'And now, dear, I'm afraid I must leave you I'm very sorry; but you see how it is; keep to the shady side, close by the hedge, where the trees stop; but I'm certain you will meet no one. Tamar will tell you who has called hardly anyone I saw them myself every day at Brandon, and told them you were ill. You've been very kind, Radie; I assure you I'll never forget it.
If I were strong enough, or poor old Tamar, I should have put it away; and now that you're here, Stanley, I think I'll make you carry it out to the lobby for me. 'I should not like to touch it, dear Radie. And pray how do you amuse yourself here? How on earth do you get over the day, and, worse still, the evenings? 'Very well well enough.
A step was heard at the threshold it entered the hall; the door of the little chamber opened, and Stanley Lake entered, saying in a doubtful, almost timid way 'It is I, Radie, come to thank you, and just to ask you how you do, and to say I'll never forget your kindness; upon my honour, I never can. Rachel shuddered as the door opened, and there was a ghastly sort of expectation in her look.
'They lived, I suppose, out of doors like the cows, and only came into their sheds at night, when they could not see the absurd ugliness of the places they inhabited. I could not stand upright in this room with my hat on. Lots of rats, I fancy, Radie, behind that wainscoting? What's that horrid work of art against the wall? 'A shell-work cabinet, dear. It is not beautiful, I allow.
You'll find Tamar up and watching for you I arranged all that; and I need not say you'll be very careful not to let that girl of yours hear anything. You'll be very quiet she suspects nothing; and I assure you, so far as personal annoyance of any kind is concerned, you may be perfectly at ease. Good-night, Radie; God bless you, dear.
'Now that's impossible, Radie; for I really don't think I once thought of him all this evening except just while we were talking. 'You keep your secret as usual, Stanley, said the young lady. 'Really, Radie, you're quite mistaken. I assure you, upon my honour, I've no secret. You're a very odd girl why won't you believe me? Miss Rachel only glanced across her mufflers on his face.
Don't you know very well, in a small place like this, they are all alive with curiosity? and if you choose to make such a tragedy figure, and keep moping and crying, and all that sort of thing, and look so funeste and miserable, you'll be sure to fix attention and set the whole d d place speculating and gossiping? and really, Radie, you're making mountains of mole-hills.
She's, of course, very much to be pitied, and you have my leave to pity her as much as you please. 'I do pity her, said Rachel. 'Thank you, again, said Stanley; 'but seriously, Radie, you can be, I think, very essentially of use to me in this affair, and you must not refuse. 'Now, Stanley, I will cut this matter short. I can't serve you. I won't.
Rachel has a ridiculous way of talking like an oracle, and treating as settled fact every absurdity she fancies. She is very charming and clever, of course, so long as she speaks of the kind of thing she understands. But when she tries to talk of serious business poor Radie! she certainly does talk such nonsense! She can't reason; she runs away with things.
'Oh, Master Stanley, Master Stanley! my poor child my child that I nursed! anything would be better than this. Sooner or later judgment will overtake you, so sure as you persist in it. I heard what Miss Radie said; and is not it true is not it cruel is not it frightful to go on?
