The Karnival was not a "social function," but a commercial scheme gotten up by the merchants of Kansas City to draw trade to that enterprising town. It was a blowout for everybody; the world was invited the gates thrown open to the Canary in his Canaryism as well as to Sir Alymer in his Alymerism.
I'll take you to Charing Cross myself." The next morning Hal started off alone, to find her way to Lorraine's hiding-place, and give her what comfort of friendship she could. And all the time she asked herself with harried thoughts, "Who has brought this trouble into Lorraine's life?" And at the back of her mind was the dread premonition "Was it indeed Alymer Hermon?"
Why had her usual companions bored and irritated her? Why did Alymer Hermon's fine, boyish, refreshing face come so often to her mind? She was certainly not in love with him. The mere idea was ridiculous, but it was equally certain that something about him had given rise to this vague unrest and longing.
When his studies were over, Hynde Horn would go out to hawk and hunt. Often, too, he would wrestle and tilt with his companions, so that in days to come he would be able to take his place in battle and in tournament. But one day King Alymer heard the young prince's voice as he sang.
"And you will go to see her, and persuade her to drop him; won't you, Percy? It is no use talking to his father; he does not see the matter in a serious enough light. He believes Alymer will soon tire of her. So he may, but in the meantime she may irredeemably injure his career.
No need for haste. Come in a few days. Lorraine." It was addressed to Alymer Hermon, at The Middle Temple. "Please take it now at once," she said. She knew that the Frenchwoman could not read English, and that Jean was not yet awake. In Alymer's room at the Middle Temple he and Hal were making their arrangements to catch the next boat.
"You think he should stay for it?" Hal asked Lord Denton. "I certainly think that is what Lorraine would wish him to do." "Very well." Hal commenced to pull on her gloves as if there were no more to say, and then Denton asked her: "Will you wait too?" "No; I am going back by the next boat." "I will come with you." She glanced at him with slight alarm, and then at Alymer.
"He had scruples, but really they seemed too silly, and Lorraine looked so ill, and he always has the knack of cheering her up and doing her good." Dick looked at her doubtfully. "I hope you were wise," he said; "but they are rather fascinating people, you know." "Oh, nonsense! Lorraine is quite eleven years older than Alymer, and she only likes to look at him."
No doubt she is no longer pretty enough for older men, so she has to set her cap at young ones, who are flattered by her attention. I certainly thought Alymer had more sense but there one never knows, and these women are very clever, I believe." "D d I mean extraordinarily clever; but we can be clever too, and I dare say we can contrive to outwit her."
So carefully were they tended in the palace of King Alymer that soon roses bloomed again on the cheeks of Hynde Horn and his two companions, strength crept back to their bruised bodies. Ere many weeks had passed all in the palace loved Hynde Horn and knew that he was a prince worthy of his name.
