Affairs were going on worse at the Hall than Roger had liked to tell. Moreover, very much of the
discomfort1 there arose from ‘mere manner,’ as people express it, which is always indescribable and indefinable. Quiet and passive as Mrs. Hamley had always been in appearance, she was the ruling spirit of the house as long as she lived. The directions to the servants, down to the most minute particulars, came from her
sitting-room2, or from the sofa on which she lay. Her children always knew where to find her; and to find her, was to find love and sympathy. Her husband, who was often restless and angry from one cause or another, always came to her to be smoothed down and put right. He was conscious of her pleasant influence over him, and became at peace with himself when in her presence; just as a child is at ease when with some one who is both firm and gentle. But the keystone of the family arch was gone, and the stones of which it was composed began to fall apart. It is always sad when a sorrow of this kind seems to injure the character of the mourning
survivors3. Yet, perhaps, this injury may be only temporary or superficial; the
judgments5 so constantly passed upon the way people bear the loss of those whom they have deeply loved, appear to be even more cruel, and wrongly
meted6 out, than human judgments generally are. To careless observers, for instance, it would seem as though the
squire7 was rendered more capricious and
exacting8, more
passionate9 and
authoritative10, by his wife’s death. The truth was, that it occurred at a time when many things came to
