First, your sister-in-law's story, then her reasons for sending her child alone to the museum, as well as the cause of her flight before she could have heard of that poor child's fate. More hangs upon an understanding of these facts than I am at liberty to tell you. She herself would agree with me in this if I could have a few minutes' conversation with her." "She is not in the house.
She leaned against the etagere for a moment and, seeing that her sister-in-law's eyes were fixed on her hands, she opened them and said in a gentle, weary voice the voice of a woman who had ceased to struggle: "I have taken nothing. You can look for yourself." And she went away; the warmth of the place and the smell of the soup were unbearable.
She would have won her bet; for Orion, who had remained unmoved by his sister-in-law's letter, by the warning voice of the faith of his childhood, by the faithful council of his honest servant Nilus, or by the senator's convincing arguments had yielded to Heliodora's sweet blandishments. How ardently had her loving heart flamed up, when she saw him so deeply agitated at the sight of her!
He was a big, stupid-looking man, with a gray fowl hanging, head downward, from his hand, and as he responded "Howdy," in an expressionless tone, the fowl craned its long neck upward and pecked at the creeper on the wall. "Howdy, Jim!" "Howdy, Peter!" "Howdy, Luke!" sang the first line. "How's your wife?" "How's your wife's mother?" "How's your sister-in-law's uncle?" inquired the next.
And I went to cookin' for the weddin' about a week before it took place. I thought I would invite the minister and his wife and family, and Philury's sister-in-law's family, the only one of her relations who lived near us, and she was poor; and her classmates at Sunday school, there was twelve of 'em, and our children and their families.
The boy said he would stop on his way home and take the oil to her, but he never did stop, or perhaps he never went back, and about five o'clock I began to get dreadfully worried, for I knew if that lamp wasn't in my sister-in-law's window by dark she might be a widow before midnight.
"That's it I've thought of it often. Have we been doing the girl a kindness? After all, John, contentment is the greatest thing in this world, and perhaps we've hurt the dear child by bringing her here and letting her have a taste of this sort of thing." John Westley regarded his sister-in-law's plump, kindly face with amusement.
All this notwithstanding, she remained collected and unalarmed; but instantly arose, dressed, and went downstairs, where she found not a creature stirring. Her father, on coming down shortly afterwards, naturally asked what had made her rise so early; rallied her on the cause, and soon afterwards went on to his sister-in-law's house, where he found that she had just unexpectedly died.
What troubled him all through the last scene was the thought that now he should never know why she was so set against 'Bessie's 'avin it. It was, indeed, the general opinion in Clinton Magna that John Bolderfield or 'Borrofull, as the village pronounced it, took his sister-in-law's death too lightly. The women especially pronounced him a hard heart.
Her sister-in-law's high spirits and jocular tone jarred upon her most disagreeably, but she tried to bear in mind in what dissimilar circumstances they had passed the last hour.
