Graham did look: but this was not to be endured; I saw how it must end, so I thought it best to anticipate. "Dr. John," I said, "has had so much to do and think of, since he and I shook hands at our last parting in St. Ann's Street, that, while I readily found out Mr. Graham Bretton, some months ago, it never occurred to me as possible that he should recognise Lucy Snowe." "Lucy Snowe!
Mother wept again, with grief and some wrath, and so did Annie also, and even little Eliza, and all were unsettled in loyalty, and talked about a republic, when I told them how I had been left without money for travelling homeward, and expected to have to beg my way, which Farmer Snowe would have heard of.
Bretton, as a rule, disapproved of sweet cake at tea, but still the request was urged, "One little piece only for him as he goes to school: girls such as me and Miss Snowe don't need treats, but he would like it." Graham did like it very well, and almost always got it.
"There, papa: but remember you are only waited upon with this assiduity; on condition of being persuadable, and reconciling yourself to La Terrasse for the day." "Mrs. Bretton," said the Count, "I want to get rid of my daughter to send her to school. Do you know of any good school?" "There is Lucy's place Madame Beck's." "Miss Snowe is in a school?"
'I know not what ails mother, said Annie, who looked very beautiful, with lilac lute-string ribbons, which I saw the Snowe girls envying; 'but she has not attended to one of the prayers, nor said "Amen," all the morning. Never fear, darling Lorna, it is nothing about you.
By this time, the harvest being done, and the thatching of the ricks made sure against south-western tempests, and all the reapers being gone, with good money and thankfulness, I began to burn in spirit for the sight of Lorna. I had begged my sister Annie to let Sally Snowe know, once for all, that it was not in my power to have any thing more to do with her.
Indeed, the greatest safety of the belated citizen was that these bullies were generally too drunk to be very observant, and that a person in hiding could generally escape notice. After they had passed by, Cale continued his way quietly enough, following the noisy party at a safe distance, as they too seemed bound towards Snowe Hill.
"This, however, I do remember: quiet Lucy Snowe tasted nothing of my grace." "As little of your cruelty." "Why, had I been Nero himself, I could not have tormented a being inoffensive as a shadow." I smiled; but I also hushed a groan. Oh! I just wished he would let me alone cease allusion to me. These epithets these attributes I put from me.
"I know not what ails mother," said Annie, who looked very beautiful, with lilac lute-string ribbons, which I saw the Snowe girls envying; "but she has not attended to one of the prayers, nor said 'Amen, all the morning. Never fear, darling Lorna, it is nothing about you. It is something about our John, I am sure; for she never worries herself very much about anybody but him."
Then, having paused on the unpalatable idea, "Well, I never knew what you were, nor ever thought of asking: for me, you were always Lucy Snowe." "And what am I now?" I could not forbear inquiring. "Yourself, of course. But do you really teach here, in Villette?" "I really do." "And do you like it?" "Not always." "And why do you go on with it?"
