Janetta 's share in bringing about a _ dénouement _ and retarding its further development was quite unknown to her . The delay , which some of Mr. Colwyn 's old friends urged with great vigor , was ascribed by her chiefly to the hostile influences of Wyvis Brand , and she made a point of being openly uncivil to that gentleman when , on fine mornings , he brought his boy to Gwynne Street or fetched him away on a bright afternoon . For it had been decided that little Julian should not only come every day at ten , but on two days of the week should stay until four o'clock in the afternoon , in order to enjoy the advantages of Tiny 's society . He had been living so unchild-like a life of late that Janetta begged to keep him for play as well as for lessons with other children . Nora went back to her school somewhat sobered by the unexpected turn of events , and rather ashamed of her assumption -LRB- dispelled by Janetta -RRB- that Cuthbert Brand had given drawing lessons at Mrs. Smith 's in order to be near her .
