He was flurried and uncomfortable, and hurried the children away as soon as he decently could.

Then (rather feeling Miss Galindo's presence an advantage, both as a present restraint on the violence of his wife's grief, and as a consoler when he was absent on his afternoon round), he told Mrs.Trevor of her brother's death.

He had been taken ill on circuit, and had hurried back to his chambers in London only to die.

She cried terribly; but Doctor Trevor said afterwards, he never noticed that Miss Galindo cared much about it one way or another.

She helped him to soothe his wife, promised to stay with her all the afternoon instead of returning to Hanbury, and afterwards offered to remain with her while the Doctor went to attend the funeral.
