In spite of his paleness and apparent debility, however, his good looks were but little impaired, and his attire, though negligent, was studiously arranged for effect. On Amabel's appearance he made an effort to rise, but she hastened to prevent him.
She started as he looked up, and put her face into Amabel's great myrtle as if she would make it appear that she was smelling to it. 'Well, Charlotte? said he, and the sound of his voice made her speak, but in a frightened, embarrassed whisper. 'Guy Guy Oh! I beg your pardon, but I wanted to 'Well, what? said he, kindly. 'I wanted to make sure that you are not angry with Philip.
She had not been to Ireland for fifteen years, and was sorry to have seen so little of her mother-in-law; and now that it had been proved that Charles could exist without her, she would not have hesitated to leave him, but for Amabel's state of health and spirits, which made going from home out of the question. Charles and Amabel did not think so.
