And then she went out into the street, and said to herself that she would never enter the house again. Jenkins went up to the drawing-room, and found Mr. Lepel lying on the floor. He and his wife managed with some difficulty to get him back to bed. Then they sent for the Doctor. But, when the Doctor came, he shook his head, and looked very serious over Hubert's state.
In 1884 Sir Lepel Griffin, a distinguished Indian official, published a record of his visit to the United States, under the title of "The Great Republic." Perhaps this volume might have been left to the obscurity which has befallen it, were it not that Mr.
It was kismet it had to be. You should not have interfered." "And pray what would have happened if I had not interfered? What shame, what ruin, what disgrace!" "It is useless for you to rant and rave in that manner," said Florence Lepel, letting her eyes drop once more to the open pages of her French novel. "You did interfere, and there is an end of it. And what an end!
She drew Dick upon her knee and caressed him tenderly for a few moments; but Dick felt, to his surprise, that the kisses she bestowed on him were mingled with tears. "Cousin Enid, why do you cry too?" But all she answered was "Oh, Dick, Dick my poor little Dick I hope you will never never know!" Which poor little Dick could not understand. Hubert Lepel arrived on the following day.
I slept badly on our first night at Rome; and I happened to be awake while the man was talking of us confidentially in the courtyard of the hotel just under my bedroom window. Here, to the best of my recollection, is a faithful report of what he said to some friend among the servants who understood English: "My master's well connected, you must know though he's only plain Mr. Lepel.
I was then befriended by an old musician, who taught me how to sing and got me an engagement on the stage. When he died, I was reduced to great poverty. I heard of Mr. Lepel at the theatre.
Lepel he knew was short and fair and was married; the Mr. Lepel that came here, as I told him, was dark and tall and engaged to Miss Vane." "You had no right to tell him that, Parker; it is not public property." "I beg your pardon, I'm sure, ma'am! I'd heard it so often that I thought everybody knew." "What else did this Mr. Dare say?" "I don't remember, ma'am." "Did he ask no other questions?
I don't want to make too much of it" casting a reluctant glance at Hubert "but I think that Mr. Lepel was right in objecting and in trying to put a stop to it." It was certain that he had very much softened the facts of the case; but the General could not have looked more confounded, or Flossy more overwhelmed, if a great deal more had been said.
But, in spite of public indignation, it was not possible for Hubert Lepel to receive very severe punishment from the arm of the law. He had never been examined at Westwood's trial and the law does not compel a man to inculpate himself. He was held to have committed manslaughter, and he was condemned to two years' imprisonment.
He undertakes likewise to provide her pin-money.
