Warrender, like most women, had an instinctive repugnance to the idea of a second marriage at all, but that being determined and beyond the reach of change, her heart ached for the dilemma which was more painful than any which enters into the possibilities of younger life.
It does not want a scholar like you to teach little Geoff." "A scholar like me. How do you know I am a scholar at all?" Mrs. Warrender knew that no answer to this was necessary, and did not attempt it. She went on: "And you are not in a position to want such employment. Don't you see that everybody will begin to inquire what your inducement was?
"Perhaps not that: but it is not as if she had thrown herself upon my sympathy, Theo. She was very self-contained. Nobody could doubt that she felt it dreadfully; but she did not fling herself upon me, as many other women would have done." "I should not think that was at all her character," said Warrender.
"I've got the new Moniture, Miss Warrender, and there are some sweet things in it, some sweetly pretty things," said Lizzie, holding up her paper. Minnie and Chatty, though they were such steady girls, were not above being fluttered by the Moniteur de la Mode. They both abandoned the muslin-work, and passed through the little door of the counter which Mrs. Bagley held open for them.
"Pray, Mr Newland," continued her ladyship, recovering herself, "who gave you that piece of information?" "My dear Lady Maelstrom, pray do not be displeased with me, but I am very particularly interested in this affair. Your love for Mr Warrender, long before your marriage, is well known to me; and it is to that love, to which I referred, when I asked you if it was not most delightful."
'Brother-in-law to that Miss Warrender, you know' that is how people talk, as if it could possibly be his fault. I am sure he bears it like an angel. All he has ever said, even to me, is, 'Minnie, I wish we had looked into things a little more beforehand, and what could I say? I could only say you were all so headstrong, you would have your own way."
His eyes were not clear enough to perceive what was before him. He saw his conception of her, serene in a womanly majesty far above his troubled state of passion, and was quite incapable of perceiving the sympathetic trouble in her face. She held out her hand to him before he could say anything, and said, with a little catch in her breath, "Oh, Mr. Warrender!
Eustace said that was what it would come to. And you would let your daughter marry a man who has been divorced!" Minnie spoke in such a tone of injured majesty that Mrs. Warrender was almost cowed, for it cannot be denied that this speech struck an echo in her own heart. The word was a word of shame.
In short, if she was married, even as Miss Warrender is going to be to-morrow, by a bishop, Lizzie, it would be simply no marriage at all." Lizzie uttered a wild exclamation, clasping her hands and said, "Oh, sir, is there anything that a woman that wishes her well could do?" "There is only one thing you can do: to warn her before it is too late.
He went on with his occupation for some time very gravely, his back turned to the light. At length he said, "I want you to tell me one thing. They say Warrender is coming to live at our house." "I am afraid it is true, Geoff." "Don't you like it, then?" said the boy. "I thought if you did not like it you would not let it be." "My dear, my son Theo is a man.
