 When the first day's work was over in the court, Lady Mason and Mrs. Orme kept their seats till the greater part of the crowd had dispersed1, and the two young men, Lucius Mason and Peregrine, remained with them. Mr. Aram also remained, giving them sundry2 little instructions in a low voice as to the manner in which they should go home and return the next morning,—telling them the hour at which they must start, and promising3 that he would meet them at the door of the court. To all this Mrs. Orme endeavoured to give her best attention, as though it were of the last importance; but Lady Mason was apparently4 much the more collected of the two, and seemed to take all Mr. Aram's courtesies as though they were a matter of course. There she sat, still with her veil up, and though all those who had been assembled there during the day turned their eyes upon her as they passed out, she bore it all without quailing5. It was not that she returned their gaze, or affected6 an effrontery7 in her conduct; but she was able to endure it without showing that she suffered as she did so.
 
"The carriage is there now," said Mr. Aram, who had left the court for a minute; "and I think you may get into it quietly." This accordingly they did, making their way through an avenue of idlers who still remained that they might look upon the lady who was accused of having forged her husband's will.

"I will stay with her to-night," whispered Mrs. Orme to her son as they passed through the court.
 
"Do you mean that you will not come to The Cleeve at all?"
 
"Not to-night; not till the trial be over. Do you remain with your grandfather."
 
"I shall be here to-morrow of course to see how you go on."
