"I shall not let him out of my sight, after this, till he's well again." She had a kind of authority in sending Kenby away with them which was not lost upon the witnesses.

He asked them to come into the reading-room a moment with him, and Mrs.March wondered if he were going to make some excuse to her for himself; but he said: "I don't know how we're to manage about the Triscoes.

The general will have a room to himself, but if Mrs.Adding takes Rose in with her, it leaves Miss Triscoe out, and there isn't a room to be had in this house for love or money.

Do you think," he appealed directly to Mrs.March, "that it would do to offer her my room at the Swan ?" "Why, yes," she assented, with a reluctance rather for the complicity in which he had already involved her, and for which he was still unpunished, than for what he was now proposing.

"Or she could come in with me, and Mr.March could take it." "Whichever you think," said Kenby so submissively that she relented, to ask: "And what will you do ?" He laughed.
