Here
Mr
.
Featherstone
pulled
at
both
sides
of
his
wig
as
if
he
wanted
to
deafen
himself
,
and
his
sister
went
away
ruminating
on
this
oracular
speech
of
his
.
Notwithstanding
her
jealousy
of
the
Vincys
and
of
Mary
Garth
,
there
remained
as
the
nethermost
sediment
in
her
mental
shallows
a
persuasion
that
her
brother
Peter
Featherstone
could
never
leave
his
chief
property
away
from
his
blood
-
relations
:
—
else
,
why
had
the
Almighty
carried
off
his
two
wives
both
childless
,
after
he
had
gained
so
much
by
manganese
and
things
,
turning
up
when
nobody
expected
it
?
—
and
why
was
there
a
Lowick
parish
church
,
and
the
Waules
and
Powderells
all
sit
ting
in
the
same
pew
for
generations
,
and
the
Featherstone
pew
next
to
them
,
if
,
the
Sunday
after
her
brother
Peter
’
s
death
,
everybody
was
to
know
that
the
property
was
gone
out
of
the
family
?
The
human
mind
has
at
no
period
accepted
a
moral
chaos
;
and
so
preposterous
a
result
was
not
strictly
conceivable
.
But
we
are
frightened
at
much
that
is
not
strictly
conceivable
.
When
Fred
came
in
the
old
man
eyed
him
with
a
peculiar
twinkle
,
which
the
younger
had
often
had
reason
to
interpret
as
pride
in
the
satisfactory
details
of
his
appearance
.
"
You
two
misses
go
away
,
"
said
Mr
.
Featherstone
.
"
I
want
to
speak
to
Fred
.
"
"
Come
into
my
room
,
Rosamond
,
you
will
not
mind
the
cold
for
a
little
while
,
"
said
Mary
.
The
two
girls
had
not
only
known
each
other
in
childhood
,
but
had
been
at
the
same
provincial
school
together
(
Mary
as
an
articled
pupil
)
,
so
that
they
had
many
memories
in
common
,
and
liked
very
well
to
talk
in
private
.
Indeed
,
this
tete
-
a
-
tete
was
one
of
Rosamond
’
s
objects
in
coming
to
Stone
Court
.
Old
Featherstone
would
not
begin
the
dialogue
till
the
door
had
been
closed
.
He
continued
to
look
at
Fred
with
the
same
twinkle
and
with
one
of
his
habitual
grimaces
,
alternately
screwing
and
widening
his
mouth
;
and
when
he
spoke
,
it
was
in
a
low
tone
,
which
might
be
taken
for
that
of
an
informer
ready
to
be
bought
off
,
rather
than
for
the
tone
of
an
offended
senior
.
He
was
not
a
man
to
feel
any
strong
moral
indignation
even
on
account
of
trespasses
against
himself
.
It
was
natural
that
others
should
want
to
get
an
advantage
over
him
,
but
then
,
he
was
a
little
too
cunning
for
them
.
"
So
,
sir
,
you
’
ve
been
paying
ten
per
cent
for
money
which
you
’
ve
promised
to
pay
off
by
mortgaging
my
land
when
I
’
m
dead
and
gone
,
eh
?
You
put
my
life
at
a
twelvemonth
,
say
.
But
I
can
alter
my
will
yet
.
"
Fred
blushed
.
He
had
not
borrowed
money
in
that
way
,
for
excellent
reasons
.
But
he
was
conscious
of
having
spoken
with
some
confidence
(
perhaps
with
more
than
he
exactly
remembered
)
about
his
prospect
of
getting
Featherstone
’
s
land
as
a
future
means
of
paying
present
debts
.
"
I
don
’
t
know
what
you
refer
to
,
sir
.
I
have
certainly
never
borrowed
any
money
on
such
an
insecurity
.
Please
to
explain
.
