Williams, in the seediest and most dilapidated rusty black, had a face of deepest melancholy. "But why that confound Why do they ring that bell?" Walker asked, irritably. "Madam ordered it, sir," Williams replied. "She's queerer than ever, is mistress. She don't say much, but Miss Christiana's death is a great shock to her.
"But there must have been " "Listen to me," she interrupted, "and tell me if you ever heard anything queerer in your life. They'd been engaged Heaven knows how long over two years; probably nearer three and always she kept putting it off; wouldn't begin to get ready, wouldn't set a day for the wedding. Then Mr.
This, I thought, was even queerer than the request or command for I knew from her tone, just as plainly as if she had told me in words, that she did not wish to dine alone with her husband.
