If he seemed actually to be present in Margaret's chamber, watching every movement and hearing every heart-beat of the girl he had doomed, his blue lips and livid face, from which he kept wiping the cold drops, did not therefore speak of late ruth, or the beginning of remorse. It was entirely on his own security and chances of escaping detection that he was musing.
Mrs. Ashborne opened the Morning Post, and presently looked up at her companion. "'A marriage between Blanche Newcombe and Captain Challoner at Thornton Holme, in Shropshire," she read out. "Do you know the bride?" "I know Bertram Challoner better," Mrs. Keith replied, and was silent for a minute or two, musing on former days.
"I never told you so," said Adrian, "but I think it is a fact; at least there is a lot of packing going on." "You never told me! Do you not understand that there is no need for you to tell me anything?" "Then, in the name of your Lord Zoroaster, why do you ask?" exclaimed the exasperated Adrian. "That you will know presently," he answered musing.
A "Restorative Bag" of herbs and spices heated in "boyl'd Vinegar" is asserted to be "comfortable." "It must be as hot as can be endured, and keep yourself from studying and musing and it will comfort you much." So it seems you ought not to study nor to muse if your stomach be cold.
"I recollect you did," interrupted the pacha, "but I tell you again, as I told you before, that I want to know nothing about her. Have the goodness to skip all that part, or it will be five sequins out of your girdle." "Your highness shall be obeyed," replied the renegade, who, after musing a short time, continued.
"I am sick of the word 'mind'!" said I, bitterly. And therewith I relapsed into musing. But the blow which had shattered my life had been dealt by the hand of a fool. Here, there were no mystic enchantments.
Meanwhile, I myself will go down into the north, and take charge of the maiden. I am too old to be daunted by man or demon. I will bring her to this house as to a home; and let the Double come if it will! A company of godly divines shall give it the meeting, and we will try issue. The kindly brave old man! But Father Bernard sat on musing.
You will tell him, however, that the person his good-nature has laid under obligations to him, is one Le Fever, a lieutenant in Angus's but he knows me not, said he, a second time, musing; possibly he may my story added he pray tell the captain, I was the ensign at Breda, whose wife was most unfortunately killed with a musket-shot, as she lay in my arms in my tent.
I saw with the utmost clearness that a confession like that would be the most remediless and unpardonable outrage upon the dignity of my sex, and utterly unworthy of that passion which controuled me. I resumed my seat and my musing. To account for the absence of Pleyel became once more the scope of my conjectures. How many incidents might occur to raise an insuperable impediment in his way?
The Atheling inquired after his health, heard his story in more detail, and after musing on it, said that after setting affairs in order at home, he meant to visit his sister and niece in the Abbey at Romsey, and would then make some arrangement for the Lady of Maisonforte; also he would endeavour to see the King on his return to Winchester, and endeavour to plead with him.
