There was only a minute to spare when she came out of the room. Maria was waiting for her. Euneece said, as quietly as ever: "Go and call Miss Gracedieu." The girl looked at her, and saw I don't know what. Maria became alarmed. But she went up the stairs, and returned in haste to tell us that her young mistress was coming down.
He asked me to write a few lines of reply to his father; declaring that his marriage with Helena was broken off that he had not given up all hope of being permitted to offer the sincere expression of his penitence to Euneece and that he would gladly claim his welcome, as soon as he was well enough to undertake the journey to Ireland.
He had chosen it himself, when he first came to stay with us, because the window opened into the garden, and he could slip out and smoke at any hour of the day or night, when he pleased. "Who is with him now?" was the next strange thing this sadly-changed girl said to me. "Maria is taking her turn," I answered; "she assists in nursing Philip." "Where is ?" Euneece got no further than that.
Her dreadful purpose had not been given up, even yet. The doctor came in the evening, as he had promised, and found an improvement in Philip's health. I mentioned what precautions we had taken, and that they had been devised by Euneece. "Are you going to withdraw from the case?" I asked. "I am coming back to the case," he answered, "to-morrow morning."
With the removal of the cloth, she recovered the use of her tongue; and she hit on the one subject of all others which proves to be the sorest trial to my father's patience. "And now, dear cousin, let us talk of your other daughter, our absent Euneece. I do so long to see her. When is she coming back?" "In a few days more." "How glad I am! And do tell me which is she?
But there are occasions when even a cultivated lady fails in her grammar, and almost envies the men their privilege of swearing when they are in a rage. My state of mind is truly indescribable. Grief mingles with anger, when I tell you that my sweet Euneece has disappointed me, for the first time since I had the happiness of knowing and admiring her.
Gracedieu was speaking of Euneece, did he say nothing of Helena's infamous conduct to her sister?" Not the slightest hint of any such thing, I assured her, had reached my ears. "Then," she cried, "I can tell you what he has forgotten! We kept as much of that miserable story to ourselves as we could, in mercy to him.
My first clear idea was to get away from both the women, and consider what was to be done next. I bowed and begged to be excused and said I was in a hurry, all in a breath. Hearing this, the best of genial old maids was unable to restrain her curiosity. "Where are you going?" she asked. Too confused to think of an excuse, I said I was going to the farm. "To see my dear Euneece?"
But how can I see the sad sight of your wretchedness, and not feel the impulse to try again? I have gone to the hotel to find Philip, and to bring him back to you a penitent and faithful man. Wait for me, and hope for great things. A. hundred thousand kisses to my sweet Euneece. Wait for her, after reading that note! How could she expect it? I had only to follow her, and to find Philip.
"Oh, how difficult it seems to be! Quite beyond my poor brains! I shall ask the dear girl's leave to call her Euneece. What very strong soup! Isn't it rather a waste of meat? Give me a little more, please." I discovered another of Miss Jillgall's peculiarities. Her appetite was enormous, and her ways were greedy. You heard her eat her soup.
