'Particularly as there is a baby, said Jane, upon which Mrs. Rewble was again very angry. 'If Dick were to come home, he'd clear it all up at once, said Mrs. Posttlethwaite. 'Dick will never come home, said Matilda mournfully. 'Never! said Mrs. Rewble.

'You know nothing about it, miss, and you ought not to speak of such a thing, said the curate's wife. Jane at this made a grimace which was intended to be seen only by her sister Fanny.
'Of course he has heard, said Mrs. Rewble. 'You must have heard, said the mother. 'I don't in the least know what you are talking about. I have heard nothing at all. In very truth he had heard nothing of his old friend, not even that he had returned to England. Then by degrees the whole story was told to him. 'I know that he was putting a lot of money together, said Dick enviously.
'He had yellow trousers on, as if he had come from a long way off. And I'm sure papa was very glad, why should he take both his hands? 'I feel as though my legs were sinking under me, said Maria.

For a moment the suggestion had been so awful that they had not dared to stir; but when the elder sister slowly moved towards the door which led into the house from the garden, they all followed her.
