it, that can override the Court of Chancery. We shall perhaps have
to try it before we are done with this!" With that he rose, and we
walked home together--without saying another word.

My mother was very inquisitive about the whole thing--women always
are. Father and I between us told her all it was necessary for her
to know. I think we were both afraid that, woman-like, she would
make trouble for us by saying or doing something injudicious.
Indeed, she manifested such hostility towards Rupert St. Leger that
it is quite on the cards that she may try to injure him in some way.
So when father said that he would have to go out shortly again, as he
wished to consult his solicitor, I jumped up and said I would go with
him, as I, too, should take advice as to how I stood in the matter.
