Shirley and Caroline Helstone both cried out for that husband with an indignation, a fire and impatience, a sense of wrong and injury, which stopped the laugh for the moment. It might be ludicrous, but it was horribly genuine and true." Oliphant's view of the adorable Shirley Keeldar who was Emily Brontë. Oliphant is careful not to go too far.
'Oh, mamma, let us do all we can, said Margaret eagerly, not seeing the prudential side of the question, only grasping at the idea that they were rendering such help for the last time; 'we may not be here long. 'Do you feel ill, my darling? asked Mrs. Hale, anxiously, misunderstanding Margaret's hint of the uncertainty of their stay at Helstone. 'You look pale and tired.
I don't think I could have rested at Naples, if I had known what it was! I must have come and fetched her and Margaret away. And to herself she acknowledged, that she had always thought her brother-in-law rather a weak man, but never so weak as now, when she saw for what a place he had exchanged the lovely Helstone home.

Give me till to-morrow evening to choose my time Oh, papa, cried she, with sudden passionate entreaty, 'say tell me it is a night-mare a horrid dream not the real waking truth! You cannot mean that you are really going to leave the Church to give up Helstone to be for ever separate from me, from mamma led away by some delusion some temptation!
