What did Mrs.Minchin intend to do?
Where did she propose to go?
There were a hundred matters for explanation and arrangement.

Her solicitor said she had no friends, and seemed himself most anxious to act in that capacity.

Rachel's lips curled at the thought.
"At least," said she, "I have the friends who guaranteed his bill, if that has anything to say to his anxiety! But what I mean to do and where I may go, are entirely my own affair.

And as for the hundred matters he mentions, he might have spoken of them during the week.

Perhaps he thought it would be waste of breath, but I should have appreciated the risk." So her solicitor was beaten off, with all the spirit which was one of Rachel's qualities, but also with the rashness which was that quality's defect.
