You are Cynthia West!" "Cynthia Janet Westwood, known at St. Elizabeth's as Janie Wood." "You you are Westwood's child?" She silently bowed her head. "Oh, Cynthia, Cynthia, if you had but told me before!" He sank down into his chair again, burying his face in his hands with his elbows on his knees. There was a look of self-abasement, of shame and sorrow in his attitude inexplicable to Cynthia.
They had tried in vain to stop him Hubert by angry imperative words, Flossy by a piteous cry of terror; but Westwood's rough sonorous voice rose above all other sounds. He paused for a moment, looking at the General's face of incredulous dismay, at Mrs. Vane's shrinking figure, and his tones softened a little as he spoke again. "I don't wish to say more myself than is necessary.
But, when the poor wretched man was condemned, I said to Alfred,'We really can't let the Smiths be burdened any longer with Andrew Westwood's child she must go to the Union! And Alfred actually went to Westwood, and asked him if he had any relatives to whom the child could be sent didn't you, Alfred? and, when he said that there were none, and that the girl might as well be brought up in the workhouse as anywhere else, for she would always be an outcast like himself I quote his very words, Mr.
One important item she had certainly secured the fact that Westwood's daughter had been named "Cynthia Janet." "Cynthia Janet Westwood" "Cynthia West" it was plain enough to her quick intelligence that the two were one and the same. Hubert had never thought of looking for the name of Westwood's little daughter in the Times. "By-the-bye," said Flossy lightly, "I hear sad tales of you in town.
"Besides, she has another name she told me so herself 'Cynthia Janet' that's what she was christened, she tells me. She can be called 'Jane Wood' at Winstead." The Rector looked up in mild surprise. "Why not 'Jane Westwood, my dear? 'Westwood' is her name." "She had much better not be known as Westwood's daughter," said Mrs. Rumbold, with decision, quite heedless of Cynthia's presence.
"You know perhaps," she went on in some confusion; but Flossy interrupted her. "Mr. Vane, the murdered man, was my brother-in-law. I am the wife of General Vane of Beechfield. I had some notion that this girl Cynthia West was identical with Westwood's daughter, but I could not be sure of the fact. How long was she with you, may I ask?" Then she heard the whole story.
The Greeks formerly kept, and the Chinese now keep these insects in cages for the sake of their song, so that it must be pleasing to the ears of some men. These particulars are taken from Westwood's 'Modern Classification of Insects, vol. ii. 1840, p. 422. Dr.
"But I don't quite understand. If Hubert did not send for her, what right had she to come?" "You may well ask that. What right indeed! An abominable thing, I call it, for Westwood's daughter to go and nurse one of our family! Don't grieve about it, my darling! If Hubert was led astray by her wiles for a little time, you may be sure that he will be ashamed of himself before very long.
"So Westwood's child is to be made a lady of!" said Mrs. Rumbold, laying down the letter with a sense of virtuous indignation. "Well, I hope that Mr. Lepel won't repent it. I wonder what Miss Vane thinks of it?" But Miss Vane had never even heard the name of Jane Wood. Hubert Lepel was gradually achieving literary success. But the road to success is often stony and beset with thorns and briars.
She is Westwood's child, the man who killed your dear father and ought to have been hanged for it long ago!" Enid's hand slipped from her uncle's neck. She knelt on, looking up at him with dazed incredulous eyes and quivering white lips. The communication had given a great shock to her trust in Hubert. "Perhaps perhaps," she said at last, "Hubert did not know."
