Miss Mohun met the party at the station, going off, however, with her brother into court, after having established Lady Merrifield and her niece in an inn parlour, where they kept as quiet as they could, by the help of knitting, and reading aloud.
She knew she was speaking by rote, and was not surprised that Agatha said, "That is just what one has heard so often, and what Miss Merrifield harped upon! I want to breathe in a fresh atmosphere beyond the old traditions, and know which are Divine and which are only the superstructure of those who have always had the dominion and justified it in their own way!"
She said, 'I am very sorry. Lady Merrifield, but it was not exactly the tone of repentance, and it ended with: 'If it had not been for her, I should never have done it. 'I suppose not, for there would have been no temptation.
Lady Merrifield read something in those wild eyes and cheeks burning, but the exigencies of the moment obliged her to hold her peace, and apply herself to estimating the half-price of the cushions and table-cloths she rejoiced to see departing, as well as to preserve wits enough not to let Gillian sell the Indian screen for two shillings and sixpence, under the impression that this was the half of five pounds.
'But need she have had anything to do with it? said Colonel Mohun. 'How should a cheque of Maurice's come into her possession? 'She did tell me, said Lady Merrifield, that her father had left one with her to pay for some German scientific book that might be sent for him. 'I see, then! cried Miss Mohun.
Some great thing was her unspoken thought -some great and excellent achievement to be laid before her mother on her return. There was a tale begun in imitation of Bessie Merrifield, called "Hilda's Experiences". Suppose that was finished, printed, published, splendidly reviewed. Would not that be a great thing? But alas, she was under a tacit engagement never to touch it in the hours of study.
Kalliope looked half convinced, but she persisted 'I suppose you do; only please, till there is a letter from Lady Merrifield, I had rather not go into this Society. 'But, Kally, you don't consider. What am I to say to my aunt? What will she think of you? 'I can't help that! I cannot do this while she could feel I was conniving at what she might not like. Indeed, I cannot.
He is younger, you know, and he has quite enough to do. Oh, Miss Gillian, he is such a very dear, good boy. 'He has a most beautiful voice, Aunt Ada said. 'Yes, poor fellow, though he almost wishes he had not. Oh dear I there's the little bell! Good-bye, Miss Merrifield, I must run, or Mrs. Smithson will be gone to church, and I shall be locked in.
Still she thought it no breach of her promise, when they were all gone to bed, and she the sole survivor, to tell her mother how inadvertently she had affronted Dolores by cutting up the verses, before she knew whose they were. 'I am sorry, said Lady Merrifield. 'Anything that tends to keep Dolores aloof from us is a pity. 'But, mama, I had no notion whose they were.
It is more inconvenient than ruinous. 'Ah! There was a faintness and oppression in the sound which made Lady Merrifield think the girl ought not to be left, and before long, sickness came on. Nurse Halfpenny had to be called up, and it was one o'clock before there was a quiet, comfortable sleep, which satisfied the aunt and nurse that it was safe to repair to their own beds again.
