Diana of the Crossways

CHAPTER VI
14/25

Here she had the destiny to inflame Mr.Redworth and Mr.
Warwick, two railway Directors, bent upon scoring the country to the likeness of a child's lines of hop-scotch in a gravel-yard.
As with all invalids, the pleasure of living backward was haunted by the tortures it evoked, and two years later she recalled this outcry against the Fates.

She would then have prayed for Diana to inflame none but such men as those two.

The original error was; of course, that rash and most inexplicable marriage, a step never alluded to by the driven victim of it.

Lady Dunstane heard rumours of dissensions.

Diana did not mention them.
