Thyrza

CHAPTER XXVII
53/54

But doubtless Mr.
Newthorpe would have intelligence; it was only too certain that the affair was being discussed to its minutest details among the people who knew Egremont.

She determined to see Mr.Newthorpe as soon as Thyrza was transported to the house by Regent's Park.
This took place on the following day, with care which could not have been exceeded had the invalid been a person as important and precious as even the late Miss Paula Tyrrell.

Mrs.Gandle was adequately recompensed; her conviction that Mrs.Ormonde was a real lady suffered no shock under this most delicate of tests.

Mrs.Ormonde bade farewell to Bank Street and Caledonian Road with a great hope that duty or necessity might never lead her thither again.
Thyrza still, of course, needed the nurse's attendance, and accommodation was found for that person under the same roof.

When the party arrived, at mid-day, Mrs.Emerson was at home by appointment.
