It happened that her landlady's little daughter came into her room, saw her hands bleeding, and ran to tell her mother, who with great anxiety asked Anne Catherine what had happened, but was begged by her not to speak about it.
I think he has once or twice sent her what the landlady's daughter calls bo-kays of flowers, somebody has, at any rate. I saw a book she had, which must have come from the divinity-student.
"I see very little of Erasmus. He has been in the country this fortnight with some patient. I long for his return. I will make the inquiries you desire about Buckhurst Falconer. "Your affectionate son, "P.S. Yes, my dear Rosamond, I shall be obliged to you for the flower-roots for my landlady's daughter."
To put an end to the landlady's cheating, and to bind myself to remain at home, I entered into an arrangement with her that she was to supply me with board and lodgings for three pounds a week, and henceforth resisting all Curzon Street temptations, I trudge home through November fogs, to eat a chop in a frouzy lodging-house.
There was an interchange of ordinary greetings: from the Duke, a comment on the weather; from Zuleika, a hope that he was well again they had been so sorry to lose him last night. Then came a pause. The landlady's daughter was clearing away the breakfast-things. Zuleika glanced comprehensively at the room, and the Duke gazed at the hearthrug.

"Her face is pretty when you look at it," he said to his landlady. But this admission did not satisfy her. "Well, enthusiasm is pleasant," he thought, and he listened to her rambling talk.
For, during all this time, Miss Rodney had had her eye on her fellow-lodger, Mr. Rawcliffe, and the more she observed this gentleman, the more resolute she became to turn him out of the house; but it was plain to her that the undertaking would be no easy one. In the landlady's eyes Mr.
But on the third day, the landlady's lover, a Moscow man, who knew the regulations and how to manage, sent for the police. A policeman with sword and pistol on a red cord came to the lodgings, and with courteous words he led the laundress into the street. It was a clear, sunny, but freezing March day. The gutters were flowing, the house-porters were picking at the ice.
Curzon's only child. He is a widower, it seems, and Kitty is the cause of his holding a country living. By my landlady's account he is simply wrapped up in her. I have been the round of the village to-day, making acquaintance with one and another as occasion offered.
