He is civil and kind to you because he is not your master; but you don't know what things he says to me.

Am I to tell Colonel Osborne not to come?
Heavens and earth! How should I ever hold up my head again if I were driven to do that?
He will be here to-day I have no doubt; and Louis will sit there below in the library, and hear his step, and will not come up." "Tell Richard to say you are not at home." "Yes; and everybody will understand why.

If any such orders are to be given, let him give them and then see what will come of it." Mrs.Trevelyan had described Colonel Osborne truly as far as words went, in saying that he had known her since she was a baby, and that he was an older man than her father.

Colonel Osborne's age exceeded her father's by about a month, and as he was now past fifty, he might be considered perhaps, in that respect, to be a safe friend for a young married woman.
