"It was no doubt a stupid thing to say at such a time; and it seemed to annoy her. 'You are the only person concerned, she answered sharply. 'It is Mrs. Gallilee's interest that you shall never be her son's wife, or any man's wife. If she can have her way, you will live and die an unmarried woman. "This did me good: it made me angry. I began to feel like myself again.
It begins with the shock to her brain, on the day when Teresa removed her to this house and it will end, I feel confident, with the end of her illness." Mr. Gallilee's attention suddenly wandered. "Zo!" he called out, "don't touch your brother's papers." The one object that had excited the child's curiosity was the writing-table.
But for that circumstance so keenly had Marceline felt the degradation of being employed as a spy she would undoubtedly have quitted Mrs. Gallilee's service. On the way home, instead of talking pleasantly as usual, Carmina was silent and sad. Had this change in her spirits been caused by the visit to Mr. Mool? It was even so.
When Lemuel returned to the hall, Mrs. Gallilee was ascending the house-steps. He bowed profoundly, in homage to the well-preserved remains of a fine woman. "My brother will be with you directly, ma'am. Pray allow me to give you a chair." His hat was in his hand. Mrs. Gallilee's knowledge of the world easily set him down at his true value. She got rid of him with her best grace.
"Accept my best thanks, doctor. Good-day!" "If you find Baccani let me know. Another drop of ale? Are you likely to see Mrs. Gallilee soon?" "Yes if I find Baccani." "Do you ever play with children?" "I have five of my own to play with," Mr. Mool answered. "Very well. Ask for the youngest child when you go to Mrs. Gallilee's. We call her Zo. Put your finger on her spine here, just below the neck.
Miss Minerva's mind was too seriously preoccupied to notice this aggravation of her pupil's offence. One subject absorbed her attention the interview then in progress between Carmina and her aunt. How would Mrs. Gallilee's scheme prosper now? Mr. Le Frank might, or might not, consent to be Carmina's teacher. Another result, however, was certain.
Looking after the carriage as it drove away Marceline on the front seat presenting the picture of discomfort; and Carmina opposite to her, unendurably pretty and interesting, with the last new poem on her lap Mrs. Gallilee's reflections took their own bitter course. "Accidents happen to other carriages, with other girls in them. Not to my carriage, with that girl in it!
Reflection told Ovid that this was true. There was another reason for Mrs. Gallilee's silence, known only to herself. Robert was in the secret of her debts, and Robert had laid her under heavy pecuniary obligations. The very sound of his name was revolting to his amiable sister: it reminded her of that humiliating sense, known in society as a sense of gratitude.
That milliner's lowest charge for a dress which Mrs. Gallilee would despise ordinary material, my dear, and imitation lace is forty pounds. "This was a new revelation to me, and it altered my opinion of course. But I still failed to see what Mrs. Gallilee's extravagances had to do with her wicked resolution to prevent Ovid from marrying me.
The first quarterly payment of Carmina's allowance of five hundred a year had been already made, by Mool's advice. Enough was left even without the assistance which the nurse's resources would render to purchase the necessary outfit, and to take the two women to Quebec. Meanwhile, Fortune befriended Mrs. Gallilee's maid. No questions were put to her; no notice even was taken of the late return.
