You must remember, Lily, that only by a miracle could you have lived on in security." "I have sometimes felt that," whispered the sufferer, her head falling. "And it almost seems," went on Mrs. Wade, "as if Northway really had no intention of using his power to extort money. To be sure, your own income is not to be despised by a man in his position; but most rascals would have gone to Mr.
"It still seems certain that Mr. Quarrier will be elected to-morrow?" "Very likely indeed." "He looked about him, and smoothed his silk hat a very different article from that he had formerly worn. Examining him, Mrs. Wade was amused at the endeavour he had made to equip himself like a gentleman." "What else did you wish to ask me, Mr. Northway?" "It's a point of conscience. If you remember, Mrs.
Northway, who had kept postponing the moment of address, now lost himself between conflicting motives. Seeing Lilian's consternation and her friend's surprise, he nervously raised his hat, drew a step or two nearer, tried to smile. "Mrs. Wade," Lilian uttered, with desperate effort to seem self-possessed, "I wish to speak to this gentleman. Will you do you mind?"
"I don't see why I should think much about a man who has injured me as he has." "No," conceded Mrs. Wade, sadly. "I understand that you have nothing whatever in view but recovering your wife?" "That's all I want." "And yet, Mr. Northway, I'm sure you see how very difficult it will be for you to gain this end." She leaned towards him sympathetically.
Northway watched him and seemed tempted to follow, but at length went down the hill. Disappointed in his matrimonial project, the Rev. Scatchard Vialls devoted himself with acrid zeal to the interests of the Conservative party.

"Yes, I'll go through with it," was the deliberate reply. "Very well.
Denzil, already observed by Glazzard, stepped forward. "Do you know that man?" he asked, pointing to Northway, who affected a study of some neighbouring work of art. "I have met him," was the subdued answer. It was necessary to speak so that attention should not be drawn hither. Though profoundly agitated, Quarrier controlled himself sufficiently to use a very low tone.
"A couple of hours' journey, or so. If you will allow me, I will pay your fare at once." He took out a sovereign, which Northway, after a moment's hesitation, accepted. "Do you take any interest in the elections?" Glazzard asked. "Not much," replied the other, reassuming his intellectual air. "One party is as worthless as the other from my point of view."
"Nothing, dear nothing. Some errand boy." The servant was heard in the passage. She brought a letter, and said a messenger waited for the reply. Mrs. Wade looked at the address; the hand was unknown to her. "From Denzil?" asked Lilian. The other made no reply. What she found in the envelope was a note from Northway, saying he was close by and wished to see her.
You would then, of course, be enabled to marry again. May I ask if you are quite at ease with regard to your prospects in life?" The tone was so delicately impertinent that Northway missed its significance. "I haven't quite decided upon anything yet." "Judging from your conversation, I should say that you will yet find a place among active and successful men. But the beginning is everything.
