Evan Harrington

CHAPTER XIX
19/28

Old Mrs.Bonner is a most just-minded spirit.
Juliana is a cripple, and her grandmother wishes to be sure that when she departs to her Lord the poor cripple may not be chased from this home of hers.

Rose cannot calculate--Harry is in disgrace--there is really no knowing.

This is how I have reckoned; L10,000 extra to Rose; perhaps L1000 or nothing to H.; all the rest of ready-money--a large sum--no use guessing--to Lady Jocelyn; and B.C.to little Bonner--it is worth L40,000 Then she sells, or stops--permanent resident.

It might be so soon, for I can see worthy Mrs.Bonner to be breaking visibly.

But young men will not see with wiser eyes than their own.
