Rose's own point of view that a young and earnest priest, even although, unfortunately, not an Anglican, might do much good in such a position as that of the master of Groombridge Castle, would certainly not have been understood by her two companions.
For a long time the greatest observed proper motion was that of a small star 1830 Groombridge, nearly 7" a year; but others have since been found reaching as much as 10". Now the spectroscope enables the motion of stars to be detected at a single observation, but only that part of the motion that is in the line of sight.
First of all he was to be buried, torn from his friends, from his work for souls, from the joy of the Good Shepherd seeking the lost sheep. He was to lose all he loved and for which he had given up his life, his career, his position, and, for the first time, he enumerated among his sacrifices the possession of Groombridge. Then he blushed for shame also for the first time.
Yet another case is that of a star known in astronomical nomenclature as 1830 Groombridge, which exceeds all others in its angular proper motion as seen from the earth. We should naturally suppose that it seems to move so fast because it is near us.
She was exceedingly annoyed at the débâcle of her visit to Groombridge a visit which she was describing in glowing terms in her letters to all her particular friends. It would be unpleasant to have Molly's critical eyes upon her; she liked, and was accustomed to, people with a very different expression.
He had contrived after that Easter visit to Groombridge to make her feel that she had been foolish and self-conscious in trying not to be alone with him. For many months now she had felt absolutely at her ease in his company. It seemed to be only to-day that this thought had come back to trouble her. She did not want to be disturbed with such notions; they would spoil their friendship.
Good-night, Rose; do get to bed quickly, a wise remark when it is I who have been keeping you up!" Lady Groombridge, when she got to her own room, murmured to herself: "I only stopped just in time. I nearly said Florence, and that is where the other wicked woman lives. It's odd they should both live in Florence.
Lady Groombridge laughed too, and got up to go to bed. "And what became of the mother?" "She is living " said the other; then she caught her sleeve in the table very clumsily, and was a moment or two disengaging the lace. "She is living," she then said rather slowly, "in Paris, I think it is, but this girl has never seen her." "How dreadful!" "Yes.
A glance at this showed that it was the "last will and testament of Sir David Bright." It was evidently not drawn up by a lawyer, but it seemed complete and had the two signatures of witnesses; Lord Groombridge and Sir Edmund Grosse were named as executors. It was dated on board ship only a few weeks before Sir David Bright died. At first Molly was simply bewildered.
The hour passed slowly, and she came again and let the priest know in almost the same words that he was free to act as he pleased. Then she added abruptly "Do you mind telling me your name?" "My name? Molyneux." "Then are you any relation of Lord Groombridge?" "I am his cousin." "I have been at Groombridge." But the priest felt that the tone was not in the least more friendly.
