He had been more than ever solitary during this period, for his acquaintance, even to the faithful George Lovegrove, stood aloof. But Dominic hardly noticed this. Though solitary, he had not been lonely, since his mind was absorbed in question, in pursuit, in the consciousness of deepening conviction.
Iglesias, to be sure," Mrs. Lovegrove answered, hardly restraining evidences of satisfaction. The news was lamentable, no doubt; but to have it miss fire in the recital of it would have made it ten times more lamentable still. "And the worst of it was," she continued, refreshed by the effect upon her hearer, "he kept it dark for we don't in the least know how long.
Her husband looked at her in an anguish of apology whether for his own sins or those of others he knew not exactly. "So there is, Mrs. Lovegrove," Eliza responded warmly. "And nobody is a more speaking example of that truth than Peachie Porcher. When I think of all she went through during her married life, and yet so unsuspicious, so trusting it is enough to melt an iceberg, that it is, Mrs.
Thank you, wonderfull well, earnest and energetic as ever. I do not know how I could meet the demands of this large parish without her." "A true helpmeet," purred Mrs. Lovegrove. "Truly so and specially in all questions of organisation. She is altogether my superior in administrative capacity.
"Mrs. Nevington heard from your kind sister only this morning," he continued. "Full of active helpfulness as usual, Mrs. Lovegrove. She proposes that we should quarter ourselves upon you and her for a few days, Miss Serena, while we are seeking a temporary residence. She kindly gives us the names of several houses which she considers worth inspection."
He would always have returned a verdict of temporary insanity, this being to him the only explanation conceivable of a voluntary exit from our so excellent present form of existence. Yet George Lovegrove was not without his little secret sorrow who indeed is? A deep-seated regret for nonexistent small Lovegroves possessed him, the instinct of paternity being strong in him.
Daniel Lovegrove instead of the little Rumbullion whom she was expecting, she had no time to exclaim or hide her mounting color, none at all to explain to her own mind the mistake that had occurred, before his arm was clasped around her waist, and his lips so closely pressed to hers, that through her soft thick hair she could feel the throbbing of his temples.
"Threadneedle Street and I have agreed to part company." "What, for good? Never?" this from both husband and wife. "Yes, for good," Iglesias said. Mr. Lovegrove ceased to beam. He became anxious again, and consequently solemn. "Well, you do surprise me," he said. "Nothing gone wrong, I trust? Not any unpleasantness happened?" "None," Iglesias answered.
"There are no excuses necessary," said Miss Pilgrim, with a bewitching little laugh. "Billy and I know each other intimately well, Mrs. Lovegrove; and I confess that when I heard the lady aunt had been invited to visit was his mother, I felt all the more willing to infringe etiquette this evening by coming where I had no previous introduction." "Don't you care!" said Billy, encouragingly.
Iglesias' expression was exalted, his speech penetrated by enthusiasm. "It would be profitable and happy," he said, "before the final auditing of accounts, to be a little better versed in this wonderful and living wisdom." And George Lovegrove stood watching him, bewildered, agitated, full of doubt and inquiry. "Ah! it is all beyond me, quite beyond me," he exclaimed presently.
