Reeve or your uncle Pierpont is a matter of indifference with me. I would have you act your pleasure therein. I shall write to your uncle upon it, but yet treat it as a matter of doubt. Your board I shall settle with Dr. Bellamy myself. I will send you cash to pay for your horse very soon. You may expect it in the forepart of March.
"Well, that is your affair; but it is very ridiculous of you to come and ask me to protect you. The woman must, indeed, be a fool who cannot protect herself." And so the interview ended. Next day Lady Bellamy called again.
I don't believe that a single one of them got any further than the kitchens." Dorward nodded gloomily. "I guess they weren't taking any chances up there," he remarked. "There wasn't a secretary in the room. Carstairs was nearly thrown out, and he had a permit to enter the Palace. The great staircase was held with soldiers, and Dick swore that there were Maxims in the corridors." Bellamy sighed.
It is certain that he restored every sixpence that had been deposited in the morning, and could not die until he had done so. Where Allcraft passed the night was never known. He was punctual to his appointment on the following morning; and so was Mr Bellamy.
Lady Bellamy, too, had been to see her twice, and on each occasion had inspired her with a lively sense of fear and repugnance. During the first of these visits she had shown a perfect acquaintance with the circumstances of her engagement, her "flirtation with Mr. Heigham," as she was pleased to call it.
These churches, both of the Episcopal denomination, were built and furnished as a testimonial of gratitude by persons who had recovered health or had friends under treatment there. As soon as Mrs. Stevenson had her people settled at Saranac she left them and went to Indiana to visit her mother and sister, stopping on the way for a few days with the Bellamy Storers at Cincinnati.
But Arthur felt that there was one question which he must ask before he went on, whether or no it exceeded the strict letter of his agreement with Philip; so, calling to Mrs. Carr that he was coming, he said, with a blush, "How was Miss Caresfoot when when you last saw her, Lady Bellamy?" "Perfectly well," she answered, smiling. "And more lovely than ever," added her husband.
"Have I told the truth?" "Pshaw, man! Speak to the point. Speak to the point, sir. We have heavy payments due next week. Are we prepared to meet them?" "No nor shall we be." "That's unfortunate," added Mr Bellamy, very quietly. "You are sure of that? You cannot help us with another loan, for instance?" Michael answered, with determination "No." "Very well. No violence, Mr Allcraft, pray.
I wish to Heaven that I were going to Marlshire with you. If you only knew how I long to see her again. I think that it would break my heart if anything happened to separate us," and his lips quivered at the thought. Lady Bellamy turned her sombre face upon him there was compassion in her eyes.
In this world he is separated from me, in the worlds to come my rights will assert themselves, and we shall be together, and never part any more." Lady Bellamy looked at her wonderingly, for her eyes could still express her emotions. "You are a fine creature," she said, "and, if you believe that, perhaps it will be true for you, since Faith must be the measure of realization.
