And the tale was already spreading far and wide to the Urquharts at Five Creeks, to Mr Thornycroft at Bundaboo, to Mr Goldsworthy and his parishioners, to the editor of the local paper so that soon the family friends were arriving, to press Mary's hand and condole with her to show her how she had risen in the world, as a woman in the eyes of all.
It was all in gala dress newly-arranged flowers, festive lunch-table, the best foot foremost; and yet, whereas there was no hiding the self-seeker in the ingratiating Bennet Goldsworthy, there was no finding him in this proud host and husband, whose desire was only to do his dear wife credit. Neither of them said, in word or manner, "Why didn't you come like this before?"
"Yes, yes I know; but you must consider the silly way that he's been reared. I don't like his taking upon himself to criticise what we choose to do; but no doubt Goldsworthy IS a pretty big pill to swallow to a chap like him, always so faddy about breeding and manners, and that sort of thing."
Willy Gum departed for London, and entered on his engagement in the great banking-house of Goldsworthy and Co. How he went on in it Calne could not get to learn, though it was moderately inquisitive upon the point. His father and mother heard from him occasionally; and once the clerk took a sudden and rather mysterious journey to London, where he stayed for a whole week.
Deb coloured and frowned "that is not what I was going to say." I thought it had all been forgotten long ago." "It has been unpleasantly revived," said Mr Goldsworthy solemnly. "And it is my duty to tell you about it, if you have not heard." Deb looked equally annoyed and alarmed. "What has been revived?" she asked. He dropped his voice apologetically.
