The second day she was relieved by the officiating priest of the convent a mild, melancholy, gentleman-like man, with whom I got on tolerably well. The third day, I had for overlooker the portress of the house a dirty, dismal, deaf, old woman, who did nothing but knit stockings and chew orris-root.
Thornton never knew but that the overlooker, to whom he had given the command in the first instance, had done it himself. 'Eh! I reckon I know who'd ha' been sorry for to see our measter sitting so like a piece o' grey calico!
Woolper sat in the stockbroker's study, facing the scrutinising gaze of those bright black eyes, which had been familiar to her of old, and which had lost none of their cold glitter in the wear and tear of life.
