Lady Paula? I believe she's lying down, Mr. Deland. She told me on no account to disturb her and to let everyone else know that she wished a couple of hours' quiet, she said in her soft, gentle voice, lifting her timid eyes to his face.

It's been a shock, I suppose --her face and voice hardened--
human
Very, rejoined Cleek.
gpt
Very sad, indeed. For a house divided against itself, Miss McCall--you know the rest of the biblical quotation. And I'm afraid that is exactly what will happen in this case.... Oh, well, lying down, is she? Then I won't disturb her. Going out?
human
Yes. Just along to Mr. Tavish's cottage, at the bottom of the drive, she responded a trifle drearily.
gpt
Mr. Tavish and I, you know, are--engaged. I have tea with him sometimes, and try to do some of his mending. It's hard for a man to live alone, as he does.
human
Indeed it is. Engaged? Then may I offer you my congratulations, Miss McCall? I won't detain you any longer, as I know you must be anxious to get along. A little freedom in the fresh air will do you good. We shall meet again later, I've no doubt. Good-bye.
