And its glory seemed to rest upon her whilst she slept. Miss Rowly had received a bulky letter by the morning's post. She had not opened it, but had allowed it to rest beside her plate all breakfast- time. Then she had taken it away with her to her own sitting-room. Stephen did not appear to take any notice of it.
'That's what I call something like it, Rowly, said Owen tapping his brother's shoulder, as he watched Mr and Mrs Jones alternately give Gladys a most affectionate embrace. 'But why does the old parson hug her so? He shouldn't do that if I were Mrs Jones, or if she were Mrs
But the comfort which Aunt Laetitia could give was of a more positive kind. From that hour Miss Rowly stayed at Normanstand. Stephen wanted her; and she wanted to be with Stephen. After the funeral Harold, with an instinctive delicacy of feeling, had gone to live in his own house; but he came to Normanstand every day.
'I think the Tree of Knowledge must have been an orange tree. The old lady looked up, her interest aroused: 'Why? 'Because ever since Eden other brides have worn its blossom! Her tone was demure. Miss Rowly looked sharply at her, but her sharpness softened off into a smile. 'H'm! she said, and was silent. Stephen seized the opportunity to put her own case: 'Auntie dear, you must forgive me!
'Oh, is that you, Auntie? Mr. Everard has finished his business with me! Then to the servant, who had entered after Miss Rowly: 'Mr. Everard would like his carriage. By the way, she added, turning to him in a friendly way as an afterthought, 'will you not stay, Mr. Everard, and take lunch with us? My aunt has been rather moping lately; I am sure your presence would cheer her up.
Christy had made up his lost sleep. On the first day out he had taken Captain Lonley's word that he would not interfere with anything on board, and had then given him a berth in the ward room, where he messed with the officers. Captain Rowly had also been taken on board, and as he was a captain in the Confederate army, innocent as he was, he demanded similar accommodations.
Stephen paused; she felt it necessary to collect herself before speaking. 'Auntie dear, will you let me see that letter? Oh, my dear, dear Auntie, don't think I mistrust you that I ask it. I do because I love you, and because I want to love you more if it is possible to do so. Miss Rowly handed her the letter.
Miss Rowly had never been to Lannoy; and, indeed, she knew personally nothing of the county Angleshire in which it was situated. She was naturally anxious to see the new domain; but kept her feeling concealed during the months that elapsed until Stephen's right had been conceded by the Committee for Privileges.
But it was not wrong in itself, or in the eyes of God or man! The old woman said not a word. No word was needed, for had she not already expressed her belief? But Stephen felt her relief in the glad pressure of her finger-tips. In a voice less strained and tense Miss Rowly went on: 'What need have I for money, dear? Here I have all that any woman, especially at my age, can need.
By the side of the roadway on the inner curve lay the cart on its side with broken shafts. The horses were prancing and stamping about along the roadway not recovered from their fright. Each was held by several men. And on the grass two figures were still lying where they had been thrown out. Rowly, who had of course been on the off-side, had been thrown furthest.
