Henfrey smiled complacently, accepting the compliment. She was, to all strangers, an absolutely uninteresting woman; but her family knew her merits, and Giles and Valentine were both particularly alive to them. "And so here I am," continued 'sister, "but it is a pity for poor Emily, for she wanted me to live in that house, you know, John, with her."
