  'How shall I tell her?' the man said to himself, on his way homeward. 'How the
  devil shall I tell her?'
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  He reached his home at Tufnell Park, entered as usual, and found the customary
  quietude, the familiar atmosphere of well-being, of security, of order. There
  would be guests at dinner this evening; he must keep up his countenance till
  he and Mary were alone and the house hushed.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Mary met him at the head of the stairs; her wonted smile, her silence that was
  all-sufficient, He asked after the baby, and received a word or two of
  satisfactory information. Then Mary smiled again, and passed on to dress for
  dinner.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  It was a pleasant evening, and such as they often enjoyed.
