And yet it was not Meyrick's facts exactly that had brought this about. Robert thought them imperfect, only half true. Rather was it the spirit of love, of infinite forbearance in which the simpler, duller nature had declared itself that had appealed to him, nay, reproached him. Then these thoughts led him on further and further from man to God, from human defect to the Eternal Perfectness.
On another occasion, he said, speaking to Catherine of the Squire and of Meyrick's account of his last year of life, 'How selfish one is, always when one least thinks it! How could I have forgotten him so completely as I did during all that New Brotherhood time? Where, what is he now? Ah! if somewhere, somehow, one could
Meyrick's checked this impulse, and he finally went to sleep on the conclusion that he would wait until that visit had been made.
Rather an odd way to put it, thought I, but it is Fanny Meyrick's way. "Good prospect!" Heavens! was that the term to apply to my engagement with Bessie? I should have insisted on a distincter utterance and a more flattering expression of the situation had it been any other woman.
Presently it seemed to the husband and wife as though the few daily hours spent at the rectory were mere halts between successive acts of battle with the plague-fiend a more real and grim Grendel of the Marshes for the lives of children. Catherine could always sleep in these intervals, quietly and dreamlessly; Robert very soon could only sleep by the help of some prescription of old Meyrick's.

And his inclination would have been the more confirmed if he had heard the dialogue round Mrs. Meyrick's fire late in the evening, after Mirah had gone to her room. Hans, settled now in his Chelsea rooms, had stayed late, and Mrs. Meyrick, poking the fire into a blaze, said "Now, Kate, put out your candle, and all come round the fire cosily.
The foreign gent was very apt to disappear in fine weather, but rain soon drove him back to her fireside, and hunger to her flesh-pots. On the very day the foreign gent came to Meyrick's farm Lady Bassett had a letter by post from Reginald. "DEAR MAMMA I am gone with the gypsies across the water. I am sorry to leave you.
Please give my brother your hand," she added, beseechingly, taking Mrs. Meyrick's hand and putting it in Mordecai's, then pressing them both with her own and lifting them to her lips.
