And then Dr Thorne, taking Lady Scatcherd's hand and leading her out into another chamber, told her the truth. "Lady Scatcherd," said he, in his tenderest voice and his voice could be very tender when occasion required it "Lady Scatcherd, do not hope; you must not hope; it would be cruel to bid you do so." "Oh, doctor! oh, doctor!" "My dear friend, there is no hope."
There was in Barchester an honest publican honest as the world of publicans goes who not only was possessed of a vote, but possessed also of a son who was a voter. He was one Reddypalm, and in former days, before he had learned to appreciate the full value of an Englishman's franchise, he had been a declared Liberal and an early friend of Roger Scatcherd's.
"The property will, I think, go to Mary Scatcherd's eldest child. It is she whom you have known as Mary Thorne." "Doctor!" And then Lady Scatcherd, as she made the exclamation, put both her hands down to hold her chair, as though she feared the weight of her surprise would topple her off her seat.
"But, dear Lady Scatcherd," said Mary, as they sat together at the open drawing-room window the same evening, "you must not go on calling me Miss Thorne; my name is Mary, you know. Won't you call me Mary?" and she came and knelt at Lady Scatcherd's feet, and took hold of her, looking up into her face. Lady Scatcherd's cheeks became rather red, as though she was somewhat ashamed of her position.
He perceived, also, that the doctor was affected with some more than ordinary emotion. Why should it be that this subject of Mary Scatcherd's child moved him so deeply?
I'm really so bothered, squire, with all these papers, and all those lawyers, that I don't know whether I'm sitting or standing. There's ready money enough to pay all the tax and all the debts. I know that, at any rate." "You don't mean to say that Mary Thorne is now possessed of all Sir Roger Scatcherd's wealth?" at last ejaculated the squire.
I wish for your sake yes, and for hers too that her birth were equal to her fortune, as her worth is superior to both. Mr Gresham, this marriage will, at any rate, put an end to your pecuniary embarrassments unless, indeed, Frank should prove a hard creditor. My niece is Sir Roger Scatcherd's heir."
