And an inner voice clamoured in reply 'Take her to those rooms? in the very middle of the struggle with those two pictures? go through all the agitation and discomfort of explanations with Lord Findon and Madame de Pastourelles? run the risk of estranging them, and of distracting your own mind from your work at this critical moment? the further risk, moreover, of Phoebe's jealousy?

If it had been through his belief in the worthlessness of astrology, that he had made his answer, we might admire his honest and fearless independence; but, when it is known that, at the very same time, he was in the constant habit of divination and fortunetelling; and that he was predicting splendid success, in all his undertakings, to the Constable of Bourbon, we can only wonder at his thus estranging a powerful friend through mere petulance and perversity.
