When she came in and was on her way to her room, Caroline opened her door. "Marian! O will you not come to me?" cried she imploringly. Marian could not but comply, indeed she had no hesitation, for she thought Mrs. Lyddell's injunction only applied to the time before she went out.
However, the words she had spoken were not without effect. Mrs. Lyddell's answer had been prompted by her first impulse of dislike and opposition, as if Marian was taking still further upon her; but she became very anxious when left alone.

Very sore was Marian's heart that night, when she felt it her duty to bid Caroline good night in Mrs. Lyddell's hearing, in spite of the piteous, imploring glance turned upon her.
"O, yes, she is up, she knows you are come," said Clara, and Marian was presently knocking at Mrs. Lyddell's door.
Lyddell's constituents on the opposite interest, taking the wrong side of the question, a most important one, upon which the dissolution had taken place. Here was indignation indeed.
