"I will struggle
no longer with destiny. ’
‘But why?’ asked Melusine, astonished, and somewhat overwhelmed by the
other girl’s volubility. She looked more than her sixty odd years, in spite of a still
lush head of black hair, streaked with a little grey, which was visible under her
cap and of immediate interest to Gerald. . “Yes,” she said, very faintly. "What do you want fot that coat, friend?" asked Jack, as he came up. It
was a great weight from her shoulders to confide in
another human being, and she suspected he did truly
believe her. This ice was used for refrigerator purposes and for McClintock's
evening peg. Nice goings on. She came very near that night to resolving that she would return to her home
next morning. She smiled and started for the stairs without reply. "What!" she exclaimed, almost choked with passion,—"I advised you to burthen
yourself with that idle and good-for-nothing pauper, who'm you ought rather to
send to the workhouse than maintain at your own expense, did I! I advised you
to take him as an apprentice; and, so far from getting the regular fee with him, to
give him a salary? I advised you to feed him, and clothe him, and treat him like
his betters; to put up with his insolence, and wink at his faults? I counselled all
this, I suppose. “Hello, Teddy!” she answered. ’
‘So Charvill did tell him,’ Gerald said, once more staring into the hole in the
wall. Capes flashed to an understanding of her intention, sprang to his feet, and
opened the door for her retreat.
