May I ask, by-the-by, are you only an amateur in that way, or a professional?" "I am an artist by profession. I live by my pencil, save for what my mother allows me out of Carew's pittance. That is small enough, you know. Hollo! there are the hounds coming round to the front! I suppose Carew and the rest of them will soon be in the saddle?"
For now from all havens, in vessels fitted out at their own expense, flock the chivalry of England; the Lords Oxford, Northumberland, and Cumberland, Pallavicin, Brooke, Carew, Raleigh, and Blunt, and many another honorable name, "as to a set field, where immortal fame and honor was to be attained."
Between the two fell a profound silence, and Regina could think of nothing but her guardian's flushed confused countenance, when Olga taxed him with his love for Mrs. Carew. How deeply his heart must be engaged, when his stem, cold, noncommittal face crimsoned? It seemed a long time since they sat down there, and Regina was growing restless when the front door-bell rang.
Ocumpaugh has been told nothing," I hastily returned, answering the last and most important question first. "Nor must she be; at least not till certainty replaces doubt. She is in a critical state, I am told. To rouse her hopes to-night only to dash them again to-morrow would be cruel policy." With her eyes still on my face, Mrs. Carew slowly reseated herself.
She got hold o' Squire, this ere woman did, though he was but a school-boy, and she old enough to be his mother, bless ye, and was married to him. And they kep' it secret for six months; and that's what bangs me most about it all. For Carew, he can keep nothing secret nothing: he blurts all out; and that's why he seems so much worse than he is to some people.
Carew was very anxious to look at them, a development of curiosity that Considine could not understand. "Most uninteresting devils, I call 'em," he said. "They're stark naked, and they have nothing. What is there to look at?"
Master Carew pulled from his pouch some barley-cakes and half a small Banbury cheese, yellow as gold and with a keen, sharp savour. "'Tis enough for both of us," said he, as they came to a shady little wood with a clear, mossy-bottomed spring running down into a green meadow with a mild noise, murmuring among the stones. "Come along, Nicholas; we'll eat it under the trees."
As he spoke a buttony boy came up to the Bo'sun. "Gentleman to see you, sir," he said. "Mr. Carew, sir." The Bo'sun hurried off to bring in his guest, while Pinnock called after him "Mind your eye, Bo'sun. Be civil to him. See that he doesn't kill a waiter or two on the way up.
"Only came back from this 'ere theatrical show yesterday, and to-day she has two men to tea with her in her bedroom." "Two men?" repeated Fanny. "Did you know they were coming?" "Ask them," snorted Mrs. Carew. "And what I said is " "Oh, run away, Carew," Fanny broke in, "with your nasty suspicion. It's all my bad example, you'll be saying next.
Carew, three centuries since, spoke of "newe Kaye, a place in the north coast of Pydar Hundred, so called because in former times the neighbours attempted to supplie the defect of nature by art, in making there a kay for the rode of shipping."
