It was noticeable that Miriam did not venture on the moor in the days that followed, but every day Helen went there with Jim, who needed exercise and was only restrained from chasing sheep by timely employment of his energy, and every day Halkett, watching the house, saw these two sally forth together.
He was pleased with his cheque at the time, but hearing subsequently that Nevil was coming to Steynham to meet Colonel Halkett and his daughter, he became displeased, considering it a very silly commission. The more he thought of it the more ridiculous and unworthy it appeared.
Shrapnel did not intend to be insulting. I cannot say that he was not offensive. You know, Miss Halkett, I would willingly, gladly have saved him from anything like punishment. 'You are too gentle to have thought of it, said Cecilia. 'But I shall never be forgiven by Captain Beauchamp. I see in his eyes that he accuses me and despises me. 'He will not be so unjust, Mrs. Culling.
But just before he took his train, Halkett had him in the sweat-box, jacking him up for not making his time. He came out red in the face, jumped on his engine, and yanked the Flyer down the yards forty miles an hour." "And what is your trouble, Durgan?" asked Loring. "Another side of the same thing.
Cecilia Halkett and Tuckham; you and I! Now, I know for certain that I have brought Cecilia Halkett out of her woman's Toryism, and given her at least liberal views, and she goes and marries an arrant Tory; while you, a bit of a Tory at heart, more than anything else, have married an ultra.

Cecilia looked at Beauchamp stedfastly. 'Speak, said the look. But he, though not blind, was keenly wounded. 'Money I must have, he said, half to the colonel, half to himself. Colonel Halkett shrugged. Cecilia waited for a directness in Beauchamp's eyes. Her father was too wary to leave them.
She gazed at her chamber window above, wishing to be wafted thither to her seclusion within. The trembling limbs of physical irresoluteness was a new experience to her. 'Anything else in the paper, colonel? I've not seen it to-day, said Beauchamp, for the sake of speaking. 'No, I don't think there's anything, Colonel Halkett replied.
Tell me how I could suppose you were alluding to them. You bring them forward now to justify your charge of "fatal" against her. She has one fault; she wants courage; she has none other, not one that is not excuseable. We won't speak of France. What did her father say? 'Colonel Halkett? I do not know. He and his daughter come here next week, and the colonel will expect to meet you here.
She pointed out to her father, by a variety of signs, that Lady Romfrey either knew or suspected the state of affairs in Bevisham, and repeated her remarks upon Nevil's illness. But Colonel Halkett was restrained from departing by the earl's constant request to him to stay. Old friendship demanded it of him. He began to share his daughter's feelings at the sight of Lady Romfrey.
