And are they all well at Dr. Rankin's?
gpt
Very well, ma'am, I believe. I saw Lady Greystock in her own rooms an hour before I came away. I said that I was coming here, and she said --Eleanor smiled--
human
Lady Greystock said, ma'am, 'My duty to grandmamma Morier--mind you give the message right.'
gpt
Ah, said Mrs. Morier,
human
Lady Greystock is wonderfully well.
gpt
There is nothing the matter with her, ma'am.
human
Except that she never goes to Beremouth. What made the faint carnation mount to Eleanor's face?--what made the woman pause to collect herself before she spoke?--
gpt
Oh, ma'am, she is right not to try herself. She'll go there one day.
human
I suppose you like being at Dr. Rankin's?
gpt
Very much. My place of wardrobe-woman is not hard, but it is responsible. It suits me well. And Mrs. Rankin is very good to me. And I am near Lady Greystock.
human
How fond you are of her!
gpt
There is not anything I would not do for her, said the woman with animation.
human
I hope, indeed Dr. Rankin tells me to believe, that I have had a great deal to do with Lady Greystock's cure. She has treated me like a sister; and I can never feel for any one what I feel for her.
gpt
Lady Greystock always speaks of you in a truly affectionate way. She says you have known better days.
human
gpt
You came just as she came.
human
Only two months after.
gpt
And did you like her from the first?
human
Oh, Mrs. Morier, you know she was very ill when she came. I never thought of love, but of every care and every attention that one woman could show to another. Had it been life for life, I am sure she might have had _my_ life--that was all that I _then_ thought. But when she recovered and loved me for what I had done for her, then it was love for love. Lady Greystock gave me a new life, and I will serve her as long as I may for gratitude, and as a thanksgiving.
