Hartright," she went on, "I will show you the grave, and then go back at once to the house. I had better not leave Laura too long alone. I had better go back and sit with her." We were close to the churchyard when she spoke. The church, a dreary building of grey stone, was situated in a little valley, so as to be sheltered from the bleak winds blowing over the moorland all round it.
Drudgery! But here I swear from this hour Molly Pierrepont will live no longer such a life." Ben Hartright reached his home in Orange street about three o'clock, noiselessly opened the door and strode up to his apartments, thinking he would get to bed without disturbing his young wife; but she was not there.
Fairlie's legal adviser to-morrow? It is a question perhaps a very important one of gaining or losing a day. Tell me what you think, Mr. Hartright. If necessity had not already obliged me to take you into my confidence under very delicate circumstances, even my helpless situation would, perhaps, be no excuse for me.
I committed another when Percival had paid the penalty of his own obstinacy and violence, by granting Lady Glyde a second reprieve from the mad-house, and allowing Mr. Hartright a second chance of escaping me. In brief, Fosco, at this serious crisis, was untrue to himself. Deplorable and uncharacteristic fault!
Fairlie, and if you once excite his suspicions that you are trifling with him, he will refuse to release you. It will be time enough then, Mr. Hartright, for you, and for all of us." Before I could assure her that she might depend on my acting in the strictest accordance with her wishes, we were both startled by advancing footsteps in the shrubbery.
"Do you know that you are talking to a gentleman?" "Be careful," said Molly, "You wouldn't have the women for whom you would be so chivalrous know who Ben Hartright really is, would you?" "Why, what's the matter Molly?" said Hartright in a more subdued voice. "Have you joined the sanctified band?"
He treats it lightly himself, though it sometimes makes his friends anxious about him." "I suppose no whispers have ever been heard against his character?" "Mr. Hartright! I hope you are not unjust enough to let that infamous letter influence you?" I felt the blood rush into my cheeks, for I knew that it HAD influenced me. "I hope not," I answered confusedly.
The reference to the bridal dress and veil, and other little expressions, seem to point to it as the production of some woman. What do you think, Mr. Hartright?" "I think so too. It seems to me to be not only the letter of a woman, but of a woman whose mind must be " "Deranged?" suggested Miss Halcombe. "It struck me in that light too." I did not answer.
I suspected what was coming when she spoke to me in the breakfast-room; I felt certain of it now. "Mr. Hartright," she said, "I am going to begin by making a frank avowal to you. I am going to say without phrase-making, which I detest, or paying compliments, which I heartily despise that I have come, in the course of your residence with us, to feel a strong friendly regard for you.
Hartright is out of the country. This invisible Anne of yours is all we have to think of for the present. You have made your inquiries?" "Yes. I have been to her mother, I have ransacked the village and all to no purpose." "Is her mother to be depended on?" "Yes." "She has told your secret once." "She won't tell it again." "Why not? Are her own interests concerned in keeping it, as well as yours?"
