And Lady Mary had begged him to find out whatever was the matter with poor dear Lois! "Well," he said, "I am glad to hear it. To tell you the truth, I have been very jealous lately." "You jealous!" she exclaimed, mockingly. "Fact, I assure you," he answered. "Captain Maurice Vandermere jealous!" she repeated, looking up at him with dancing eyes "absolutely the most popular bachelor in London!
He knew very well that Lois would have stayed with him, had he bidden it, but he made no attempt to induce her to do so. "Till this afternoon," he said, taking off his hat with a little flourish. "Hang that fellow!" Vandermere muttered, as he looked at Lois, and saw the change in her. "Why do you let him talk to you, dear? You don't like him. I am sure that you do not.
If this is your great blow, strike. Let me be arrested. I will answer everything. Afterwards, you and I will have our reckoning. Lois," he added, turning to her, "you do not believe say that you do not believe these things." "I do not believe them Bertrand," she answered slowly. "You will come with me?" "I will come with you," she echoed. "By God, sir, she shan't!" cried Vandermere.
He lifted Saton off his feet and shook him, till it seemed as though his limbs were cracking. Then he threw him away. Rochester stepped forward to interfere. "Enough of this, Vandermere," he said sternly. "Remember that the fellow's career is over. He may try to bluff it out, but he is done for. I have proofs enough to send him to prison a dozen times over." Saton rose slowly to his feet.
I should like to go as far away as ever we can, and stay away until it is dark. Could we start directly after breakfast?" Rochester smiled. "You can have the car so far as I am concerned," he said. "I have to go over to Melton to sit on the Bench, and your aunt and I are lunching with the Delameres afterwards. But if you can put up with Vandermere as an escort!" "I'll try," she answered.
He knew very well that there was not one of them who accepted his qualifications, notwithstanding the approval of their womankind, and the knowledge stung him bitterly. Presently he came face to face with Lois, walking with Vandermere. His face darkened for a moment.
Her eyes were misty with tears! Captain Vandermere had a friend from the country, and was giving him supper at the Savoy. He was also pointing out the different people who were worthy of note. "That," he said, pointing to an adjoining table, "is really one of the most interesting men in London." "He looks like an actor," his friend remarked.
Vandermere felt her suddenly creep closer to him, as though for protection, and from his six feet odd of height, he frowned angrily at the young man with his hat in his hand preparing to accost them. Never was dislike more instinctive and hearty.
Your friend outside will be tired of waiting." She rose to her feet, and he led her from the room. They walked down the field side by side, and Lois felt her knees trembling. She was white as a sheet, and once she was obliged to clutch his arm for support. As they neared the gate, they saw that Vandermere was talking to someone on horseback. Saton's face darkened as he recognised the tall figure.
