[The Claverings by Anthony Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookThe Claverings CHAPTER XXV 5/14
"I wish with all my heart that Hermione could go to her for a time." "I fear that he will not let her," said Mrs.Clavering.
"I do not understand it at all, but Hermione says that the rancor between Hugh and her sister is stronger now than ever." "And Hugh will not be the first to put rancor out of his heart," said the rector. On the following day was the funeral, and Harry went with his father and cousins to the child's grave.
When he met Sir Hugh in the dining-room in the Great House the baronet hardly spoke to him.
"A sad occasion; is it not ?" said Archie; "very sad; very sad." Then Harry could see that Hugh scowled at his brother angrily, hating his humbug, and hating it the more because in Archie's case it was doubly humbug.
Archie was now heir to the property and to the title. After the funeral, Harry went to see Lady Clavering, and again had to endure a conversation about Lady Ongar.
