But it was at any rate obvious that she shrank from seeing Michael again, and that she was at times dejected in Wentworth's presence. Wentworth perceived the change in her, and attributed it to a most natural and pardonable jealousy of Michael to which, while he made the fullest allowance for it, he had no inclination to yield.
We have both been offered a bribe to cheat our employers of the fruits of our labour; only in my case it is very much worse than in Wentworth's, because his employers would not have suffered, while mine will. 'This is all very plausible, Miss Brewster, but now allow me to tell you that what you have done is a most dishonourable thing, and that you are a disgrace to our common womanhood.

No other sound was to be heard except this stealthy step, no opening of doors, nor whisper of voices, nor commotion of any kind; and after a while Mr Wentworth's curiosity was fully awakened.
Mebbe-so I'm eat a piece dat heart, an' feed de res' to my dog." Wentworth's pipe dropped to the gravel and lay there. He uttered no sound. The wind had died down and save for the droning hum of a billion mosquitoes the silence was absolute. A thin column of smoke streamed from the bowl of the neglected pipe.

Woman-like, she was not nearly ready, and there was much bustling on the part of the repentant Marie who had been retained in spite of her share in the tragedy of Sir Marcus's death before we finally set out for Mrs. Wentworth's. Isobel was very silent on the way, but once I intercepted a sidelong glance and felt my heart leaping madly when she blushed. Mrs.
