¡¡Anton
saw
with
delight
that
everything
was
turning
out
according
to
his
best
hopes;
Cecile
and
Toby
were
going
toward
the
village,
while
Joe
wandered
in
his
direction.
He
waited
only
long
enough
to
see
the
little
girl
and
the
dog
out
of
sight,
then,
rising
from
the
ground,
he
approached
Joe.
Now, Mercy's eyes too were pleading; Mercy's eyes too had said, "let me love you," Lydia saw the likeness between Mercy and Cecile at a glance, and she almost hated the little foreign girl for resembling her lost darling.
