In a minute or two more the iron-master's widow fluttered into the room a little over-dressed as usual; and a little profuse in expressions of gratitude for her ladyship's kindness, and of anxiety about her ladyship's health. Lady Lundie endured it as long as she could then stopped it with a gesture of polite remonstrance, and came to the point. "Now, my dear about this question in your note?
I felt that it would not be wise, with Maude, to announce my rather amazing discovery of the iron-master's social ambitions. "But, Hugh, they must be very happy, they have their friends. And after all this time wouldn't it seem like an intrusion?" "I don't think so," I said, "I'm sure it would please him, and them.
