his interruption, he spoke a few low words to Guy. The latter gravely bowed, and with just a slight glance in my direction, immediately left the room. I was once more alone with Dwight Pollard.
He Vans SK8-Hi Women seemed to feel the situation as much as I did, for it was several Vans Flip Flops Women moments before he spoke, and when he did, his voice had a subdued tremble in it which I had not noticed before.
âMiss Sterling,â he remarked, âmy brother has been talking to you, trying, I presume, to explain to you the distressing scene to which you have just been witness.â
I bowed, for I seemed to have no words to say, though he evidently longed to hear Women Oversized Coats me speak.
âMy brother is not always considerate in his manner of address,â he went on, after a momentâs intent scrutiny of my face. âI hope he has not made you feel other Vans Plimsolls Shoes than satisfied of our good-will towards you?â
âNo,â Vans Sk8-Mid Men I faintly smiled, wishing I knew what feeling prompted this subtle attempt to Dame Adidas Shirts&Tanks learn the nature of the interview which had Women Blouses just passed. âMr. Guy Pollard has never been any thing but polite to me.â
He looked at me again as if he would read my very soul, but I gave him no help to its understanding, and he presently dropped his eyes.
âDid he Converse American Flag tell you,â he at last resumed, with some effort, âthat it is our wish for you to remain in this house till our mother is buried?â
âNo,â I returned, âhe said nothing about it.â
âBut Menn Adidas Sweatshirts you will do Converse Summer Collection so?â he queried, in that rich and deep tone which thrilled so dangerously to my heart.
âIâ I must have time Menn Adidas Shorts to think,â I faltered, taken by surprise, and not seeing my way as clearly as I could wish. âIt is my desire to attend the funeral of Mr. Barrows and Miss Reynolds, and â Mr. Pollard!â I suddenly exclaimed, taking perhaps the most courageous resolution of my life, âI must be honest with you. It is useless for me to deny that the manner and circumstances of your motherâs death have made a great impression upon me; that I cannot, in spite of all explanations, but connect some special significance to the oath you were requested to take; and that, weakened as your mother may have been, something more terrible than the mere shock of hearing of her pastorâs sudden decease must have occasioned emotions so intense as to end in death and delirium. If, therefore, you are willing to assure me, as your brother has done, that it was entirely a fancy of hers that you ever held any communication with Mr. Barrows at the mill, I will gladly promise to disabuse my mind of all unfavorable impressions, and even promise to stay here, if such be your desire, till the days of your trouble are over, and the body of your mother is laid in her grave.â
âAnd has my brother given you such an assurance as you speak of?â
âHe has,â I returned.
âThen why do you ask one from me?â
Was it possible for me to tell him?
âIf it was not enough coming from his lips, how could it be coming from mine?â he continued.
Shame and confusion kept Vans SK8-Hi Men me silent.
âWould it be?â he links:
