People think these creatures come out of the earth, but there are a few in every place, and in this house Mark was one of such, who are aware that they come out of the world of thought, the spirit-land, in order to manifest themselves to those that are of that land. Mr. Raymount was very silent, seemed almost a little gloomy, and the face of his wife was a shade less peaceful in consequence.
The result of this way of life was the deplorable one that Mr. Raymount was compelled to rouse himself, and, from the chair of a somewhat self-indulgent reader of many books, betake himself to his study-table, to prove whether it were not possible for him to become the writer of such as might add to an income showing scantier every quarter.
But as if everybody she knew was going to appear, who should meet them face to face as they turned into Steevens's Road, with a fringe of the crowd still at their heels, but lord Gartley! He had written from town, and Mrs. Raymount had let him know that Hester was in London, for she saw that the sooner she had an opportunity of telling him what had happened the better.
I'm not used to be cross, and my own crossness is much harder to bear than theirs. If I could have kept the good temper people used to praise me for to my mother, I shouldn't mind; but it is hard to lose it this way! I don't know how to get on without it! If there don't come a change somehow soon, I shall run away I shall indeed, Miss Raymount.
Blaney with calmness, the moment Hester had ended, "will back me up. I have no right to be treated as if I didn't know what I was about. I can warrant the song home-made, and of the best quality. So here goes!" Vavasor made a stride towards him, but scarcely was the ugly mouth half screwed into singing-place, when Mr. Raymount spoke from somewhere near the door.
All the house was asleep the major had long ended his prayers and was slumbering by the fire when Raymount knelt before the living love, the source of his life, and of all the love that makes life a good thing, and rose from his knees a humbler man. Towards morning he went to bed, and slept late heavily and unreposefully; and, alas! when he woke, there was the old feeling returned!
Not if the truth would prevent it! Her engagement must at once be broken! Lord Gartley marry the sister of a thief! While he was thus raging a knock came to the door, and a maid entered. "Please, sir," she said, "Miss Raymount says will you come to mis'ess: she's taken bad!" This brought him to himself. The horrible fate was hers too! He must go to her. How could she have heard the vile news?
Raymount did not really know anything about that part of his old friend's history; it was hardly to his discredit. The black wife, as he called her, was the daughter of an English merchant by a Hindoo wife, a young creature when he first made her acquaintance, unaware of her own power, and kept almost in slavery by the relatives of her deceased father, who had left her all his property.
But it wants doing still. There is scarce a discernible segment of the round of unity between many fathers and their children. Gerald Raymount went walking through the pine-woods on his hills. Little satisfaction lay in land to which such a son was to succeed! No! the land was his own! not an acre, not as much as would bury him, should the rascal have!
To destroy evil things is good, but the worst things can only be destroyed by being good, and that is so hard!" "It is hard," said the major "so hard that most people never try it!" he added with a sigh, and a gulp of his wine. Mrs. Raymount rose, and with Hester and the children withdrew.
