Glenarm at their head, were hard at work, studying the profound and complicated question of human running the muscles employed in it, the preparation required for it, the heroes eminent in it.
He still refuses, positively refuses, a provision which would make him an independent man for life." "Is it the provision he might have had, Lord Holchester, if ?" "If he had married Mrs. Glenarm? No. It is impossible, consistently with my duty to my mother, and with what I owe to the position in which my father's death has placed me, that I can offer him such a fortune as Mrs. Glenarm's.
Glenarm's may take her welcome for granted in this house." "I am not a friend of Mrs. Glenarm. I am a total stranger to her." This made the ceremonious request preferred by the lady a little more intelligible but it left the lady's object in wishing to speak to Mrs. Glenarm still in the dark.
The tone taken by Julius moderate as it was revived the first startling suspicion of the credibility of Geoffrey's statement which Anne's language and conduct had forced on Mrs. Glenarm. She dropped into the nearest chair, and put her handkerchief to her eyes. "You always hated poor Geoffrey," she said, with a burst of tears. "And now you're defaming him to me!" Julius managed her admirably.
He addressed himself to Anne. "We decided, on the terrace," he said, quietly, "that you should speak to Mrs. Glenarm, if Mrs. Glenarm wished it. Do you think it desirable that the interview should be continued any longer?" Anne's head drooped on her breast. The fiery anger in her was quenched in an instant. "I have been cruelly provoked, Mr. Delamayn," she answered.
Anne's patience so firmly and admirably preserved thus far began to fail her at last. "Take care, Mrs. Glenarm!" she said, still struggling with herself. "I am not naturally a patient woman. Trouble has done much to tame my temper but endurance has its limits. You have reached the limits of mine. I have a claim to be heard and after what you have said to me, I will be heard!" "You have no claim!
Glenarm. She good-humoredly put an end to the embarrassment which the shy visitor appeared to feel acutely by speaking first. "I am afraid the servants have not told you?" she said. "Mrs. Delamayn has gone out." "I beg your pardon I have not called to see Mrs. Delamayn." Mrs. Glenarm looked a little surprised. She went on, however, as amiably as before. "Mr. Delamayn, perhaps?" she suggested.
The committee had promised to defer the day, if he wished it and a month's training, in his physical condition, would be amply enough for him. Had he any personal objection to trying his luck with Mrs. Glenarm? Not he! Any woman would do provided his father was satisfied, and the money was all right. The obstacle which was really in his way was the obstacle of the woman whom he had ruined. Anne!
"Do you remember what Lady Lundie said while the topic was on the table?" "She told me, what I can't believe, that Geoffrey Delamayn was going to be married to Mrs. Glenarm." "Exactly! Was I wrong in drawing that conclusion?" "No, Sir Patrick. You were right." "Have you any objection to tell me why you felt indignant?" Arnold hesitated.
A second, and a third, anonymous letter, one more impudent than the other had been received by Mrs. Glenarm, assuring that lady and the friends who were acting for her that they were only wasting time and raising the price which would be asked for the correspondence, by the course they were taking.
