ined to make the piano shriek in utter discord. He had really seen no communicable ground for suspecting any UGG Classic Short ususual feeling between Stephen and Maggie; his own reason told him so, and he wanted to go home at once that he might reflect coolly on these false images, till he had convinced himself of their nullity. But then, again, he wanted to stay as long as Stephen stayed — always to be present when Stephen was present with Maggie. It seemed to poor Philip so natural, nay, inevitable, that any man who was near Maggie should fall in love with her! There was no promise of happiness for her if she were Salomon Ellipse 2 GTX Kengät beguiled into loving Stephen Guest; and this thought emboldened Philip Peony Tall Škornji 5802 to view his own love for her in the light of a less unequal offering. He was beginning to play very falsely under this deafening inward tumult, and Lucy was looking at him in astonishment, when Mrs. Tulliver’s entrance to summon them to lunch came as an excuse for abruptly breaking off the music.
“Ah, Mr. Philip!” said Mr. Deane, when they entered the dining-room, “I’ve not seen you for a long while. Your father’s not at home, I think, is he? I went after him to the office the other day, and they said he was out of town.”
“He’s been to Mudport on business for several days,” said Philip; “but he’s come back now.”

“Yes, he has.”
“Ah!” continued Miehet Nike LunarGlide+4 Mr. Deane, as he dispensed the pigeonpie, “he must find farming a heavy item — an expensive hobby. I never had a hobby myself, never would give in to that. And the worst of all hobbies are those that people think they Filip Forsberg Jersey can get money at. Dresy They shoot their money down like corn out of a sack then.”
Lucy felt a little nervous under her father’s apparently gratuitous criticism of Mr. Wakem’s expenditure. But it ceased there, and CG Miehet Ontario Parka Mr. Deane became unusually silent and meditative during his luncheon. Lucy, accustomed to watch all indications in her father, and having reasons, which had recently become strong, for an extra interest in what referred to the Wakems, felt an unsual curiosity to know Mike Vernon Jersey what had prompted her father’s questions. His subsequent silence made her suspect there had been some special reason for them in his mind.
With this idea in her head, she resorted to her usual Salomon Speedcross 4 Gore-Tex Kengät plan when she wanted to tell or ask her father anything particular: she found a reason for her aunt Tulliver to leaving the dining-room after dinner, and seated herself on a small stool at her father’s knee. Mr. Deane, under those circumstances, considered that he tasted some of the most agreeable moments his merits had purchased him in life, notwithstanding that Lucy, disliking to have her hair powdered with snuff, usually began by mastering his snuff-box on such occasions.
