"You have lately become acquainted with Miss Yolland, I am told," she began. "Whew!" whistled Godfrey, yet hardly as if he were surprised. "I have been compelled to know a good deal of that lady." "As lady's-maid in her family, I believe." "Yes," said Mary then changing her tone after a slight pause, went on: "Mr. Wardour, I owe you more than I can ever thank you for.
It was a great blessing that Harold was not held back but rather aided and stimulated by the example of the man to whom he most looked up; but with his characteristic silence, it was long before I found that, having felt, beside his mother's death-bed, how far his spiritual wants had outgrown me, he had carried them to Ben Yolland, though the old morning habit remained unbroken, and he always came to the little room I had made like my old one.
He was so quiet that all hoped except George Yolland, who knew the mischief had become irreparable; and though he never was actually sensible, the borderland was haunted no more with images of evil or of terror, but with the fair visions fit for "him that overcometh." Once they thought he fancied he was showing his children to Viola or to me.
"You must be mistaken about Rosanna Spearman," I said. "If she had been going to leave her present situation, she would have mentioned it, in the first place, to me." "Mistaken?" cries Mrs. Yolland. "Why, only an hour ago she bought some things she wanted for travelling of my own self, Mr. Betteredge, in this very room.
He only came in to dinner, and after it told me very kindly that he must leave me alone again, for he wanted to see Ben Yolland. A good person for him to wish to see, "but was all this restlessness?" thought this foolish Lucy.
That journey with the curate was comfortable in itself, and a great comfort to me afterwards. We could not but rejoice together over that Sunday, and Ben Yolland showed himself deeply struck with the simplicity and depth that had been revealed to him, the reality of whatever Harold said, and his manner of taking his dire disappointment as the just and natural outcome of his former life.
Why didn't you tell me before? He'll be madly in love with her by this time! They always are." "But where's the harm, Mary? She's a very handsome lady, and of a good family." "We're all of good enough family," said Mary, a little petulantly. "But that Miss Yolland Letty that Miss Yolland she's a bad woman, Letty." "I never heard you say such a hard word of anybody before, Mary!
The other things were accounts and all my letters, most of which could follow the fate of all that he had touched in those last days. However, the visit was a comfort to me. George Yolland answered my questions, and told me much more than poor Dermot could do in his stupefaction from grief, fatigue, and illness, even if I then could have understood.
The next thing, of course, will be, that you begin to hate the person, to whom you said them, and to persuade yourself she drew them out of you; and so you break off all communication with the obnoxious person; who being, in the present instance, that black-faced sheep, Sepia Yolland, she is very sorry beforehand, and hates Mr.
"I was wondering whether Miss Yolland and he " Mary started from her seat, white as the table-cloth. "Letty!" she said, in a voice of utter dismay, "you don't mean that woman is is making friends with him?" "I saw them together more than once, and they seemed well, on very good terms." "Then it is all over with him!" cried Mary, in despair. "O Letty! what is to be done?
