Probably her somewhat exaggerated air of indifference simply meant that she had been bored by Wyant's attentions, and that the reminder of them still roused a slight self-consciousness. Amherst was relieved by this conclusion, and murmuring: "Oh, I suppose it can't have been he," led her rapidly on to the Eldorado.
OVER the tea-table Justine forgot the note in her muff; but when she went upstairs to dress it fell to the floor, and she picked it up and laid it on her dressing-table. She had already recognized the hand as Wyant's, for it was not the first letter she had received from him.
She began to see that it was not the sense of Wyant's social deficiencies that had held her back; and the discovery at once set free her judgment of him, enabling her to penetrate to the real causes of her reluctance. She understood now that the flaw she felt was far deeper than any defect of manner.
Amherst had always been used to doing things; now he had to resign himself to enduring a state of things. The material facilities of the life about him, the way in which the machinery of the great empty house ran on like some complex apparatus working in the void, increased the exasperation of his nerves. Dr. Wyant's suggestion which Amherst suspected Justine of having prompted that Mrs.
It seemed impossible that Amherst should condemn her when his condemnation involved the fulfilling of Wyant's calculations: a reaction of scorn would throw him into unhesitating championship of her conduct.
In reply to Wyant's first appeal, which reached her soon after her marriage, she had sent him a hundred dollars; but when the second came, some two months later with a fresh tale of ill-luck and ill-health she had not been able to muster more than half the amount. Finally a third letter had arrived, a short time before their leaving for New York.
Has she been here today?" Mrs. Ansell paused in a painful effort to readjust her thoughts. "But why did she tell you?" "That's simple enough. To prevent Wyant's doing it." "Oh " broke from his hearer, in a long sigh of fear and intelligence. Mr. Langhope looked at her with a smile of miserable exultation. "You knew you suspected all along?
She felt Wyant's face change: his eyes settled on her in a threatening stare. Amherst looked at her also, and there was surprise in his glance. "I think I can answer for my father-in-law. He feels as strongly as I do how much we all owe to Dr. Wyant." He seldom spoke of Mr.
The hardships which he endured resulted in a stroke of paralysis and he was never again able to use his right hand. With an inspiring patience, he set to work to learn to use his left hand, and grew to be more skillful with it than he had been with his right. But even at his best, Wyant's appeal is more limited than Inness's.
But when at length, in her dressing-gown, her loosened hair about her shoulders, she seated herself before the toilet-mirror, Wyant's note once more confronted her. It was absurd to put off reading it if he asked for money again, she would simply confide the whole business to Amherst. She had never spoken to her husband of her correspondence with Wyant.
