Rosary, and found it difficult to make her way back.
"Invariably they return from encounters of this kind just as we are sitting at dinner," she explained. "Furthermore, Enderby's ditches are habitually getting clogged, and overflowing the lawn and filling the cellar, and he stands in terror of his cowboys.
