The scene through which its occupants had\u003cbr\u003epassed, had left a deep impression upon them--even upon Mr. Petersfield,\u003cbr\u003ewho was by no means of a nature to be easily moved. Dr. Ashleigh felt\u003cbr\u003egreatly the words he had spoken, the wrong which had been committed, and\u003cbr\u003ethe thought of his children's altered future. Harry felt more indignant\u003cbr\u003ethan hurt; he was too astonished and angry to reflect yet how much it\u003cbr\u003ewould affect himself. Perhaps if he had one wish more predominant than\u003cbr\u003eanother, it was that the Misses Harmer were but men--men of about his\u003cbr\u003eown age, and that he could get them into some quiet spot--by Jove, would\u003cbr\u003enot he find out where the will was hidden!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Robert Gregory felt the disappointment with all its force. To him\u003cbr\u003ethe blow had been so overwhelming and crushing, that his fierce temper\u003cbr\u003ewas beaten down and mastered by it; and he had borne it with a sense of\u003cbr\u003edull despair, very unlike the passionate outburst of wrath which might\u003cbr\u003ehave been expected from him. Only when Miss Harmer had turned upon him\u003cbr\u003eso fiercely, had the blood rushed to his cheek, and had not Dr. Ashleigh\u003cbr\u003einterposed, he would doubtless have given way to a burst of passion; but\u003cbr\u003ewith a great effort he had checked himself; desperate as he was, he knew\u003cbr\u003ethat Dr. Ashleigh stood in a far higher and better position in the case\u003cbr\u003ethan he did himself; it was to his interest that the doctor should take\u003cbr\u003ethe lead, for he felt that what hopes remained rested solely in him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Ashleigh was certainly favourably impressed with his conduct\u003cbr\u003ethroughout this trying interview; he knew that to this man the loss of\u003cbr\u003ethe will was a terrible blow, the defeat of all his plots and schemes,\u003cbr\u003eand he was surprised and pleased that he had behaved with so much\u003cbr\u003eself-control, and had avoided creating a stormy and violent scene.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082350018800,"sku":"2940013225091","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013225091_p0.jpg?v=1763589733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013225091","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
