He
added
the
last
phrase
so
respectfully
that
she
was
mollified
,
and
rejoined
with
a
sigh
:
“
I
’
m
afraid
I
can
’
t
help
you
much
.
”
“
Why
?
”
he
questioned
in
his
turn
;
and
she
replied
that
there
weren
’
t
many
books
anyhow
,
and
that
she
’
d
hardly
read
any
of
them
.
“
The
worms
are
getting
at
them
,
”
she
added
gloomily
.
“
Are
they
?
That
’
s
a
pity
,
for
I
see
there
are
some
good
ones
.
”
He
seemed
to
have
lost
interest
in
their
conversation
,
and
strolled
away
again
,
apparently
forgetting
her
.
His
indifference
nettled
her
,
and
she
picked
up
her
work
,
resolved
not
to
offer
him
the
least
assistance
.
Apparently
he
did
not
need
it
,
for
he
spent
a
long
time
with
his
back
to
her
,
lifting
down
,
one
after
another
,
the
tall
cob
-
webby
volumes
from
a
distant
shelf
.
“
Oh
,
I
say
!
”
he
exclaimed
;
and
looking
up
she
saw
that
he
had
drawn
out
his
handkerchief
and
was
carefully
wiping
the
edges
of
the
book
in
his
hand
.
The
action
struck
her
as
an
unwarranted
criticism
on
her
care
of
the
books
,
and
she
said
irritably
:
“
It
’
s
not
my
fault
if
they
’
re
dirty
.
”
He
turned
around
and
looked
at
her
with
reviving
interest
.
“
Ah
—
then
you
’
re
not
the
librarian
?
”
“
Of
course
I
am
;
but
I
can
’
t
dust
all
these
books
.
Besides
,
nobody
ever
looks
at
them
,
now
Miss
Hatchard
’
s
too
lame
to
come
round
.
”
“
No
,
I
suppose
not
.
”
He
laid
down
the
book
he
had
been
wiping
,
and
stood
considering
her
in
silence
.
She
wondered
if
Miss
Hatchard
had
sent
him
round
to
pry
into
the
way
the
library
was
looked
after
,
and
the
suspicion
increased
her
resentment
.
“
I
saw
you
going
into
her
house
just
now
,
didn
’
t
I
?
”
she
asked
,
with
the
New
England
avoidance
of
the
proper
name
.
She
was
determined
to
find
out
why
he
was
poking
about
among
her
books
.
“
Miss
Hatchard
’
s
house
?
Yes
—
she
’
s
my
cousin
and
I
’
m
staying
there
,
”
the
young
man
answered
;
adding
,
as
if
to
disarm
a
visible
distrust
:
“
My
name
is
Harney
—
Lucius
Harney
.
She
may
have
spoken
of
me
.
”
“
No
,
she
hasn
’
t
,
”
said
Charity
,
wishing
she
could
have
said
:
“
Yes
,
she
has
.
”
“
Oh
,
well
—
—
”
said
Miss
Hatchard
’
s
cousin
with
a
laugh
;
and
after
another
pause
,
during
which
it
occurred
to
Charity
that
her
answer
had
not
been
encouraging
,
he
remarked
:
“
You
don
’
t
seem
strong
on
architecture
.
”
