"She aggravates me beyond endurance, mamma; I can't bear her; I shall do something " Neelie stopped, and stamped her foot angrily on the floor. "I shall throw something at her head if we go on much longer like this! I should have thrown something this morning if I hadn't left the room. Oh, do speak to papa about it! Do find out some reason for sending her away!
The professor bowed his head, and, the will being complete, he took off his spectacles, and wiped them with his handkerchief. "I was telling Neelie this morning, papa," resumed Sophie, after a while, "that I had been that I'd had a dream that I was with Bressant; and I feel sure though I suppose you'll think it nothing but a sick fancy of mine that he will be here to-morrow noon."
I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll go to London!" There was a sudden rustling heard neither by one nor the other among the trees behind them that screened Miss Gwilt. "To London?" repeated Neelie, looking up in astonishment. "To London!" reiterated Allan. "That's far enough away from Thorpe Ambrose, surely? Wait a minute, and don't forget that this is a question of law.
Could he solemnly declare that he would never regret taking Neelie away from home? Allan called Heaven to witness again, louder than ever. All to no purpose! The ravenous female appetite for tender protestations still hungered for more. "I know what will happen one of these days," persisted Neelie.
"You'll be all well and walking about when I come back, won't you dear?" said she, at last, in a shaking voice. "I shall get well thinking what a splendid time you're having, darling." "Sophie will you be quite the same to me when I come back?" "Why, Neelie, dear, what a question! I shall always be the same to you."
"Find the place," said Neelie, as soon as they were comfortably established. "We must manage this by what they call a division of labor. You shall read, and I'll take notes." She produced forthwith a smart little pocket-book and pencil, and opened the book in the middle, where there was a blank page on the right hand and the left. At the top of the right-hand page she wrote the word Good.
I behaved like a Christian again; I nodded kindly, and wished him good-morning. When I looked round to wish Miss Neelie good-morning, too, she was gone. You seem restless, Mr. Armadale," remarked Pedgift Senior, as Allan, feeling the sting of old recollections, suddenly started out of his chair, and began pacing up and down the room.
I dote on music. If you'll hold the other end, Sammy, I'll stick it in my ear. Neelie, my dear, tell him to begin." Young Pedgift was troubled with no nervous hesitation.
Such is Armadale's conversation when he is not talking of 'his darling Neelie. And Midwinter, who can steal no time from his newspaper work for his wife, can steal hours for his friend, and can offer them unreservedly to my irresistible rival, the new yacht. "I shall write no more to-day.
She was a little surprised to find Neelie alone at the place of meeting. If Miss Gwilt had waited long enough in the park, on the previous Saturday, to hear the lovers' parting words on that occasion, she would have been at no loss to explain the mystery of the volume under Allan's arm, and she would have understood the apology which he now offered for being late as readily as Neelie herself.
