She fixed her eyes on me with an intent unvarying gaze that under other conditions would have been intoxicating, but was now no more than disquieting and embarrassing. As I was still tongue-tied, she returned to her point with resolute insistence. "Come, Colonel Annesley, how long is this to go on? I want and will have an explanation. Why have you formed such a bad opinion of me?"
She is never to speak to me, and I am always to bow to her. But I really must purchase. Where did you get that glass-chain, St. James? Lady Afy, can you accommodate me? 'Here is one prettier! But are you near-sighted, too, Mr. Annesley? 'Very. I look upon a long-sighted man as a brute who, not being able to see with his mind, is obliged to see with his body. The price of this?
Who invented mirrors, the Egyptians? I can not say. There were mirrors in the room, but Mr. Robert did not realize it. He has since confessed to me that he hadn't the slightest idea how much his bird and bottle cost. Of such is love's young dream! At ten o'clock Miss Annesley rose, and the count escorted her to the elevator, returning almost immediately.
As the occurrence of that night was subsequently made the ground for heavy accusation against Harry Annesley, it has been told here with sufficient minuteness to show what might be said in justification or in condemnation of his conduct, to show what might be said if the truth were spoken. For, indeed, in the discussions which arose on the subject, much was said which was not true.
He used to ride over here and stay three days at a time, and sleep in the blue room. Ah! poor fellow! He was very much taken with my young mistress; he used to walk about the garden and the terraces with her, and seemed to love the very ground she trod on. He used to call her his bright morning star of Annesley." I felt the beautiful poetic phrase thrill through me.
As she sat on her host's right, at the end of the table, not opposite to him, this gave her the advantage or disadvantage of facing the newcomers fully, while Mr. Smith, who had faced them as they entered, would have his profile turned toward their table. The pair seated themselves in the same way that Annesley and her companion were placed, one at the right hand of the other.
"We are about to have a warm quarter of an hour," remarked the skipper, who had been keenly noting these sinister indications, while the first luff was getting the ship under weigh. "Let the crew go to quarters at once, if you please, Mr Annesley." "Ay, ay, sir!" was the reply. "If we only had a little more wind and there it comes blow, good breezes, blow!
"Because you have been so busy down there at the Yard, I thought that, as you was asking so many questions, you was, perhaps, interested in the matter." "My friend Mr. Annesley," said Augustus, "was acquainted with Captain Scarborough, as he is with me." "It did seem as though he was more than usually interested, all the same," said the policeman.
"I will do my best, sir," quietly replied Percival taking up a convenient position for conning the ship. "I feel sure you will, sir," returned the skipper. "Say when we shall cut." "At once, sir, if you please," was the reply. "Cut, and cut with a will!" said Mr Annesley.
"Just because of them creatures I'll never meet I'm going to see this through to the end," she said, flinging up her chin and looking entirely unlike the Annesley Grayle Mrs. Ellsworth knew. "To the end!" She thrilled at the word, which had as much of the unknown in it as though it were the world's end she referred to, and she were jumping off.
