Chapter IX
“She will never love him,” said Kate, “which is the one thing she needs. There is nothing that could not be done with Emilia by any person with whom she was in love; and nothing can ever be done with her by anybody else. No good will ever come of this, and I hope she will never marry him.” With this unusual burst, Kate retreated to Hope. Hope took the news more patiently than any one, but with deep solicitude.
