All Thy waves and storms have gone over me." Like the organ, this monument, which stood in the chancel, was much admired by everybody, except Mary, who found it rather theatrical; and, indeed, when nobody was looking, surveyed it with a gloomy and a doubtful eye.
That Morris had something to do with the thing she was quite certain, since she knew well that Mr.Fregelius would never have invented any memorial so beautiful and full of symbolism; also she doubted his ability to pay for a piece of statuary which must have cost many hundreds of pounds.

A third reason, which seemed to her conclusive, was that the face on the statue was the very face of Morris's drawing, although, of course, it was possible that Mr.Fregelius might have borrowed the sketch for the use of the sculptor.

But of all this, although it disturbed her, occurring as it did just when she hoped that Stella was beginning to be forgotten, she spoke not a word to Morris.
"Least said, soonest mended," is a good if a homely motto, or so thought Mary.
The monument had been in place a year, but whenever he was at home Morris's visits to Mr.Fregelius did not grow fewer.

Indeed, his wife noticed that, if anything, they increased in number, which, as the organ was now finished down to the last allegorical carvings of its case, seemed remarkable and unnecessary.

Of course, the fact was that on these occasions the conversation invariably centred on one subject, and that subject, Stella.
