There were lights in the Italian Garden and in the drawing-room. Just as it had been six months ago, so now the obliging Fellows opened the door to them. Alban gave him a kindly nod and asked him where Lois was. "The young lady is there, in the hall, sir. Pardon me saying it, she seems much upset to-night." "Mr. Gessner is still away?" "On his yacht, sir.
"But, sir," resumed Lionel, "I must not conceal from you, that though George's letter and Alban Morley's comnninications sufficed to satisfy Darrell, without further question, your old friend was naturally anxious to learn a more full account, in the hope of legally substantiating your innocence. He therefore despatched by the telegraph a request to his nephew to come at once to Fawley.
He entreated Pompey to aid him, who on purpose had gone out of the way, and was staying at his country-house in the Alban hills; and first he sent his son-in-law Piso to intercede with him, and afterwards set out to go himself.
Mirabel ought not to meet or why should Miss Jethro have been so very earnest about it?" "Miss Jethro doesn't intend us to know why, Cecilia. It will perhaps come out in time. Wait for time."
