‘I am not going to lead you a miserable life about this, Mary,’ she said. ‘We will never speak of it after to-day. And I will try to do my duty to papa, and bear my life without that new happiness, which made it seem so bright. Do you think Mr. Egerton will feel the disappointment very much, Mary?’
‘He cannot help feeling it, dear, if he loves you — as I believe he does.’
‘And we might have been so happy Kvinnor Vattentät jackor together! I was dreaming of Cumber Priory all last night. I thought it had been restored with some of my money, and that the old house was full of life and brightness. Will he go away, do you think, Mary?’
‘I should think it very likely.’
‘And I shall never see him any more. I could not forfeit papa’s love, Mary.’
‘It would be a hard thing if you were to do that for the sake of a stranger, dear.’

Milly had a cold and kept her room, much to the regret of the Miss Collingwoods, who called every day to inquire about her. She made this cold — which was really a very slight affair — an excuse for a week’s solitude, and at the end of that time reappeared among us with no trace of her secret sorrow. It was only I, who was always with Moncler Untuvatakki Naiset her, and knew her to the core of her heart, who could have told how hard a blow that disappointment had been, and how much it cost her to bear it so quietly.
Chapter x. Changes at Thornleigh
The autumn and the early winter passed monotonously enough. There was a good deal of company at Thornleigh Manor at first, for Mrs. Darrell hated solitude; but Moncler Miehet untuvatakki after a little The North Face Naiset takki time she Ralph Lauren Big Pony Polos grew tired of the people her husband knew, and the dinners and garden parties became less frequent. I had found out, very soon after her return, that she was not happy — that this easy prosperous life was in some manner a burden to her.
