If Santori operates and he is quite willing to undertake it she may live, and not only may she live, but she may be absolutely strong and well again, able to walk and ride, and enjoy her life to the full. It rests with her and with you to decide, yes or no!" Walden was silent. "I may as well tell you," went on Forsyth "that she Miss Vancourt herself, is ready to risk it.
Courtenay tossed her head, bit her lip, and rustled out of the room in a huff. She reported her ill-success with 'Maryllia Van' to her husband, who, in his turn, reported it to Lord Roxmouth, who straightway conveyed these and all other items of the progress or retrogression of his wooing to Mrs. Fred Vancourt.
"I think," pursued Walden "if you knew that someone very dear to you had been laid in that sarcophagus 'to eternal rest, you would resent any disturbance of even the mere dust of what was once life, -would you not?" "I might;" said Cicely dubiously "But I have never had any 'someone very dear to me' except Maryllia Vancourt. And if she died, I should die too!"
But you, with your position and good looks, should be able to prevent any such possibility as you suggest. Miss Vancourt is not the only woman in the world." "By no means," and Roxmouth strolled into the garden, Longford walking beside him "But she is the only woman I at present know, who, if she obeys her aunt's wishes, will have a fortune of several millions.

"An' she's called at the schoolhouse, but Miss Eden, she worn't in an' Susie Prescott saw her, an' Susie was that struck that she 'adn't a wurrd to say, so she tells us, an' Miss Vancourt she went to old Josey Letherbarrow's straight away an' there she stayed iver so long.
Bainton's sentiments were a fair reflection of the general village opinion, though in the town of Riversford the tide of feeling ran high, and controversy raged furiously, over the ways and doings of Miss Vancourt and her society friends.
