He also recognized and avoided the wily traps and pitfalls set for him by Lady Chetwynd Lyle in the hope that he would yield himself up a captive to the charms of Muriel or Dolly; and as he thought of these two fair ones now and involuntarily compared them in his mind with the other woman just spoken of, the smile that had begun to hover on his lips deepened unconsciously till his handsome face was quite illumined with its mirth.
And then there came a night when John Chetwynd found the pretty drawing-room deserted and his wife flown. The hours went by and as she did not return he grew seriously uneasy. Where could she be? When eleven o'clock struck he put on his hat and, terribly though it went against the grain, started for Holly Street she might be at her mother's. No, Mrs.
I remember Chetwynd telling me, and he was not apt to complain on that score, that he never should have broken up if it had not been for her. 'But he was an extravagant fellow, said Mr. Annesley: 'he called me in at his bouleversement for advice, as I have the reputation of a good economist.
Sir Chetwynd Lyle is the editor and proprietor of the London Daily Dial, Lady Chetwynd Lyle is his wife, and the two elderly-youthful ladies who appeared as 'Boulogne fishwives' last night at the ball are his daughters." "Cruel man!" exclaimed Lady Fulkeward with a girlish giggle. "The idea of calling those sweet girls, Muriel and Dolly, 'elderly- youthful!"

Dick Chetwynd is going over with me, and if the weather is fair it will be a pleasant trip." "Where are you thinking of going after the marriage?" "We have not talked it over yet. My own idea is that, as neither of us has been abroad, we might as well take this opportunity for seeing something of the Continent.

The Lieutenant at once gave orders to the watchman to go down and see that the prisoners all washed their faces. As soon as he returned with the report that this was done the officer went down with Dick Chetwynd to examine them. Three or four of the men with lanterns also went in.
On leaving, Dick Chetwynd walked for some distance with Mark as far as Gibbons' place in St. Giles. "There is one thing which I cannot understand," he said, "and that is how it was that the constables happened to be so close at hand, just at the time they were wanted."

But he played fair; didn't try to win her. Told me all about it, right at the first, and we came to an agreement. We were both to steer clear of her over on that side. That's why we stuck close to Ruthby Castle till Jenny sailed for home. No; Jimmy is white.
