The letter was directed, sealed; it only remained for him to place it in the post-bag, lying near at hand. At this last decisive act he hesitated. He had told Lomaque, and he had firmly believed himself, that he had conquered all ambitions for his sister's sake. He knew now, for the first time, that he had only lulled them to rest he knew that the letter from Paris had aroused them.
The further danger that Lord Loudwater might attempt to stop her income altogether if she married, though he perceived that it was a real, even imminent danger, did not greatly trouble him. He was full of resentment, not fear. He felt that he loathed his employer more than ever and with more reason. Holloway brought the post-bag to the library, and waited while Mr.
When the Amen came, the footman, who never knew what to do with his legs during the time of kneeling, sprang up with particular alacrity.

She folded the letter and addressed it as he wished; then she left her room and went down into the hall, where the post-bag lay open upon the table.
