When I say we were, I mean he was; for I sat before him quite mute, at first, and amazed at the clearness with which, before his conscience, he had argued his case. He had persuaded himself that it was quite a simple matter to throw over poor Joscelind and keep himself free for the expiration of Lady Vandeleur's term of mourning.
'Is it far from this room? she said. 'Oh no, ma'am, just the staircase it is over this. Mr. Vandeleur thought it was the best. It was Mrs. Vandeleur's when she was a little girl. For the house in Chichester Square had been left to Cousin Agnes by her parents a few years ago; that was why it seemed rather old-fashioned.
