Somebody was kind, she thought more and more; for there came every day or two the most delicious bouquets, every day different. They were at least equal in their soothing and refreshing influences, to all the efforts of all the Evelyns and Mrs. Pritchard put together. There never came any name with them, and there never was any need. And his kindness was answered, perhaps Mrs.
But the Evelyns and Thorn and everybody else whom they knew left the Pool at last, before Charlton, who was sufficiently well again, had near run out his furlough; and then the cloud which had only shewed itself by turns during all those weeks gathered and settled determinately upon his brow. He had long ago supplied the want of a newspaper.
It was a needed and very useful refreshment. Charlton's being at home gave her the full good of the opportunity more than would else have been possible. He was her constant attendant, driving her to and from the Pool, and finding as much to call him there as she had; for, besides the Evelyns, his friend Thorn abode there all this time.
But how odd it would seem to him if he knew that the Evelyns had half appropriated it. And appropriate it anew, in another direction, she could not. She could not without their knowledge, and they would put their own absurd construction on what was a simple matter of kindness; she could not brave it.
"I thought I understood," said he, in an explanatory tone, "from your friends, the Miss Evelyns, that they were going." "I believe they are, and I did think of it; but I have changed my mind, and shall stay at home with Mrs. Evelyn." After some further conversation, the hour for the drive was appointed, and Mr. Carleton took leave. "Come for me twice, and Mrs.
He had thought not. Truffi did not sing, and the entertainment was of a very secondary quality. This seemed to give no uneasiness to the Miss Evelyns, for if they pouted they laughed and talked in the same breath, and that incessantly. It was nothing to Mr. Carleton, for his mind was bent on something else.
Come, won't that encourage you to make a little jaunt, just to break the spell?" "I wish it could, my dear, but it does not seem possible while those bills are such a dreadful uncertainty. I never know what Allen may have been ordering." "Surely the Evelyns would be glad to have you." "No, Jock, that can't be. Promise me that you will do nothing to lead to an invitation.
Uncle, don't listen to him! he hasn't been in a decent humour since the Evelyns went away." She knelt down before him and laid her hands upon his, and looked up in his face to bring all her plea the plea of most winning sweetness of entreaty in features yet flushed and trembling.
Do her best she could not quite escape him, and was even drawn into two or three walks and rides; in spite of denying herself utterly to gentlemen at home, and losing in consequence a visit from her old friend. She was glad at last to go to the Evelyns and see company again, hoping that Mr. Thorn would be merged in a crowd.
He has gone down hill sadly since his misfortunes. I am very sorry for them." "And his niece takes care of his farm in the meantime?" "Do you know her?" asked both the Miss Evelyns again. "I can hardly say that," he replied. "I had such a pleasure formerly. Do I understand that she is the person to fill Mr. Rossitur's place when he is away?" "So she says." "And so she acts," said Constance.
