    “Il est plus aisé de connoître l’homme en général que de connoître un
     homme en particulier.”—LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.
An hour after Grandcourt had left, the important news of Gwendolen’s engagement was known at the rectory, and Mr. and Mrs. Gascoigne, with Anna, spent the evening at Offendene.
 
“My dear, let me congratulate you on having created a strong attachment1,” said the rector. “You look serious, and I don’t wonder at it: a lifelong union is a solemn thing. But from the way Mr. Grandcourt has acted and spoken I think we may already see some good arising out of our adversity.

A woman has a great debt of gratitude3 to a man who perseveres4 in making her such an offer. But no doubt you feel properly.”
 
“I am not at all sure that I do, aunt,” said Gwendolen, with saucy5 gravity. “I don’t know everything it is proper to feel on being engaged.”
 
The rector patted her shoulder and smiled as at a bit of innocent naughtiness, and his wife took his behavior as an indication that she was not to be displeased6. As for Anna, she kissed Gwendolen and said, “I do hope you will be happy,” but then sank into the background and tried to keep the tears back too. In the late days she had been imagining a little romance about Rex—how if he still longed for Gwendolen her heart might be
