The door being duly opened, nobody appeared on the house-step. Joseph looked into the letter-box, and found a note addressed to his mistress, in his master's handwriting. He immediately delivered it. Hitherto, Mrs. Gallilee had only been anxious. Not without reason to do her justice. Mr. Gallilee's method of relieving his wife's anxiety was remarkable by its brevity.
The landlady was kneeling by him, looking at his injured hand; and the lodgers were saying, "Send him to the hospital." On Monday morning, the strain on Mrs. Gallilee's powers of patient endurance came to an end. With the help of Mr. Null's arm, she was able to get downstairs to the library. On Tuesday, there would be no objection to her going out for a drive. Mr.
Before the conversation could proceed, they were interrupted by the appearance of Mrs. Gallilee's maid, with a message from the schoolroom. Miss Maria wanted a little help in her Latin lesson. Noticing Carmina's letter, as she advanced to the door, it struck Miss Minerva that the woman might deliver it. "Is Mrs. Gallilee at home?" she asked. Mrs. Gallilee had just gone out.
Zo's narrative of what had happened, on the evening of Teresa's arrival, had produced its inevitable effect on the maid's mind. Strengthening, by the sympathy which it excited, her grateful attachment to Carmina, it had necessarily intensified her dislike of Mrs. Gallilee and Mrs. Gallilee's innocent husband had profited by that circumstance! Unexpectedly tried by time, Mr.
Gallilee's strength of mind as I was about to say, if you had listened to me resisted the shock. What the effort must have cost her you will presently understand. Our interesting young lady was accompanied by a hideous old foreign woman who completely lost her head. Put yourself in Mrs. Gallilee's place " "I couldn't do it," said Mr. Le Frank, with humility.
Gallilee's resolution to assert his paternal authority, in spite of his wife, had failed him. The same timidity which invents a lie in a hurry, can construct a stratagem at leisure. Marceline had discovered her master putting a plan of escape, devised by himself, to its first practical trial before the open wardrobe of his daughters and had asked slyly if she could be of any use.
Gallilee's object being attained, she made no attempt to help him. "Perhaps, time will show," she answered discreetly. "Good-bye again with best wishes for the success of the song." The solitude of her own room was no welcome refuge to Carmina, in her present state of mind. She went on to the schoolroom. Miss Minerva was alone.
It contained nothing more important than a few lines from a daily governess, whom she had engaged until a successor to Miss Minerva could be found. In obedience to Mrs. Gallilee's instructions, the governess would begin her attendance at ten o'clock on the next morning. The second letter was of a very different kind. It related the disaster which had befallen Mr. Le Frank. Mr. Null was the writer.
Her master admired her; her master was no ordinary man it might end in his marrying her. On his way to the telegraph office, Benjulia left Ovid's letters at Mrs. Gallilee's house. If he had personally returned them, he would have found the learned lady in no very gracious humour.
"I entirely agree with you," he wrote to Mr. Mool. "I go back with your clerk; the cab will drop me at Mrs. Gallilee's house." Mr. Mool turned to the clerk. "Did you wait to hear if Mrs. Gallilee was at home?" he asked. "Mrs. Gallilee was absent, sir attending a lecture." "What did Doctor Benjulia do?" "Went into the house, to wait her return." Mrs. The new visitor was Mr. Le Frank.
