Of these things, as of others, she had come to her solitude1 to think. She looked out over the marshes2 scarcely seeing the wandering or resting sheep, scarcely hearing the crying plover4, because so much seemed to confront her, and she must look it all well in the face. She had fulfilled the promise she had made to herself as a child. She had come in search of Rosy5, she had found her as simple and loving of heart as she had ever been. The most painful discoveries she had made had been concealed6 from her mother until their aspect was modified. Mrs. Vanderpoel need now feel no shock at the sight of the restored Rosy. Lady Anstruthers had been still young enough to respond both physically7 and mentally to love, companionship, agreeable luxuries, and stimulating8 interests. But for Nigel's antagonism9 there was now no reason why she should not be taken home for a visit to her family, and her long-yearned-for New York, no reason why her father and mother should not come to Stornham, and thus establish the customary social relations between their daughter's home and their own. That this seemed out of the question was owing to the fact that at the outset of his married life Sir Nigel had allowed himself to commit errors in tactics. A perverse10 egotism, not wholly normal in its rancour, had led him into deeds which he had begun to suspect of having cost him too much, even before Betty herself had pointed11 out to him their unbusinesslike indiscretion. He had done things he could not undo
