He saw well enough that Helen Darley would certainly kill herself or lose her wits, if he could not lighten her labors and lift off a large part of her weight of cares. The worst of it was, that she of those women who naturally overwork themselves, like those horses who will go at the top of their pace until they drop. Such women are dreadfully unmanageable.
As they passed over the bridge, the wounded men clanged to the gates, and two of them took their places on the tower above, while, as the party tramped across and turned to descend the zigzag, a thought came to Mark, and he turned back to glance at the window of his bed-chamber, as he wished that Ralph Darley were uninjured and marching by his side to help in the rescue of his father and sister.
All the suspicions of the little white haired old lady seemed to be revived by Sydney's manner of receiving the intelligence she gave him. "Maybe I've made a mistake about it," she said, pinching nervously at the edges of a white apron she wore. "It may be another man of the same name."

So the unbeautiful get many more lovers than the beauties; only, as there are more of them, their lovers are spread thinner and do not make so much show. The young master stood looking at Helen Darley with a kind of tender admiration. She was such a picture of the martyr by the slow social combustive process, that it almost seemed to him he could see a pale lambent aureole round her head.
Horace Carey did not dream that his confidence and good will that day were turning the balances for Darley Champers for the remainder of his life.

"Oh Mark!" cried his sister, "is there any danger?" "Not if you sit fast," he cried. "Can you keep up if we canter?" "Try," said the prisoner excitedly. "If not, go on, and save yourselves."
I shall have to be put to bed, I expect, in the same room with young Ralph Darley." "Then I shan't come," said the boy, scowling. "Why?"
