The Claverings

CHAPTER XXIII
17/21

"Yes," he said, "I will come across this evening.

But you had better tell him, so that he need not be troubled to see me if he would rather be alone." "Oh, he will see you.

Of course he will see you.

And you will not remember that he ever offended you ?" Mrs.Clavering had written both to Julia and to Harry, and the day of the funeral had been settled.

Harry had already communicated his intention of coming down; and Lady Ongar had replied to Mrs.Clavering's letter, saying that she could not now offer to go to Clavering Park, but that if her sister would go elsewhere with her--to some place, perhaps, on the sea-side--she would be glad to accompany her; and she used many arguments in her letter to show that such an arrangement as this had better be made.
"You will be with my sister," she had said; "and she will understand why I do not write to her myself, and will not think that it comes from coldness." This had been written before Lady Ongar saw Harry Clavering.
Mr.Clavering, when he got to the great house, was immediately shown into the room in which the baronet and his younger brother were sitting.
They had, some time since, finished dinner, but the decanters were still on the table before them.
