A little scene which occurred after lunch one day was significant. I was sitting on the terrace, ready booted and breeched, waiting for my horse to be brought round. Trix came out and sat down by me. "Where's Newhaven?" I asked. "Oh, I don't always want Lord Newhaven!" she exclaimed petulantly. "I sent him off for a walk I'm going out in the Canadian canoe with Mr. Ives."
In the old and truly respectable college at New York, such things are not altogether discarded; but, at Newhaven, where they are devoutly eschewed as savouring too much of Popery, not a member of its faculties, nor master, doctor, or scholar, appears with the time-honoured decency which, to my antiquated notion, is quite inseparable from the true regimen of a university.
But after this particular day she observed that Lady Newhaven had somehow slipped off the pedestal, and that she, Rachel, had the honor of occupying it alone. "Une grande passion malheureaux est un grand moyen de sagesse."
And when he was dead you came to me, and kept me in ignorance even that time when I said I trusted you." The remembrance of that meeting was too much. Rachel turned her eyes on Lady Newhaven, who was watching her terror-stricken. "I said I would not give him up, but I will," she said, violently. "You can take him if you want him. What was it you said to me, Hugh?
My cousin Dora received a letter from the Marquis of Newhaven, with whom she was acquainted, praying her to allow him to run down to Poltons for a few days: he reminded her that she had once given him a general invitation: if it would not be inconvenient and so forth. Not a bad chap, though, you know, barring his looks. I'm glad he's coming."
There is no reason found in all the creeds, Why these things are, nor whence they come to pass. It was while Hester was at the Palace that Lord Newhaven died. She had perhaps hardly realized, till he was gone, how much his loyal friendship had been to her.
In a week, if whim and weather serve, I set out for the north, a tour to the Highlands. I ate some Newhaven broth in other words, boiled mussels with Mr. Farquharson's family t'other day. Now I see you prick up your ears. They are all well, and mademoiselle is particularly well. She begs her respects to you all along with which please present those of your humble servant. I can no more.
Christie, belonging to no one, had danced with him all the night, they had walked under the stars to cool themselves, for dancing reels, with heart and soul, is not quadrilling. Then he had seen his beautiful partner in Edinburgh, and made a sketch of her, which he gave her; and by and by he used to run down to Newhaven, and stroll up and down a certain green lane near the town.
She no longer inhabited the little detached cottage, and divers and sundry were the Flockhart "wives" that I "speired at" through the unsavory street of Newhaven, before I found the right one at last, on the third flat of a filthy house, where noise and stench combined almost to knock me down, and where I could hardly knock loud enough to make myself heard above the din within and without.
I have known for some time that there was trouble between the Newhavens. From what Lady Newhaven said to me to-day, and from the fact that she has been here, and that immediately after seeing her you broke your engagement with Scarlett, I must come to the conclusion that Scarlett had been the cause of this trouble." Rachel had regained her composure. Her face was white and hard.
