“
Who
is
he
,
my
dear
?
”
inquired
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
.
“
Oh
,
no
one
,
”
said
Jessica
,
pursing
her
pretty
lips
.
“
He
’
s
just
a
student
there
.
He
hasn
’
t
anything
.
”
The
other
half
of
this
picture
came
when
young
Blyford
,
son
of
Blyford
,
the
soap
manufacturer
,
walked
home
with
her
.
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
was
on
the
third
floor
,
sitting
in
a
rocking
-
chair
reading
,
and
happened
to
look
out
at
the
time
.
“
Who
was
that
with
you
,
Jessica
?
”
she
inquired
,
as
Jessica
came
upstairs
.
“
It
’
s
Mr
.
Blyford
,
mamma
,
”
she
replied
.
“
Is
it
?
”
said
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
.
“
Yes
,
and
he
wants
me
to
stroll
over
into
the
park
with
him
,
”
explained
Jessica
,
a
little
flushed
with
running
up
the
stairs
.
“
All
right
,
my
dear
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
.
“
Don
’
t
be
gone
long
.
”
As
the
two
went
down
the
street
,
she
glanced
interestedly
out
of
the
window
.
It
was
a
most
satisfactory
spectacle
indeed
,
most
satisfactory
.
In
this
atmosphere
Hurstwood
had
moved
for
a
number
of
years
,
not
thinking
deeply
concerning
it
.
His
was
not
the
order
of
nature
to
trouble
for
something
better
,
unless
the
better
was
immediately
and
sharply
contrasted
.
As
it
was
,
he
received
and
gave
,
irritated
sometimes
by
the
little
displays
of
selfish
indifference
,
pleased
at
times
by
some
show
of
finery
which
supposedly
made
for
dignity
and
social
distinction
.
The
life
of
the
resort
which
he
managed
was
his
life
.
There
he
spent
most
of
his
time
.
When
he
went
home
evenings
the
house
looked
nice
.
With
rare
exceptions
the
meals
were
acceptable
,
being
the
kind
that
an
ordinary
servant
can
arrange
.
In
part
,
he
was
interested
in
the
talk
of
his
son
and
daughter
,
who
always
looked
well
.
The
vanity
of
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
caused
her
to
keep
her
person
rather
showily
arrayed
,
but
to
Hurstwood
this
was
much
better
than
plainness
.
There
was
no
love
lost
between
them
.
There
was
no
great
feeling
of
dissatisfaction
.
Her
opinion
on
any
subject
was
not
startling
.
They
did
not
talk
enough
together
to
come
to
the
argument
of
any
one
point
.
