As for that other fact, which many men of a feebler spirit would have deemed an invincibleobstacle, Luttrel's masterly understanding had immediately converted itinto the prime agent of success, --the fact, namely, that Gertrude'sheart was preoccupied. Such knowledge as he possessed of the relationsbetween Miss Whittaker and his brother officer he had gained by hisunaided observations and his silent deductions. These had been logical;for, on the whole, his knowledge was accurate. It was at least... what hemight have termed a good working knowledge. He had calculated on apassionate reactionary impulse on Gertrude's part, consequent onSevern's simulated offence. He knew that, in a generous woman, such animpulse, if left to itself, would not go very far. But on this point itwas that his policy bore. He would not leave it to itself: he would takeit gently into his hands, attenuate it, prolong it, economize it, andmould it into the clew to his own good-fortune. He thus counted muchupon his skill and his tact; but he likewise placed a becoming degreeof reliance upon his solid personal qualities, --qualities too sober andtoo solid, perhaps, to be called _charms_, but thoroughly adapted toinspire confidence.
