My Lady Ludlow

CHAPTER XII
11/41

The next morning he was dead.
Miss Galindo told my lady.

Miss Galindo herself cried plentifully, but my lady, although very much distressed, could not cry.

It seemed a physical impossibility, as if she had shed all the tears in her power.
Moreover, I almost think her wonder was far greater that she herself lived than that Mr.Horner died.

It was almost natural that so faithful a servant should break his heart, when the family he belonged to lost their stay, their heir, and their last hope.
Yes! Mr.Horner was a faithful servant.

I do not think there are many so faithful now; but perhaps that is an old woman's fancy of mine.
