“Yet it was nobly done,” murmured Selina.
“But wilful nobleness, and in any case a
mistake,” answered Miss Chressham; “a mistake we are all paying for in misery
and bitterness. How dare he set this woman up as mistress of his house where
she is in a position to work harm among all for whom he ever cared?”
“Maybe you are right, Susannah,” she said
faintly and wistfully, “but—ah, well, I know what they say of him, nor can I
justify my heart to my reason. Yet, if it were certain sin, as it is certain
pain, I could not forbear from caring.”
“I am a fine one to preach,” said Miss
Chressham in a desperate way. “Do I not know that he is lovable?” She left her
chair and hung over Selina. “Do not shed tears about it. We will find some way,
indeed we will.”
Miss Boyle turned and clung to her.
Susannah gathered the delicate fragrant
loveliness into her arms and to her breast. She could feel the agitated heart
beating close to hers and the wet cheek pressed on her shoulder.
“I wonder what she knows of him?” was her
swift thought. “Perhaps it is better this way.”
Selina sobbed like a child—in a helpless
and stricken fashion, clinging tightly the while to Miss Chressham, desperately
revolving some means of comfort and help.
But Miss Boyle was the first to speak.
“I want you to see him”—she steadied
herself with an effort. “Will you?”
Susannah was silent. Miss Boyle withdrew
from her embrace and mastered struggling sobs.
“I want you,” she said humbly, pleading
with wet eyes, “to show him—that,” she pointed to the paper by the neglected
tea-table, “before he sees it for himself, and to ask him—for—” She hesitated.
“For your sake,” finished Miss Chressham,
looking away. “Well?”
“To—to ignore it—to suppress it if he can;
but to ignore it. Tell him that I am going away—if I can; but that I confide in
him to make nothing of it. Oh, you know what to say!” She paused, then gathered
strength again. “Will you do this, dear?”
“Yes,” said Miss Chressham quietly. “I will
send to him at once.”
“Thank you,” whispered Selina; her blurred
eyes shone with gratitude. “You understand what I mean?”
“Yes, I understand.” Susannah smiled sadly.
“I am afraid it is rather a woman’s way, dear, but I can conceive of no other
course to take.”
