Harriet Wesden told the news on the following day to her father, and he,
after a stare over her head in the old fashion, thought, perhaps, that
it was all for the best. Harriet told him the whole story of the past
that had led to the parting, and he took stock of the principal
features, and thought it was an odd affair, and that he might have been
told of this Mr. Darcy a little earlier. After awhile he fancied that it
was more comfortable to know that Harriet was to be always with him, to
attend to his small ailments, and study his eccentricities. Of late he
had harassed himself somewhat with the idea that there would be an early
marriage, and that he should be left entirely alone in the world;--with

smoked, and that back-garden where groundsel grew vigorously in the
garden paths. The news of the quarrel came with something like a relief

away from him--well, it _was_ for the best, though in his unselfish
moments, and he had many of them, Harriet alone in the world after he
was gone, was a picture that affected him.

Mattie back to the streets, troubled him far more than the broken
love-pledge between Harriet and Sidney; for the first time in his life
