At Wyfern she found everything in rigid order, almost cataleptic repose. How was it ever to be home again? What new thing could restore the homefulness where the revered over-life had vanished? And how shall the world be warmed and brightened to him who knows no greater or better man than himself therein no more skilful workman, no diviner thinker, no more godlike doer than himself?
I will tell thee better if less welcome news that I come from conducting her back to Raglan in safety, and have seen its gates close upon her. Thou shalt have thy horse, sir Rowland, an' thou can wait for him an hour; but for thy ride to Wyfern, that, thou seest, would not avail thee.
Tell me whither thou goest, and Ha! art thou there? he cried, interrupting himself as he caught sight of Tom in the chimney corner; and pausing, he stood silent for a moment. Wouldst like to hear, thou rascal, he resumed presently, 'that mistress Dorothy Vaughan got safe to Wyfern this morning? 'God be praised! said Tom Fool. 'But thou shalt not hear it.
It seemed a month since she had been in her own bed at Wyfern, so many new and strange things had crowded into her house, hitherto so still.

As the country was now a good deal quieter, and there was nothing to detain her in London, and much to draw her to Wyfern, Dorothy resolved to go home, and there, if possible, remain. Indeed, there was now nothing else she could well do, except visit Mr. Herbert at Llangattock.
'Were it then so wonderful, Richard, if I should desire to be at home, seeing Wyfern is now safer than Raglan? It was for safety I went thither, thou knowest. 'It might not be wonderful in another, Dorothy, but in thee it were truly wonderful; for now are they of Raglan thy friends, and thou art a brave woman, and lovest thy friends.
But she rode on unhurt, meditating how to secure Upstill when she got him to Wyfern, whither she doubted not he would follow her. Her difficulties were not yet past, however, for just as she reached her own ground, she was once again met by the order to stand.
