Molly did not like the idea of going out for a tête-à-tête walk
with Mr Preston; yet she pined for a little fresh air, would have
liked to have seen the gardens, and have looked at the Manorhouse from different aspects; and, besides this, much as she
recoiled from Mr Preston, she felt sorry for him under the repulse
he had just received. While she was hesitating, and slowly tending
towards consent, Lady Harriet spoke:
『I cannot spare Miss Gibson. If she would like to see the place, I
will bring her over some day myself.』
When he had left the room, Lady Harriet said:
『I daresay it’s my own lazy selfishness has kept you indoors all
day against your will. But, at any rate, you are not to go out
walking with that man. I』ve an instinctive aversion to him; not
entirely instinctive either; it has some foundation in fact; and I
desire you don’t allow him ever to get intimate with you. He’s a
very clever land-agent, and does his duty by papa, and I don’t
choose to be taken up for libel; but remember what I say!』
Then the carriage came round, and after numberless last words
from the earl—who appeared to have put off every possible
direction to the moment when he stood, like an awkward Mercury,
balancing himself on the step of the carriage—they drove back to
the Towers.
『Would you rather come in and dine with us—we should send
you home, of course—or go home straight?』 asked Lady Harriet of
Molly. She and her father had both been sleeping till they drew up
at the bottom of the flight of steps.
『Tell the truth, now and evermore. Truth is generally amusing,
if it’s nothing else!』
『I would rather go back to Miss Brownings』 at once, please,』 said

Molly, with a nightmare-like recollection of the last, the only
evening she had spent at the Towers.
Lord Cumnor was standing on the steps, waiting to hand his
daughter out of the carriage. Lady Harriet stopped to kiss Molly
on the forehead, and to say:
『I shall come some day soon, and bring you a load of Miss
Edgeworth’s tales, and make further acquaintance with Pecksy
and Flapsy.』
『No, don’t, please,』 said Molly, taking hold of her, to detain her.
『You must not come—indeed you must not.』
『Why not?』
『Because I would rather not—because I think that I ought not to
have any one coming to see me who laughs at the friends I am
staying with, and calls them names.』 Molly’s heart beat very fast,
but she meant every word that she said.
『My dear little woman!』 said Lady Harriet, bending over her and
speaking quite gravely. 『I’m very sorry to have called them
names—very, very sorry to have hurt you. If I promise you to be
respectful to them in word and deed—and in very thought, if I
can—you』ll let me then, won’t you?』
Molly hesitated. 『I』d better go home at once; I shall only say
wrong things—and there’s Lord Cumnor waiting all this time.』
『Let him alone; he’s very well amused hearing all the news of
the day from Brown. Then I shall come—under promise?』
So Molly drove off in solitary grandeur; and Miss Brownings』
knocker was loosened on its venerable hinges by the never-ending
peal of Lord Cumnor’s footman.
They were full of welcome, full of curiosity. All through the long
day they had been missing their bright young visitor, and three or

four times in every hour they had been wondering and settling
what everybody was doing at that exact minute. What had become
of Molly during all the afternoon, had been a great perplexity to
them; and they were very much oppressed with a sense of the
great honour she had received in being allowed to spend so many
hours tête-à-tête with Lady Harriet. They were, indeed, more
excited by this one fact than by all the details of the wedding, most
of which they had known of beforehand, and talked over with
much perseverance during the day. Molly began to feel as if there
was some foundation for Lady Harriet’s inclination to ridicule the
worship paid by the good people of Hollingford to their liege lords,
and to wonder with what tokens of reverence they would receive
Lady Harriet if she came to pay her promised visit. She had never
thought of concealing the probability of this call until this evening;
but now she felt as if it would be better not to speak of the chance,
as she was not at all sure if the promise would be fulfilled.
Before Lady Harriet’s call was paid, Molly received another
visit. Roger Hamley came riding over one day with a note from his
mother, and a wasps』-nest as a present from himself. Molly heard
his powerful voice come sounding up the little staircase, as he
asked if Miss Gibson was at home from the servant-maid at the
door; and she was half amused and half annoyed as she thought
how this call of his would give colour to Miss Browning’s fancies. 『I
