'The feeling is reciprocated, I can assure you. 'I am glad to know that, he returned heartily.
Did I not tell you, Miss Garston, that hell had begun with me already? I was never a good woman, never, not even when I was happy and Robert loved me.
It is one of Phoebe's bad days, when nothing pleases her and she will have naught to say to us, but groan and groan until one's heart is pretty nigh broken.

We are to have Errington for a comrade on the bench and in the field down in Clayshire. His father has bought Garston Hall quite close to Melford, Lady Alice. But I suppose you know all about it."

'Ah, but you are not rebellious now: you have fought against Him all these years, but now all His waves and billows have gone over your head, and you cannot breast them alone. 'No, and I have deserved it all. I do try to pray, Miss Garston, I do indeed, but the words will not come.
Hamilton and his sisters would do without her. Ah, here we are at Maplehurst, and Tracy is looking out for us. Tracy, is the colonel at home? No, I am thankful to hear it. Poor little Flossie has met with an accident, and this lady has saved her life, but she tells me her leg is broken. Now, Miss Garston, will you believe it that I am such a coward that I could not be of the least assistance?
'Now, Leah, observed her master, in a terrible voice, 'if you are to expect any mercy at my hand you will make a clean breast; but first you will answer my question: Has Miss Garston repeated the conversation between you and Miss Etta correctly?
