We were only too glad to consent, and I had gone to sleep with Jaquetta, so as to make room feeling very happy over the best school report of our boy we had ever had, though not the best we were to have. He spent two or three days at Mr. Maitland's in London, and then he and his friend, John, came on here. The railway did not come within twenty miles then, and they had to post from it in flies.
We had crept down to breakfast, Jaquetta and I, feeling very dreary in the half-light, and as if desolation had suddenly come on us; and when we heard her fly drive up to the door, Jaquetta cried out almost angrily, "Torwood, how could you!" and we would have run away, but he said, "Stay, dear girls; it is better to have it over."
The very fancy, I see now, was playing with edged tools; I feel as if my imagination had put the possibility into the very air. Once indeed when Jaquetta had been telling me she did not understand my unkindness; and observed that, even for Alured's sake, she could not see why I did not accept I did begin to regard him as a possible protector for the boy.
She had never known before what happiness was. I could not help laughing. Nobody had ever detected anything amiss with Lady Jaquetta Trevor's spirits, but that they were too high at times. "Of course I don't mean that I was miserable!" she said; "but there's something now that does make everything so delicious." "Could you not take that something to the park?" I asked, laughing. "I don't know!
After the great house was shut up, one service was dropped, and so the latter part of the day was spent in a visit to all the livestock, Fulk laden with Alured, and Jaquetta with tit bits for each and all. She and Alured really enjoyed it, and we tried to think we did!
Deerhurst could not have on her visiting list the wife of a man with a warrant out against him! She thought it very unfeeling in us to harbour her. But Emily came. Hester had a great longing to thank her for checking her on that walk to the scarlet-fever place, and asked Jaquetta one day to write to her and beg her to come to see a dying woman.
Jaquetta bore the brunt of that night, and showed the stuff she was made of, for poor Hester had only revived to fall into a most frightful state of delirium, raving and struggling so that the doctor and Arthur could hardly hold her.
I said something of the room being ready but Arthur said very low "He is dying internal bleeding;" and when Jaquetta asked "Can nothing be done?" he answered, "Nothing but to leave him still." "Trevorsham," murmured the feeble voice, and Alured was close to him; "Ally! you are all right!" and then again, as Alured assured him he would be better "No, I shan't; I'm so glad it wasn't you.
They were kinder than we deserved, but we thought it prying and patronage, and would not accept what we could not return. It is not fair to say we. It was only myself Jaquetta never saw anything but kindness, and took it pleasantly, and Fulk was too busy and too unhappy to be concerned about our visiting matters. And thus I daunted all but old Miss Prior. Poor old thing!
Torwood to come and see him. Jaquetta and I persuaded ourselves that he had discovered that Perrault had suborned witnesses, or done something that would falsify the whole trial. Jaquetta said she should be very glad for Fulk, and if it happened now little Alured would never feel it; but for her own part, she should hate to go back to be my lady again.
