gain while I am here. Lucy wishes it.”
The severity of Tom’s face relaxed a little.
“I shouldn’t mind your seeing him occasionally at my uncle’s — I don’t want you to make a fuss on the subject. But I have no confidence in you, Maggie. You would be led away to do anything.”
That was a cruel word. Maggie’s lip began to tremble,Moncler Alpin.
“Why will you say that, Tom? It is very hard of you. Have I not done and borne everything as well as I could? And I kept my word to you — when — when —— My life has not been a happy one, any more than yours.”
She was obliged to be childish; the tears would come. When Maggie was not angry, she was as dependent on kind or cold words as a daisy on the sunshine or the cloud; the need of being loved would always subdue her, as, in old days, it subdued her in the worm-eaten attic. The brother’s goodness came uppermost at this appeal, but it could only show itself in Tom’s fashion. He put his hand gently on her arm,Utah Jazz Drakter, and said, in the tone of a kind pedagogue —
“Now listen to me,Leeds United Drakt, Maggie. I’ll tell you what I mean. You’re always in extremes; you have no judgment and self-command; and yet you think you know best,Los Angeles Lakers Drakter, and will not submit to be guided. You know I didn’t wish you to take a situation. My aunt Pullet was willing to give you a good home, and you might have lived respectably amongst your relations,Parajumpers Ženy Marisol, until I could have provided a home for you with my mother. And that is what I should like to do. I wished my sister to be a lady, and I always have taken care of you,Canada Goose Shelburne Parka, as my father desired,Parajumpers Männer Perfect Jacken Schweiz, until you were well married. But your ideas and mine never accord, and you will not give way. Yet you might have sense enough to see that a brother, who goes out into the world and mixes with men, necessarily knows better what is right and respectable for his sister than she can know herself. You think I am not kind; but my kindness can only be directed by what I believe to be good for you.”
“Yes, I know,Shooter Yd, dear Tom,America de Cali Drakt,” said Maggie, still half-sobbing,Michael Jordan Drakter, but trying to control her tears. “I know you would do a great deal for me; I know how you work, and don’t spare yourself. I am grateful to you. But,Canada Goose Chelsea Parka, indeed, you can’t quite judge for me; our natures are very different. You don’t know how differently things affect me from what they do you.”
“Yes, I do know; I know it too well. I know how differently you must feel about all that affects our family, and your own dignity as a young woman, before you could think of receiving secret addresses from Philip Wakem. If it was not disgusting to me in every other way,Kurtka Moncler Damskie 2014, I should object to my sister’s name being associated for a moment with that of a young man whose father must hate the very thought of us all, and would spurn you. With any one but you, I should think it quite certain that what you witnessed just before my father’s death would secure you from ever thinking again of Philip Wakem as a lover. But I don’t feel certain of it with you; I never feel certain about anything with you. At one tim
