They say that Adela Waltham is going to marry Mr.Mutimer.
The match is surely a very strange one.

I am only fearful that it is the making of interested people, and that the poor girl herself has not had much voice in deciding her own fate.

Oh, this money! Adela was worthy of better things.' Mrs.Eldon saw her son with surprise, the more so that she divined the cause of his coming.

When they had talked for a while, Hubert frankly admitted what it was that had brought him.
'I must know,' he said, 'whether the news from Wanley is true' 'But can it concern you, Hubert ?' his mother asked gently.
He made no direct reply, but expressed his intention of going over to Wanley.
'Whom shall you visit, dear ?' 'Mr.Wyvern.' 'The vicar?
But you don't know him personally.' 'Yes, I know him pretty well.

We write to each other occasionally.' Mrs.Eldon always practised most reserve when her surprise was greatest--an excellent rule, by-the-by, for general observation.
