It was the best way I could have taken to UGGs Clearance compose her. She laid her head on my shoulder, and smiled faintly through her tears.
`I am very sorry for forgetting myself,' she said artlessly. `I have not been well -- I have felt sadly weak and nervous lately, and I often cry without reason when I am alone. I am better now -- I can answer you as I ought, Mr Gilmore, I can indeed.'
`No, no, my dear,' I replied, `we will consider the subject as done with for the present. UGG Boots Clearance You have said enough to sanction my taking the best possible care of your interests, and we can settle details at another opportunity. Let us have done with business now, and talk of something else.'
I led her at once into speaking on other topics. In ten minutes' time she was in better spirits, and I rose to take my leave.
`Come here again,' she said earnestly. `I will try to be worthier of your kind feeling for me and for my interests UGGS Clearance if you will only come again.'
Still clinging to the past -- that past which I represented to her, in my way, as Miss Halcombe did in hers! It troubled me sorely to see her looking back, at the beginning of her career, just as I look back at the end of mine.
`If I do come again, I hope I shall find you better,' I said; `better and happier. God bless you, my dear!'
She only answered by putting up her cheek UGG boots clearance to me to be kissed. Even lawyers have hearts, and mine ached a little as I took leave of her.
The whole interview between us had hardly lasted more than half an hour -- she had not breathed a word, in my presence, to explain the mystery of her evident distress and dismay at the prospect of her marriage, and yet she had contrived to win me over to her side of the question, I neither knew how nor why. I had entered ugg boots clearance the room, feeling that Sir Percival Glyde had fair reason to complain of the manner in which she was treating him. I left it, secretly hoping that matters might end in her taking him at his word and claiming her release. A man of my age and experience ought to have known better than to vacillate in this unreasonable manner. I can make no excuse for myself; I can only tell the truth, and say -- so it was.
The hour for my Nike high heels departure was now drawing near. I sent to Mr Fairlie to say that I would wait on him to take leave if he liked, but that he must excuse my being rather in a hurry. He sent a message back, written in pencil on a slip of paper: `Kind love and best wishes, dear Gilmore. Hurry of any kind is inexpressibly injurious to me. Pray take care of yourself. Goodbye.'
