"Believe me, my dear daughter, to remain your affectionate father "DARENTH MILL, Oct. 16, 1807." The Earl read this letter through twice three times and apparently his bewilderment only increased as he re-read it. At last he refolded it, as though no more light could come from more reading, and sat a moment still, thinking intently.
Harker took the paper, flapped and refolded it, and looked at the "Stop Press" news. It was, as March had said, only a paragraph. But it was a paragraph that had a peculiar effect on Sir John Harker. His lowering brows lifted with a flicker and his eyes blinked, and for a moment his leathery jaw was loosened. He looked in some odd fashion like a very old man.
Turner refolded the tiny packet, and placed the faded flowers again where they had been so carefully treasured. His unhappy mother was in prison, which place she only quitted to be confined for life in a criminal lunatic asylum, driven mad by that fearful curse of England drink! drink! so that there would have been no one to follow him to his last resting-place had not good Mrs.
Thus ended that angry, fire-breathing epistle. I refolded it thoughtfully, then, having taken my resolve, I leapt from the bed and desired Anatole to assist me to dress. I found the Vicomte much exercised in mind as to the meaning of Marsac's extraordinary behaviour, and I was relieved to see that he, at least, could conjecture no cause for it.
Victor refolded the note and tapped the table with it, holding Sofia with speculative eyes. "It should be amusing," he said, thoughtfully, "a new experience for you. Elaine I mean Lady Randolph West, of course is a charming hostess, and never fails to fill Frampton Court with delightful people." "I'm sure I should love it." "I am sure you would.
"Humph!" said Benedict, folding the letter and thrusting it into his pocket. "Now what's that other document?" I gave him the petition for pardon, and again he took his time with the reading. "Nice little scheme you were trying to pull off!" he said to Whitredge, after the petition, accurately refolded, had gone to join the pocketed letter.
She had taken off her gloves: she silently folded and refolded them in her lap. "Your good opinion is very precious to me," Amelius pleaded, bending a little nearer to her. "I can't tell you how sorry I should be " He stopped, and put it more strongly. "I shall never have courage enough to enter the house again, if I have made you think meanly of me."
"But there," she added with a sigh, as she refolded the letter and put it into her pocket and tried to banish the visions of brightness it had called forth, "of course it is quite out of the question. I couldn't go away now when every one is so busy."
I shall be in Portman Square, not at home, from six till seven. The moment in which Phineas refolded this note and put it into his breast coat-pocket was, I think, the happiest of his life.
"Now, George Washington," he continued, taking four other twenty-dollar pieces from his pocket, and adding them to the inclosure, which he carefully refolded, "I'm going to give you another chance to live up to your reputation. You'll take that package, and hand it to White Violet, and say you found it, just as it is, in the lock-box.
