He entertained Cherry all the way with his admiration of Wilmet's beauty and industry, and when arrived at the station, waited there with her till first the three girls came up with Alice Knevett, white with pink ribbons, and then the choir arrived, marching with the banner with the rood of St.
I don't want to punish the poor children, said Wilmet. 'Oblivion, I said, not only amnesty; and as she did not see perfect comprehension in Wilmet's face, she added, 'I mean, not only that the children should be forgiven, but that their elders should not go hunting for causes, and thinking how this or that could have been prevented. 'I suppose not, said Wilmet.
'Things are unfortunate enough already, she said, with something like Wilmet's dignity; 'but I should never forgive such hopeless ruin to dear Ferdinand's prospects. 'Have I not told you that no prospect is anything to me if you can only be mine?
Good-night, dear old W. W. I meant to have had other talk. 'But oh! you must have some supper! 'I've had it sumptuous! Stilton cheese! So Wilmet's faith in masculine nature rebounded as high as Alda had striven to sink it! Patience was a good deal needed the next day; for Felix, had to rush away from breakfast, and never appeared at all at dinner.
Now that they guessed something to be amiss with him, they had no irritation for him and indeed he gave them no cause for any; the discomfort was partly indeed occasioned by the lack of his usual quiet mirth, but far more by Alda's fastidiousness, and Wilmet's vigilance lest she should be annoyed.
Wilmet's coming home was always a comfort; and though to her it was running from toil to care, the change was life to her. To have been either only the teacher or only the house-wife might have weighed over-heavily on her, but the two tasks together seemed to lighten each other.
Wilmet's satisfaction was not increased when she encountered Sibby. 'Ah, my darling Missie dear, ye're the jewel that's been longed for! The whole house has been mad entirely, and lost widout you; the children rampaging and playing pranks, and Miss Cherry dwining and pining to a skeleton, so that but for Master Clem and that holy woman, the Sisther, 'tis scarce alive ye'd have found her.
Wilmet's anxious mind was well satisfied by her inspection of the new quarters, which, among other conveniences, had that of shortening by ten minutes her walk to school. The family apartments were all upstairs, the space below being entirely taken up by the business, and the kitchens were under ground.
He was hurried and harassed nearly to the extent of his time and capacity; he could not pause to give full consideration to his young brother's project, and was glad that the ungracious task of silencing it should be imposed on one less immediately interested. John Harewood was always at Wilmet's side after four o'clock.
When he returned to the sitting-room in the evening twilight, the first voice he heard, through Theodore's humming, was Wilmet's, as in mitigation 'I daresay he is well educated, and not vulgar. 'Oh! but the sound of it! cried Alice Knevett's voice. 'A mere tradesman! 'Who is the unfortunate? asked Felix, coming forward. 'O Mr. Underwood, how you do steal upon one! Yes, I'm furious!
