[Evan Harrington by George Meredith]@TWC D-Link bookEvan Harrington CHAPTER XXXVIII 11/14
Evan takes a pleasure in speaking of you.
You and Lady Jocelyn are his great themes. Why is he to be kept ignorant of your good fortune? The spitting of blood is bad.
You must winter in a warm climate.
I do think that London is far better for you in the late Autumn than Hampshire.
May I ask my sister Harriet to invite you to reside with her for some weeks? Nothing, I know, would give her greater pleasure.' Juliana answers this-- 'If you love me--I sometimes hope that you do--but the feeling of being loved is so strange to me that I can only believe it at times--but, Caroline--there, I have mustered up courage to call you by your Christian name at last--Oh, dear Caroline! if you do love me, do not tell Mr.Harrington.I go on my knees to you to beg you not to tell him a word.
