     ;Now tell me�察�dear�察─�she said�察 �what comes first�拭─�

     ;The first thing is�察─�said Hope�察 �to have Emilia's absence explained to 

Mrs。 Meredith in some such way that she will think no more of it�察�and not 

talk about it。; 

     ;Certainly�察─�said Aunt Jane。         ;There is but one way to do that。 I will 

call on her myself。; 

     ;You�察�auntie�拭─�said Hope。 

     ;Yes�察�I�察─�said her aunt。      ;I have owed her a call for five years。 It is the 

only thing that will excite her so much as to put all else out of her head。; 

     ;O auntie� ─�said Hope�察�greatly relieved�察 �if you only would� �But ought 

you really to go out�拭      �It is almost raining。; 

     ;I shall go�察─�said Aunt Jane�察�decisively�察 �if it rains little boys� ─�

     ;But will not Mrs。 Meredith wonder�拭─�began Hope。 

     ;That is one advantage�察─�interrupted her aunt�察 �of being an absurd old 

woman。       Nobody   ever   wonders   at   anything   I   do�察  �or   else   it   is   that   they 

never stop wondering。; 

     She sent Ruth erelong to order the horses。            Hope collected her various 

wrappers�察�and Ruth�察�returning�察�got her mistress into a state of preparation。 

     ;If I might say one thing more�察─�Hope whispered。 

     ;Certainly�察─  �said   her   aunt。   ;Ruth�察 �go   to   my   chamber�察  �and   get   me   a 

pin。; 

     ;What kind of a pin�察�ma'am�拭─�asked that meek handmaiden�察�from the 

doorway。 

     ;What     a  question� ─    �said  her   indignant    mistress。    ;Any     kind。   The 

common pin of North America。              Now�察�Hope�拭─�as the door closed。 

     ;I think it better�察�auntie�察─�said Hope�察 �that Philip should not stay here 

longer at present。      You can truly say that the house is full�察�and; 

     ;I have   just had   a   note from  him�察─�said Aunt Jane severely。  ;He   has 

gone to lodge at the hotel。        What next�拭─�

     ;Aunt Jane�察─�said Hope�察�looking   her full in the   face�察 �I have not   the 

slightest idea what to do next。; 

     �─�The next   thing   for   me�察─  �thought   her   aunt�察   �is   to   have   a  little   plain 

speech with that misguided child upstairs。;��

     ;I can see no way out�察─�pursued Hope。 

     ;Darling� ─  �said Aunt   Jane�察  �with   a   voice   full   of   womanly   sweetness�察�

;there is always a way out�察�or else the world would have stopped long ago。 

Perhaps it would have been better if it had stopped�察�but you see it has not。 

All we can do is�察�to live on and try our best。; 

     She   bade   Hope   leave   Emilia   to   her�察  �and   furthermore   stipulated   that 

Hope should go to her pupils as usual�察�that afternoon�察�as it was their last 

lesson。   The   young   girl   shrank   from   the   effort�察  �but   the   elder   lady   was 

inflexible。   She   had   her   own   purpose   in   it。   Hope   once   out   of   the   way�察�

Aunt Jane could deal with Emilia。 

     No   human   being�察  �when   met   face   to   face   with   Aunt   Jane�察  �had   ever 

failed to yield up to her the whole truth she sought。                  Emilia was on that 

day  no   exception。       She   was   prostrate�察  �languid�察  �humble�察  �denied   nothing�察�

was ready to concede every point but one。                Never�察�while she lived�察�would 

she dwell beneath John Lambert's roof again。                 She had left it impulsively�察�

she admitted�察  �scarce   knowing   what   she   did。  But   she   would   never   return 

there to live。      She would go once more and see that all was in order for 

Mr。 Lambert�察�both in the house and on board the yacht�察�where they were to 

have taken up their abode for a time。 There were new servants in the house�察�

a new captain on the yacht�察�she would trust Mr。 Lambert's comfort to none 

of them�察�she would do her full duty。 Duty� �the more utterly she felt herself 

to   be   gliding   away   from   him   forever�察  �the   more   pains   she   was   ready   to 

lavish   in   doing   these   nothings   well。 About   every   insignificant   article   he 

owned she seemed to feel the most scrupulous and wife´like responsibility�察�

while she yet knew that all she had was to him nothing�察�compared with the 

possession   of   herself�察  �and   it   was   the  thought   of   this   last   ownership   that 

drove her to despair。 

     Sweet     and    plaintive    as  the  child's   face   was�察   �it  had  a  glimmer      of 

wildness and a hunted look�察�that baffled Aunt Jane a little�察�and compelled 

her to temporize。        She consented that Emilia should go to her own house�察�

on condition that she would not see Philip��which was readily and even 

eagerly   promised��and   that   Hope   should   spend   the   night   with   Emilia�察�

which proposal was ardently accepted。

     It occurred to Aunt Jane that nothing better could happen than for John 

Lambert�察�on returning�察�to find his wife at home�察�and to secure this result�察�if 

possible�察�she telegraphed to him to come at once。 

     Meantime Hope gave her inevitable music´lesson�察�so absorbed in her 

own   thoughts   that   it   was   all   as   mechanical   as   the   metronome。    As   she 

came out upon the Avenue for the walk home�察�she saw a group of people 

from   a   gardener's   house�察  �who   had   collected   beside   a   muddy   crossing�察�

where   a   team   of   cart´horses   had   refused   to   stir。 Presently   they   sprang 

forward with a great jerk�察�and a little Irish child was thrown beneath the 

wheel。 Hope sprang forward to grasp the child�察�and the wheel struck her 

also�察�but she escaped with a dress torn and smeared�察�while the cart passed 

over the little girl's arm�察�breaking it in two places。 She screamed and then 

grew  faint�察  �as   Hope   lifted   her。  The   mother   received   the   burden   with   a 

wail of anguish�察�the other Irishwomen pressed around her with the dense 

and suffocating sympathy of their nation。 Hope bade one and another run 

for   a   physician�察  �but   nobody   stirred。   There   was   no   surgical   aid   within   a 

mile   or   more。    Hope   looked   round   in   despair�察  �then   glanced   at   her   own 

disordered garments。 

     ;As   sure   as   you   live� ─  �shouted   a   well´known   voice   from   a   carriage 

which   had   stopped   behind   them。        ;If   that   isn't   Hope   what's´her´name�察�

wish I may never� �Here's a lark�            �Let me come there� ─        �And the speaker 

pushed through the crowd。
