Through the thin wall which separated the school-room from the study came the sound of Mary's scales. Mary was by nature a child of wrath, as far as music was concerned, and Fräulein anxious, musical Fräulein was strenuously endeavoring to impart to her pupil the rudiments of what was her chief joy in life. "'Modern Dissent," read aloud Mr. Gresley, "by Veritas." "Veritas!" repeated Hester.
Hester involuntarily came to his assistance. "Well, perhaps I ought to look at my letters. By the way, there ought to be a large package for me from Bentham. It was not with my letters. Perhaps you sent it to my room." "It did arrive," said Mr. Gresley, "and perhaps I ought to apologize, for I saw my name on it and I opened it by mistake. I was expecting some more copies of my Modern Dissent."
In a moment they were passed, and a report of cannon and field-artillery showed that the east lodge of Warpington Towers had been reached, and the solemn joy of the Pratts was finding adequate expression. "She looked rather frightened," said Mrs. Gresley. "Such a magnificent reception is alarming to a gentle, retiring nature," said Mr. Gresley.
Gresley's inquiries about the Newhavens, became suddenly interested in the temperance meeting. "I've seen many a good fellow go to the dogs through drink in the Colonies, more's the pity," Dick remarked. "I think I'll come too, James. And if you want a few plain words you call on me." "I will," said Mr. Gresley, much gratified.
If she can go out in the garden she can come to church." "I have spoken to her once," said Mr. Gresley, frowning, "and though I put it before her very plainly she showed great obstinacy. Fond as I am of Hester, I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that she has an arrogant and callous nature.
Gresley, "and that he need not be afraid, his aunt shall never come back again. When I saw his little arm I felt I could never trust Hester in the house again." As Mrs. Gresley spoke she felt she was making certainty doubly sure that the woman of whom she was jealous would return no more. "Regie cry till his 'ead ache because you say Miss Gresley no come back," said Fräulein, looking at Mrs.
"I don't think Miss Gresley can be very anxious to see you, or she would have come here when I invited her. I told several people she was coming, and that Mr. Carstairs, who thinks so much of himself, came on purpose to meet her. It is very tiresome of her to behave like that, especially as she did not say she had any engagement.
"Thank God!" said the old doctor, blowing his nose. The Devil has no stancher ally than want of perception. It takes two to speak truth one to speak and another to hear. Mrs. Gresley had passed an uncomfortable day. In the afternoon all the Pratts had called, and Mr.
Gresley wrestled with a very bitter feeling towards his sister, overcame it, and said, hoarsely: "Tell her from me that Regie is not much the worse, and tell her that I that his mother and I forgive her." "Not me, James," sobbed Mrs. Gresley. "It is too soon. I don't. I can't. If I said I did I should not feel it." "Hester is not in a condition to receive messages," said the Bishop.
I told Ada and Selina I hoped they did not expect too much from the marriage, for sometimes people who did were disappointed, but they only laughed and said Vi had promised Algy to take them out next season." "We seem to live in an atmosphere of weddings," said Mr. Gresley. "First, Dr. Brown and Fräulein, and now Algy Pratt and Lady Newhaven."
