‘As angels in some brighter dreams
Call to the soul when man doth sleep,
So some strange thoughts
transcend1 our wonted themes,
And into glory peep.’
HENRY VAUGHAN.
Mrs. Hale was
curiously3 amused and interested by the idea of the Thornton dinner party. She kept wondering about the details, with something of the
simplicity5 of a little child, who wants to have all its anticipated pleasures described beforehand. But the
monotonous6 life led by
invalids7 often makes them like children, inasmuch as they have neither of them any sense of proportion in events, and seem each to believe that the walls and curtains which shut in their world, and shut out everything else, must of necessity be larger than anything hidden beyond. Besides, Mrs. Hale had had her vanities as a girl; had perhaps
unduly8 felt their
mortification9 when she became a poor clergyman’s wife; — they had been
smothered10 and kept down; but they were not extinct; and she liked to think of seeing Margaret dressed for a party, and discussed what she should wear, with an unsettled anxiety that amused Margaret, who had been more accustomed to society in her one in Harley Street than her mother in five and twenty years of Helstone.
‘Then you think you shall wear your white silk. Are you sure it will fit? It’s nearly a year since Edith was married!’
‘Oh yes, mamma! Mrs. Murray made it, and it’s sure to be right; it may be a straw’s breadth shorter or longer-waisted, according to my having grown fat or thin. But I don’t think I’ve altered in the least.’
‘Hadn’t you better let Dixon see it? It may have gone yellow with lying by.’
‘If you like, mamma. But if the worst comes to the worst, I’ve a very nice pink gauze which aunt Shaw gave me, only two or three months before Edith was married. That can’t have gone yellow.’
