Her attendance was of the kind which inspires trust; Lydia, always fretting herself into the extreme of nervousness if her dear one lost for a day the wonted health, was thankful she had not to depend on Mrs. Jarmey's offices. Thyrza had spent a day in bed, but could now sit by the fire; her chair came from the Grails' parlour, and was the very one which had always seemed to her so comfortable.
They who are set down in print as such have been mostly business men with newly invented methods. They have been out after the things they wanted golden fleeces, holy grails, lady loves, treasure, crowns and fame. The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate. A fine example was the Prodigal Son when he started back home.
Egremont found that she had in truth nowhere else to go, and as it was desirable that someone should remain upon the premises, he engaged her to do so until the Grails entered into possession. As soon as painters, plasterers, and paperhangers were out of the way, Grail and Thyrza went to the house to decide what furniture it would be necessary to buy.

Instinct told her that the child would be waiting upstairs alone, and not in the Grails' room. She flew up. Thyrza rose from a chair and met her. Not, however, with the outburst of childish rapture which Lydia had anticipated. Their parts were reversed.
Lydia said she would go out whilst Thyrza was with the Grails; she had promised to see someone. Thyrza did not ask who it was. When she came upstairs again the other had not yet returned. She was yet a quarter of an hour away. Then she appeared with signs of haste. 'I was afraid you'd be here alone, she said. 'But have you had tea, Lyddy? 'Yes. This 'yes' was said rather mysteriously.
