The favor will be all on my side," said Mrs.Lloyd, as she held the hand of Mrs.Emerson and gave it a warm pressure.
The visit of these ladies did not leave the mind of Irene in a very satisfactory state.

Some things that were said she rejected, while other things lingered and occasioned suggestions which were not favorable to her husband.

While she had no wish to be present at Mrs.Talbot's on account of Major Willard, she was annoyed by the thought that Hartley's fixing on the next evening for her to go out with him was to prevent her attendance at the weekly conversazione.
Irene did not mention to her husband the fact that she had received a visit from Mrs.Talbot, in company with a pleasant stranger, Mrs.
Lloyd.

It would have been far better for her if she had done so.
Many times it was on her lips to mention the call, but as often she kept silent, one or the other of two considerations having influence.

Hartley did not like Mrs.Talbot, and therefore the mention of her name, and the fact of her calling, would not be pleasant theme.
