[Elster’s Folly by Mrs. Henry Wood]@TWC D-Link bookElster’s Folly CHAPTER XI 19/21
If you require any assistance or information in the various arrangements that now devolve upon you, I shall be happy to render both.
There will be a good deal to do one way or another; more, I dare say, than your inexperience has the least idea of. You will have your solicitor at hand, of course; but if you want me, you know where to find me." The Rector's words were courteous, but the tone was not warm, and the title "Lord Hartledon" grated on Val's ear.
In his impulse he grasped the speaker's hand, pouring forth a heartfelt prayer. "Oh, Dr.Ashton, will you not forgive me? The horrible trouble I brought upon myself is over now.
I don't rejoice in it under the circumstances, Heaven knows; I only speak of the fact.
Let me come to your house again! Forgive me for the past." "In one sense the trouble is over, because the debts that were a formidable embarrassment to Mr.Elster are as nothing to Lord Hartledon," was the reply.
