They have never met since her flight from home, and, more, she has no suspicion that he ever took an interest in her save as Mr. Grail's future wife. 'She does not know that? 'She has no idea of it. They have never exchanged a more than friendly word. He believed, when absent from England, that she was already married, and of his movements since then she is wholly ignorant.
His mother just glanced at him, and presently continued: 'I do hope she won't be spoilt. She is very pretty, isn't she? But they're not girls for going out much, I can see. And Thyrza's always glad when I ask her to come and have tea with us. I suppose they haven't many friends. It was quite against Mrs. Grail's wont to interrupt thus when her son had settled down to read.
No irreparable harm was as yet done; to confess a mere state of mind would have been to fill his friend with fears wholly groundless, and to fix a lasting torture in his own memory. It would have been to render impossible any future work in Lambeth. Yet upon the continuance of such work practically depended Grail's future. To Gilbert Grail he had solemn duties to perform.
Grail's door on some paltry excuse for seeing the inside of the room, and found that the old lady exchanged brief words with her on the threshold, she wondered who these people might be who thought themselves too good for wonted neighbourship.
Impatient to get his plans completed in detail, he had resolved to come for half an hour on this same day which had been appointed for Grail's visit.
I want, if possible, to make this class permanent, to make it the beginning of a society for purposes I have in my mind. I must tell you something of this, for I know you will feel with me, Mr. Grail. The reply was a look of quiet trust. Egremont had not thought to get so far as this to-night, but Grail's personality wrought upon him, even as his on Grail.
She descended the stairs very lightly, and hastened almost on tip-toe along the passage; the front door she closed as softly as possible behind her, and went in the direction away from Mrs. Grail's parlour window. To be sure she was free to leave the house as often as she pleased, but for some vague reason she wished just now not to be observed.
Yet, as a whole, the lecture appealed to but one of the audience. Gilbert Grail heard it with emotion, and carried it away in his heart. To the others it was little more than the sounding of brass and the tinkling of cymbals. To-night Friday he was going to Grail's. Of course no ceremonious preparation was necessary, yet he wasted a couple of hours previous to his time for setting forth.
Lydia's astonishment was for the instant little less than that which had fallen upon Thyrza when she felt her hand in Grail's.
But how can I keep it from Gilbert flow? 'You can't, Lydia. He's bound to hear from somebody. And if you feel so sure that she hasn't gone 'She hasn't She hasn't! You promised me you wouldn't think harm of her. 'Indeed I won't. But Grail's bound to know. I can't see that you'll make it a bit better by denying. 'But my promise to Thyrza! The last thing she ever asked of me.
