She had gone to Mrs. Lowder on her mother'sdeath—gone with an effort the strain and pain ofwhich made her at present, as she recalled them,reflect on the long way she had travelled since then.There had been nothing else to do—not a pennyin the other house, nothing but unpaid bills that hadgathered thick while its mistress lay mortally ill,and the a...
Merton Densher, who passed the besthours of each night at the office of his newspaper,had at times, during the day, to make up forit, a sense, or at least an appearance, of leisure, inaccordance with which he was not infrequently tobe met, in different parts of the town, at momentswhen men of business are hidden from the publiceye. More than once, ...
His eyes had followed her at this time quite longenough, before he overtook her, to make out morethan ever, in the poise of her head, the pride of herstep—he didn't know what best to call it—a part,at least, of Mrs. Lowder's reasons. He consciouslywinced while he figured his presenting himself asa reason opposed to these; though, at the samemoment,...
The girl said nothing, when they met, about thewords scrawled on the Tauchnitz, and Mrs. Stringhamthen noticed that she had not the book withher. She had left it lying and probably wouldnever remember it at all. Her comrade's decisionwas therefore quickly made not to speak of havingfollowed her; and within five minutes of her return,wonderfully eno...

It droppedfrom Milly more than once that if she had everknown it was so easy—! though her exclamationmostl...
She certainly made up with Susie directly, however,for any allowance she might have had privately toextend to tepid appreciation; since the late and longtalks of these two embraced not only everythingoffered and suggested by the hours they spent apart,but a good deal more besides. She might be as detachedas the occasion required at four o'clock in ...
A prime reason, we must add, why sundry impressionswere not to be fully present to the girl till lateron was that they yielded at this stage, with an effectof sharp supersession, to a detached quarter of anhour—her only one—with Lord Mark. "Have youseen the picture in the house, the beautiful one that'sso like you?"—he was asking that as he stood b...
What it really came to, on the morrow, this firsttime—the time Kate went with her—was that thegreat man had, a little, to excuse himself; had, by arare accident—for he kept his consulting-hours ingeneral rigorously free—but ten minutes to give her;ten mere minutes which he yet placed at her servicein a manner that she admired even more than shecoul...
She had gone out with these last words so in herears that when once she was well away—back thistime in the great square alone—it was as if someinstant application of them had opened out there beforeher.
