Lady Jane's carriage was driving away.

Would the husband come back?
(See what a thing habit is! Even Mr.Delamayn still mechanically thought of him as the husband--in the face of the law! in the face of the facts!) No.

Then minutes passed.

And no sign of the husband coming back.
It was not wise to make a scandal in the house.

It was not desirable (on his own sole responsibility) to let the servants see what had happened.
Still, there she lay senseless.
