"Yes, my Lord, you have changed. If your Lordship will excuse me for saying so." "How?" "You have grown younger, my Lord, and more yourself, and you speak different sharper, so to say." These words were Balm of Gilead to Jones. He had received no opinion of himself from others till now; he had vaguely mistrusted his voice, unable to estimate in how much it differed from Rochester's.
Fairfax's description; secondly, whether it at all resembled the fancy miniature I had painted of her; and thirdly it will out! whether it were such as I should fancy likely to suit Mr. Rochester's taste. As far as person went, she answered point for point, both to my picture and Mrs. Fairfax's description.
Appealing to the governor to appoint a woman to fill a vacancy on the board of trustees of Rochester's State Industrial School, she herself received the appointment which the Democrat and Chronicle called "a fitting recognition of one of the ablest and best women in the commonwealth." One of her first acts as trustee was a practical one for the girls.
"I thought it just possible I might find some paper which would give me a clew to Rochester's hiding place, so I went through the safe." "How did you get it open?" asked Kent. "I found it open." Kent leapt to his feet. "You found it open!" he stammered. "Why, man, I locked that safe securely just before I left the office at six o'clock." "Sure?" "Absolutely certain." "Were you alone?"
Fairfax either could not, or would not, give me more explicit information of the origin and nature of Mr. Rochester's trials. She averred they were a mystery to herself, and that what she knew was chiefly from conjecture. It was evident, indeed, that she wished me to drop the subject, which I did accordingly. For several subsequent days I saw little of Mr. Rochester.
They were probably too shy, too tentative, to attract Rochester's attention. It is probable, also, that there were plenty of beautiful women about the Court, more mature, more practised in the arts of coquetry than Frances, and very likely not at all `blate' as Carr and his master would put it in showing themselves ready for conquest by the King's handsome favourite.
I should have said so, perhaps, but a livid, vivid spark leapt out of a cloud at which I was looking, and there was a crack, a crash, and a close rattling peal; and I thought only of hiding my dazzled eyes against Mr. Rochester's shoulder. The rain rushed down. He hurried me up the walk, through the grounds, and into the house; but we were quite wet before we could pass the threshold.
Then he remembered how much he was risking, began again to dissemble, complimented the disputants on their skill and learning, and asked time to consider what had been said. Slow as James was, he could not but see that this was mere trifling. He told Barillon that Rochester's language was not that of a man honestly desirous of arriving at the truth.
"Then you mean to give up the pursuit?" "Not exactly. I love this mysterious beauty too well to do that; and when next I find her, be it where it may, I shall take care she does not slip so easily through my fingers." "I cannot forget that page," said Ormiston, musingly. "It is singular since, he wears the Earl of Rochester's livery, that we have never seen him before among his followers.
"This was delivered empty at Rochester's apartment last night it is addressed to him. Who wrote it?" "I did," exclaimed Mrs. McIntyre. "I felt I must consult either you, Mr. Kent, or Mr.
