Then he went on to the Straits Settlements and finally took a partnership in a practice at Penang. Anne left Wyck at Easter and returned in August because of Colin. Then she went back to her Ilford farm. The two years passed, and in the spring of the third year, nineteen fourteen, she came again. i Something awful had happened. Adeline had told Anne about it.
His letters were all there and his photographs that were as handsome as the young god of love himself. I could hardly see them through my tears, but I knew that they were dim in places with being cried over when I had put them away years ago after Aunt Adeline decided that I was to be married.
Anne saw it all, she saw that Adeline had slandered her to Jerrold and to Eliot, that she had made use of her love for Colin, which was her love for Jerrold, to betray her; that she had betrayed her to safeguard her own happy life, without pity and without remorse; she had done all of these things and none of them. They were the instinctive movements of her funk.
The same party met again at Ilverthorpe, but there were others there as well Ideala, Mrs. Kilroy's father and mother Mr. and Lady Adeline Hamilton-Wells, and Lady Galbraith, but not Sir George. In the drawing-room after dinner, Beth was intent upon a portfolio of drawings, and Ideala, seeing her alone, went up to her. "Are you fond of pictures?" she said to Beth.
Daddy's ever so sorry; but he can't come till to-morrow. A horrid man kept him on business." "Oh?" A little crisping wave went over Aunt Adeline's face, a wave of vexation. Anne saw it. "He is really sorry. You should have heard him damning and cursing." They laughed. Adeline was appeased. She took her husband's arm and drew him to herself. Something warm and secret seemed to pass between them.
"Yes." "Well, won't it do if I love Uncle Robert and Eliot and Colin? And Jerrold?" That night he said to Adeline, "I know who'll take my place when I'm gone." "Who? Robert?" "No, Jerrold." In another week he had sailed for India and Ambala. viii Jerrold was brave. When Colin upset the schoolroom lamp Jerrold wrapped it in the tablecloth and threw it out of the window just in time.
You shall see how I work. I am capable of overthrowing mountains to give my Adeline, I won't say luxury, but a modest competence. You made Monsieur Leclercq's fortune; why won't you put me in a bank in Paris?" "Some day, later on, I'll find you a place," Gaubertin would say; "meantime make friends and acquaintance; such things help."
One saved my brother, the Count of Poictiers, from captivity; and the other saved my kinswoman, Adeline de Brienne, from still worse evils. And the king looked towards the noble demoiselle, who, princess as she was, felt her heart beat rapidly, and was under the necessity of making a strong effort not to betray the interest which she felt in the fortunes of the young warrior, with whose fate, she had convinced herself, since the rescue at Passe-Poulain, her own was strangely intermingled.
Ellis resisted for some time, but Diavolo was firm and would do nothing, and Lady Adeline cautioned the tutor to give in if he saw an opportunity of doing so with dignity. "But the young scamp will be jeeringly triumphant if I do," Mr. Ellis objected. "Oh, no," Lady Adeline answered. "Diavolo prides himself upon being a gentleman, and he says a gentleman never jeers or makes himself unpleasant.
We must wait till the trial is over." Adeline made no answer. They had disputed enough about that trial, which they understood so little. Adeline had always believed they ought to speak to a lawyer about it; but Suzette had not been willing. Even when a man came that morning with a paper which he said was an attachment, and left it with them, they had not agreed to ask advice.
