t by the bedside for some time thinking of what I had heard. It was something to have had so strong a proof of Angus Egerton’s loyalty to my dear girl; and assured of that, I did not fear Mrs. Darrell’s malice. Yet I could not help wishing that the marriage had been appointed for an earlier date, and that the time which stepmother and daughter were to spend together had been shorter.
Milly woke, and sat up for about half an hour, supported by pillows, to Women Sweatshirts take a cup of tea, while I talked to her a little about the pleasantest subjects I could think of. She asked if Mr. Egerton had been at Thornleigh that evening.
‘Yes, dear, he has been.’
‘Did you see him, Mary?’
‘No; I did not see him.’
She gave a little disappointed sigh. It was her delight to hear me repeat his messages to her, word for word, ever so many times over.
‘Then you have nothing to tell me about him, dear?’
‘Nothing; Men Slim-Fit Jeans except that I know he loves you.’
‘Ah, Mary, there was a time when you doubted him.’
‘That time is quite past and gone, dear.’
She kissed me as she gave me back her cup and saucer, and promised Men Lightweight Jackets to go to sleep again, while I went to my room to write a long letter Vans Trainers Men home.
I was occupied in this way for more than an hour; and then, having sealed my letter, went down Women Oversized Jackets with it to the hall, to put it on a table where all letters intended to be taken to the post in the morning were placed over-night.

‘Good gracious me!’ I cried involuntarily; ‘have you been out all this time in the rain, Mrs. Darrell?’
‘Yes, I have been out in the rain, Miss Crofton,’ she answered in a vexed impatient tone. ‘Is that so Converse Superhero very shocking to your sober ideas of propriety? I could not endure the house to-night. One has feverish fancies sometimes — at least I have; and I preferred being out in the rain to not being out at all. Good-night.’
She gave me a haughty nod, and ran up-stairs with a quick Męskie Vans Zero Lo light step. The old butler came to lock and bolt the hall-door as the clock struck ten, according to unalterable custom; and I went back to my room, wondering what could have kept Mrs. Darrell out so long — whether she had been upon some special errand, or had only been wandering about the grounds in a purposeless way.
For some days Milly went on very well; then there came a little change for the worse. The symptoms were not quite so favourable. Mr. Hale assured us that there was Unisex no reason for alarm, the recovery was only a little retarded. He had not the least doubt that all would go well. Mr. Egerton was very quick to take fright, however, and insisted on Dr. Lomond, a famous provincial physician, being summoned immediately from Manchester.
The great man Off White x Nike came, and his opinion coincided entirely with that of Mr. Hale. There was not Men Shirt Jackets the slightest causlinks:
