"If they burned it it's because they had to show us how they felt that the place wasn't fit to live in! Mr. Norris, the Mill people are nice people; I heard I heard someone say that this was the only Mill in all New England where real white folks worked but they think we I mean the Forsyths don't care " Norris stood up abruptly.
I could not have believed, if any one had told me a twelvemonth before, how much I should have felt the parting with the Forsyths Nelly especially lay very near to my heart; we had had many a talk together of things above, and I sometimes dared to hope that she had grasped hold of the truth, though she was fearful of letting others know about it.
Though the Forsyths felt the loss of their eldest daughter, there was much to soften their regret at parting with her. She was not going very far away from them; she and her husband seemed exactly suited to each other in many ways, and she was going to a comfortable, luxurious home. I think too that Nelly occupied a warmer place in their hearts than Constance.
Philip's agents had known only quite recently of his illness, and were expecting to hear of his arrival in England every day. So there was nothing for me to do but wait patiently. I left Miss Rayner soon after, for the Forsyths wanted me back. 'I shall miss you, child, she said, as we were parting, 'and you must pray for me.
The Forsyths were kind, and felt for me, I knew; but my guardian was angry by the suddenness of it all, and persisted in looking upon me as being ill-treated in the matter.
I have had a lot of disagreeable business to-day, and now I feel I want relaxation and amusement. 'Why have you given up going out into society? I asked. 'Ah! Now you are turning the tables on me. But I have lived my life you have yours yet to come. Can you give me any clear reason why you should be different to the Forsyths? Is it a matter of principle? If so, what is the principle?
Hugh was off the first thing the next morning, but Miss Rayner would not allow me to go up to town with him, and it seemed the longest day that I had ever spent. Miss Rayner asked me if I would like to return to the Forsyths at once, but I shook my head. 'You are not quite strong yet, I said to her, 'and I do like being here.
That little thing of mine attached to the looms here would revolutionize the whole industry for the Forsyths. You see these Mills are way behind times in their equipment; with improved looms they could turn out more work, pay better wages, and give the men better living and working conditions.
Convinced that this infamous extravagance was part and parcel of the conspiracy, and was only the beginning of other assimilations of the Forsyths' metallic substance; that the plate was probably polished and burnished with a fulsome inscription to the doctor's skill, and would pass into the possession and adornment of a perfect stranger, her rage knew no bounds.
The name of Monteath was not unknown to the Forsyths, and Jane had seen this very youth at the Everetts' more than once, and knew that he was a great favourite in their family. Charles expressed his intention of calling on his Quaker friend, if he could find him, and also at Mr Monteath's house, to learn if any further account of his friend had arrived.
