"But she can't help being Lady Tristram now!" "It's all a most unjustifiable proceeding. He tricks the girl " "Yes, he had to. That was the only chance. If he'd told her before " "But isn't she in love with him?" "Oh, you don't know the Tristrams! Oh, what are we to do?" Save running through every kind and degree of emotion Mina seemed to find nothing to do.
They might be seen for half the day moving about the roads as leisurely, or standing as quietly at the covert's side as might the seniors of the fields. But when the time for riding did come, when the hounds were really running when other young ladies had begun to go home then the Miss Tristrams were always there; there or thereabouts, as their admirers would warmly boast.
To do the Tristrams justice, this was generally achieved where they were concerned; Harry could have relied on his mother and on Cecily; he could rely on himself if he were given a suitable environment, one that appealed to him and afforded responsive feelings. The family was not in the habit of wasting its opportunities for emotion.
As soon as tea was over Maggie jumped up and said, "Now, Kitty" she turned to Kathleen O'Donnell as she spoke "you and I, and Rosamond and Jane, and Matty and Clara, and the Tristrams will get through our work as quickly as possible. I suppose, girls" here she glanced at Aneta in particular "you will let us have the sitting-room as usual during the leisure hours?"
These Tristrams were odd folk. There was the same blood in Cecily as had run in Addie Tristram's veins. On the other hand the Gainsboroughs seemed to have been ordinary. Was this period of indecision or of suspended action a time of struggle between the Tristram in Cecily and the Gainsborough?
And perhaps now you'll understand that we're the Tristrams of Blent, and that we live and die that." His voice grew a little louder. "And your nonsense!" he exclaimed; "it's all a lie. But if it was true? It's the blood, isn't it, not the law, that matters? It's her blood and my blood. That's my real title to Blent!" In the midst of his lying he spoke truth there, and Mina knew it.
And I don't really mind now that it comes to the point of losing my position in the school as queen; but for all the school for the Tristrams, for Merry Cardew, for Kathleen to see that man is beyond my power of endurance. He will call here, and he will bring poor mother, but as I won't be here I won't feel anything. I will go to-night. I'll slip downstairs and let myself out.
Matty and Clara would follow Janet to the world's end, and, as Janet adhered to Maggie, they were also on Maggie's side. Maggie naturally expected to add to the numbers of her special adherents her own two friends, the Tristrams.
Meanwhile Janie Iver was behaving as a pattern daughter, cherishing her mother and father and making home sweet, exercising, in fact, that prudent economy of wilfulness which preserves it for one great decisive struggle, and scorns to fritter it away on the details of daily life. As for the Tristrams where were they? They seemed to have dropped out of Janie's story. Iver needed comfort.
Might not its god have been ancestor to all the Tristrams? In such a place as this one could have many such fancies; they would come to feed the mind and make it grow, to transform it into something that could appreciate poetry. A big rose-tree climbed the wall of the right wing. Who had picked its blossoms and through how many years?
