That night at tea, during her hand-maiden's temporary absence, Miss Harriet announced, as if by way of apology, that she thought Martha was beginning to understand something about her work. "Her aunt was a treasure, she never had to be told anything twice; but Martha has been as clumsy as a calf," said the precise mistress of the house.
"It would not be unadvisable for you to whet your wits as well," Frode's daughter muttered scornfully, and somewhat rashly, since Elfgiva's wits had been sharp enough to guess the significance of her hand-maiden's interview with the young English noble, and the knowledge had given her a weapon which she was skilful in using.
She gave a great cry a shriek, that rang through the room and cast herself upon her husband's breast. "O, God bless you for that!" she sobbed; "God bless " and stopped, strangled by her sobs. Mr. Granger put her gently back into her faithful hand-maiden's arms. That was different. He might respect her rights as a mother; he could never again accept her as his wife.
A glance at the hand-maiden's tearful face revealed that she knew the worst, in which case Sylvia must also have heard the news.
