The first instalment of a very magnificent allowance was paid into Tita's bank, and rested there untouched, doing no good to anybody. "It is senseless! As his wife, you are entitled to some of his money. It is not a gift," said Margaret angrily. But Tita had laughed, and tore his letter to Margaret in two.
Gower grows darkly mysterious; and how Tita hears of the Arrival of another Guest How Tita's Soul at last is stirred; and how her Happiness is threatened and herself set at naught; and how Minnie Hescott speaks
As soon as I came into the room I saw that she had drawn this inference, but I also saw something which had not been in my forecast. Poor Miss Tita's sense of her failure had produced an extraordinary alteration in her, but I had been too full of my literary concupiscence to think of that. Now I perceived it; I can scarcely tell how it startled me.
His questions had been so clever, so altogether without anxiety, that the maid had believed in him, and saw nothing in his words to dwell upon later. Yet Rylton's heart had seemed to cease beating as she answered him. She had gone riding with Hescott. With Hescott! Will she ever come back? Tita's face, when she had left him that last night, is before him now.
If I knew any girls I never do know them, as a rule I should beg of them not to play tennis; it is destruction so far as feet go." "Fancy riding so much as that!" says Mr. Woodleigh, who, with Sir Maurice and the others, has been listening to Tita's stories of hunts and rides gone and done. "Why, how long have you been hunting?" "Ever since I was thirteen," says Tita.

Not that the words are not responded to; not one of them, indeed, but is answered, yet Tita's eyes had not gone with her words. They had been downcast; busied, presumably, with the tea-cup now, or a smile to her neighbour on her left, or a chiding to the fox-terrier at her knee.
There is no exit from this room save through the next, where she and Rylton have been sitting except by the chimney, or through one of the windows. For one awful moment it occurs to Miss Knollys that Tita might have flung herself out of a window. She glances hurriedly to the window nearest her, and then sees something that makes her heart stand still. Are those Tita's heels?
Tita's mother-in-law grows immediately interested. "Yes, Tita. What I was going to say when you interrupted me was, that she refuses to take me into consideration or anyone else for the matter of that because " She stops she feels choking; she honestly believes that Tita likes Tom Hescott far more than she likes her husband.
"I have been quite honourable," says he coldly. "I arranged matters with her. She knows she is content to know that " "What?" Mrs. Bethune has felt the change in his manner ever since she mentioned Tita's name. "That you once loved me!" "No," frowning, "I have not told her that."
