Mrs Yule, a lady rather too pretentious in her tone to be attractive to a man of Reardon's refinement, hastened to assure him how well his books were known in her house, 'though for the run of ordinary novels we don't care much. Miss Yule, not at all pretentious in speech, and seemingly reserved of disposition, was good enough to show frank interest in the author.
As if I couldn't borrow a few pounds until all my own comes to me! Dora Milvain can lend me all I shall want; it won't make the least difference to her. I must have my money very soon now. At about half-past eleven Mrs Yule went downstairs, and entered the study. 'If you are coming to speak about Marian, said her husband, turning upon her with savage eyes, 'you can save your breath.
'I suppose there's one subject on which all women can be subtle, muttered Yule, smiling. The remark was not a kind one, but he did not make it worse by his tone. The listener failed to understand him, and looked with her familiar expression of mental effort. 'We can't help that, he added, with reference to her suggestion.
Just when Mrs Yule and Marian began to hope that this long distemper must surely come to an end, there befell an incident which, at the best of times, would have occasioned misery, and which in the present juncture proved disastrous. It was one morning about eleven. Yule was in his study; Marian was at the Museum; Mrs Yule had gone shopping.

He could hear plainly enough some one working himself into the mouth of the embrasure: but the plague was, that it was so dark that he could not see his hand between him and the sky, much less his foe at two yards off. However, he made a pretty fair guess as to the whereabouts, and, rising softly, discharged such a blow downwards as would have split a yule log.
The proposals were now laid before her, and she allowed the marriage with her to be arranged which Eirik wished to promote. However, I will not now speak at length how this marriage took place; the Yule festival was prolonged and made into a marriage-feast. Great joy was there in Brattahlid during the winter.
The greater part of the work by which Yule earned his moderate income was anonymous: volumes and articles which bore his signature dealt with much the same subjects as his unsigned matter, but the writing was laboured with a conscientiousness unusual in men of his position. The result, unhappily, was not correspondent with the efforts.
