Chapter IX
_"Teach me to feel for others' woes, To hide the fault I see; The mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me."_ Breakfast was just over on the morning following the soirée at the vice chancellor's. Christian sat with the two aunts, quietly sewing. Ay, very quietly, even after last night. She had taken counsel with her own heart, through many wakeful hours, and grown calm and still. Neither her husband nor Miss Gascoigne had once named Sir Edwin.
