Wentworth has hoped for years that he might bring your mother also into the fold?" "Yes." "And you are her only child?" "Yes." Father Frontford cast down his eyes; then raised them to flash a glance of vivid intelligence upon Ashe. Then again he looked down. "I think that you had better run down and see your mother," he said.
So much was Maurice absorbed in his thought of the will and his inquiries after it that he gave little consideration to the disquieting plan of Father Frontford for the securing of Miss Morison's cooperation in the election schemes.
