Indeed, when at last the dark curls rested on the pillow, and the childish face softened in slumber, she looked so like Aunt Eunice's lost "little John," that the lady stooped and kissed her for his sake. But she confided to the faithful Widow Sprigg, who had also watched and waited: "I'm afraid, Susanna, that our peaceful days are over.
"I have seen that face before," said he, looking at the likeness of Eunice Seabright Volrees-Bluefield reproduced in one of the papers. He now turned to the reading matter, taking note of a column that had blue marks calling attention thereto. This was an account of Eunice's trial and contained in full the words of Tiara in court on that occasion.
The very directness of Stone's pertinent questions seemed to compel Eunice's truthful answers, and she said: "Of course I was! But that " "Eunice, hush!" broke in Elliott, with a pained look. "Don't say such things, dear, it can do no good, and may injure your case." "Not with me," Stone declared.
"Where is he?" asked the father, with his ruminant quiet, pulling off first one sleeve of his overcoat, and pausing for Eunice's answer before he pulled off the other. "He's up in his room, resting from the effort." She laughed nervously, and her father made no comment. He took off his articles, and then went creaking upstairs to Dan's room.
But, well, Sanford didn't make Eunice's life a bed of roses nor did she go out of her way to please him!" "Mr. Embury was often a guest here?" "He was not! Eunice came here, against his will against his expressed commands." "Oho! She did! And her visit here night before last that was an act of insubordination?" "It was! I wouldn't tell this but it's sure to come out.
In the kitchen below, with a scared look upon her face, Eunice washed and wiped her dishes, and wondered if Richard would get home in time for the funeral, and if he would order from Camden a metallic coffin such as Minnie Dayton had been buried in; and Eunice's tears fell like rain as she thought how terrible it was to die so young, and unprepared, too, as she heard Mrs.
"It is done," she answered. "What did he say?" "He said: 'My darling, if I could be fonder of you than ever, I should be fonder of you now." I have been blamed for being too ready to confide to Philip the precious trust of Eunice's happiness. If that reply does not justify me, where is justification to be found? Later in the day, Mrs. Tenbruggen arrived to offer her congratulations.
They were dated back as far as Eunice's first meeting with Manston, and the early ones before their marriage contained the usual pretty effusions of women at such a period of their existence. Some little time after he had made her his wife, and when he had come to Knapwater, the series began again, and now their contents arrested her attention more forcibly.
There is Eunice's character, drawn from the life in few words. In what an irritating position do I find myself placed! Never before have I felt so interested in trying to look into a person's secret mind; and never before have I been so completely baffled. I had written as far as this, and was on the point of closing my Journal, when a third note arrived from Mrs. Tenbruggen.
Nor did she want to, for it was not Eunice's way to go out alone at night. But she was desperate and, moreover, she was exceedingly angry. Sanford was unjust and unkind. Also, he had been cross and ugly, and had left her in anger, a thing that had never happened before. And she wanted some money at once.
