Van Draagen ought to come down handsomely for such an extra fine sample; but in the meantime he accepted the rouleau of guineas that Loveday handed to him, the proceeds, as she told Mrs. Darke, of my Lady's winnings last night at loo. All was ready.
But I haven't got any time and, oh my, I don't know how to say it, but to be frank with you could you lend Richard two pounds ?" Loveday coloured to the roots of his hair. He could not tell her: "Open that envelope in your hand", for that would have meant that it was he who had sent the L50 it contained; and he had now only one sixpence in Priddlestone.
"Pretty flower, isn't it?" "Oh, don't be ridiculous, Henry!" I said. "You wait!" he said mischievously. "We'll show it to Loveday." Loveday was sent for on some business connected with the evening's performance. Henry held out the flower obtrusively, but Loveday wouldn't notice it. "Pretty, isn't it?" said Henry carelessly. "Very," said Loveday. "I always like those lilies.
She worked principally at the letters, after the children had gone to bed, taking a packet up stairs with her, and sitting in the bedroom, deciphering them as best she might by the light of the candles that Loveday had brought her.
She has little, and I have much; but I do adore that girl, in spite of myself! 'Let's go on, said Anne. 'Prithee stand by an old man till he's got into his house! implored Uncle Benjy.

My passenger here has her berth taken in the name of Ann Davis." "Like enough," said Loveday, "but you remember me, captain, and I swear that this poor young lady is what his Honour Sir Amyas say.
Anne had started as if shaken by an invisible hand, and a thick mist of doubt seemed to obscure the intelligence of her eyes. This was but for two or three moments. Very pale, she arose and went right up to the seaman. John gently tried to intercept her, but she passed him by. 'Do you speak of Robert Loveday as courting a wife? she asked, without the least betrayal of emotion.

The day had already begun to darken when he entered, and the cheerful fire shone red upon the floor and walls. Mrs. Loveday received him alone, and asked him to take a seat by the chimney-corner, a little of the old hankering for him as a son-in-law having permanently remained with her.
