There
was
a
pause
.
Mr
.
Farebrother
seemed
to
wait
for
a
recognition
of
the
fact
;
and
the
emotion
perceptible
in
the
tones
of
his
fine
voice
gave
solemnity
to
his
words
.
But
no
feeling
could
quell
Fred
’
s
alarm
.
"
I
could
not
be
expected
to
give
her
up
,
"
he
said
,
after
a
moment
’
s
hesitation
:
it
was
not
a
case
for
any
pretence
of
generosity
.
"
Clearly
not
,
when
her
affection
met
yours
.
But
relations
of
this
sort
,
even
when
they
are
of
long
standing
,
are
always
liable
to
change
.
I
can
easily
conceive
that
you
might
act
in
a
way
to
loosen
the
tie
she
feels
towards
you
—
it
must
be
remembered
that
she
is
only
conditionally
bound
to
you
—
and
that
in
that
ease
,
another
man
,
who
may
flatter
himself
that
he
has
a
hold
on
her
regard
,
might
succeed
in
winning
that
firm
place
in
her
love
as
well
as
respect
which
you
had
let
slip
.
I
can
easily
conceive
such
a
result
,
"
repeated
Mr
.
Farebrother
,
emphatically
.
"
There
is
a
companionship
of
ready
sympathy
,
which
might
get
the
advantage
even
over
the
longest
associations
.
"
It
seemed
to
Fred
that
if
Mr
.
Farebrother
had
had
a
beak
and
talons
instead
of
his
very
capable
tongue
,
his
mode
of
attack
could
hardly
be
more
cruel
.
He
had
a
horrible
conviction
that
behind
all
this
hypothetic
statement
there
was
a
knowledge
of
some
actual
change
in
Mary
’
s
feeling
.
"
Of
course
I
know
it
might
easily
be
all
up
with
me
,
"
he
said
,
in
a
troubled
voice
.
"
If
she
is
beginning
to
compare
—
"
He
broke
off
,
not
liking
to
betray
all
he
felt
,
and
then
said
,
by
the
help
of
a
little
bitterness
,
"
But
I
thought
you
were
friendly
to
me
.
"
"
So
I
am
;
that
is
why
we
are
here
.
But
I
have
had
a
strong
disposition
to
be
otherwise
.
I
have
said
to
myself
,
‘
If
there
is
a
likelihood
of
that
youngster
doing
himself
harm
,
why
should
you
interfere
?
Aren
’
t
you
worth
as
much
as
he
is
,
and
don
’
t
your
sixteen
years
over
and
above
his
,
in
which
you
have
gone
rather
hungry
,
give
you
more
right
to
satisfaction
than
he
has
?
If
there
’
s
a
chance
of
his
going
to
the
dogs
,
let
him
—
perhaps
you
could
nohow
hinder
it
—
and
do
you
take
the
benefit
.
’
"
There
was
a
pause
,
in
which
Fred
was
seized
by
a
most
uncomfortable
chill
.
What
was
coming
next
?
He
dreaded
to
hear
that
something
had
been
said
to
Mary
—
he
felt
as
if
he
were
listening
to
a
threat
rather
than
a
warning
.
When
the
Vicar
began
again
there
was
a
change
in
his
tone
like
the
encouraging
transition
to
a
major
key
.
"
But
I
had
once
meant
better
than
that
,
and
I
am
come
back
to
my
old
intention
.
I
thought
that
I
could
hardly
SECURE
MYSELF
in
it
better
,
Fred
,
than
by
telling
you
just
what
had
gone
on
in
me
.
And
now
,
do
you
understand
me
?
want
you
to
make
the
happiness
of
her
life
and
your
own
,
and
if
there
is
any
chance
that
a
word
of
warning
from
me
may
turn
aside
any
risk
to
the
contrary
—
well
,
I
have
uttered
it
.
"
There
was
a
drop
in
the
Vicar
’
s
voice
when
he
spoke
the
last
words
He
paused
—
they
were
standing
on
a
patch
of
green
where
the
road
diverged
towards
St
.
Botolph
’
s
,
and
he
put
out
his
hand
,
as
if
to
imply
that
the
conversation
was
closed
.
Fred
was
moved
quite
newly
