Had Clara left the old woman in doubt on this subject, she would have been a hypocrite.

Captain Aylmer did not often spend a Sunday at Perivale, but when he did, he went to church three times, and submitted himself to the yoke.

He was thinking of the borough votes quite as much as of his aunt's money, and was carrying on his business after the fashion of men.

But Clara found herself compelled to maintain some sort of a fight, though she also went to church three times on Sunday.

And there was another reason why Mrs.Winterfield thought it right to mention Captain Aylmer's name to her niece on this occasion.
"I had hoped," she said, "that it might make no difference in what way my money was left." Clara well understood what this meant, as will, probably, the reader also.
