I
hardly
know
how
to
express
it
.
The
shortest
way
perhaps
will
be
to
let
you
find
it
out
for
yourself
.
You
have
been
speaking
of
my
lonely
unprotected
life
here
.
It
is
not
a
very
happy
life
,
Henry
—
I
own
that
.
’
She
paused
,
observing
the
growing
anxiety
of
his
expression
as
he
looked
at
her
,
with
a
shy
satisfaction
that
perplexed
him
.
’
Do
you
know
that
I
have
anticipated
your
idea
?
’
she
went
on
.
’
I
am
going
to
make
a
great
change
in
my
life
—
if
your
brother
Stephen
and
his
wife
will
only
consent
to
it
.
’
She
opened
the
desk
of
the
writing
-
table
while
she
spoke
,
took
a
letter
out
,
and
handed
it
to
Henry
.
He
received
it
from
her
mechanically
.
Vague
doubts
,
which
he
hardly
understood
himself
,
kept
him
silent
.
It
was
impossible
that
the
’
change
in
her
life
’
of
which
she
had
spoken
could
mean
that
she
was
about
to
be
married
—
and
yet
he
was
conscious
of
a
perfectly
unreasonable
reluctance
to
open
the
letter
.
Their
eyes
met
;
she
smiled
again
.
’
Look
at
the
address
,
’
she
said
.
’
You
ought
to
know
the
handwriting
—
but
I
dare
say
you
don
’
t
.
’
He
looked
at
the
address
.
It
was
in
the
large
,
irregular
,
uncertain
writing
of
a
child
.
He
opened
the
letter
instantly
.
’
Dear
Aunt
Agnes
,
—
Our
governess
is
going
away
.
She
has
had
money
left
to
her
,
and
a
house
of
her
own
.
We
have
had
cake
and
wine
to
drink
her
health
.
You
promised
to
be
our
governess
if
we
wanted
another
.
We
want
you
.
Mamma
knows
nothing
about
this
.
Please
come
before
Mamma
can
get
another
governess
.
Your
loving
Lucy
,
who
writes
this
.
Clara
and
Blanche
have
tried
to
write
too
.
But
they
are
too
young
to
do
it
.
They
blot
the
paper
.
’
’
Your
eldest
niece
,
’
Agnes
explained
,
as
Henry
looked
at
her
in
amazement
.
’
The
children
used
to
call
me
aunt
when
I
was
staying
with
their
mother
in
Ireland
,
in
the
autumn
.
The
three
girls
were
my
inseparable
companions
—
they
are
the
most
charming
children
I
know
.
It
is
quite
true
that
I
offered
to
be
their
governess
,
if
they
ever
wanted
one
,
on
the
day
when
I
left
them
to
return
to
London
.
I
was
writing
to
propose
it
to
their
mother
,
just
before
you
came
.
’
’
Not
seriously
!
’
Henry
exclaimed
.
Agnes
placed
her
unfinished
letter
in
his
hand
.
Enough
of
it
had
been
written
to
show
that
she
did
seriously
propose
to
enter
the
household
of
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Stephen
Westwick
as
governess
to
their
children
!
Henry
’
s
bewilderment
was
not
to
be
expressed
in
words
.
’
They
won
’
t
believe
you
are
in
earnest
,
’
he
said
.
’
Why
not
?
’
Agnes
asked
quietly
.
