"And I knew you were perfectly happy, and had had a blissful afternoon when you came down to tea yesterday. Your whole face was changed, you pet!" "Did I look so like a fool, Anne?" Ethelrida cried. Then Lady Anningford laughed happily, as she answered with a roguish eye, "It was not exactly that, darling, but your dear cheeks were scarlet, as though they had been exquisitely kissed!"
They had got back to the house in time to have their conclave before that meal, and everything was satisfactorily settled. Lady Anningford, who had not accompanied them out shooting, had thought out a whole scheme, and announced it upon their return amidst acclamations.
And remembering the Crow's appeal Lady Anningford slipped her hand within her arm, and was very gentle and friendly as they went down to the saloon. Now if the evening passed with pain and unrest for the bride and bridegroom, it had quite another aspect for Francis Markrute and Lady Ethelrida!
So at last dessert-time came, with its toasts for the Queen Guinevere. And the bridal pair had spoken together never a word; and Lady Anningford, who was watching them, began to fear for the success of her plan. However, there was no use turning back now.
"You must not stay ten minutes, for Lady Anningford or Lady Melton is sure to come in Anne, especially, who has been looking at me with such reproachful eyes, for having neglected her all this, our last afternoon." "I care not for a thousand Annes, Ethelrida mine!" he said softly, as he kissed her. "If she does come, will it matter? Would you rather she did not guess anything yet, my dearest?"
Do you want to help them to part or to meet? or to go to heaven or to hell? or to spend what Monica Ellerwood calls 'a Saturday to Monday amid rural scenery, which means both of those things one after the other!" "Crow, dear, you are disagreeable," said Lady Anningford, "and I have a cold in my head and cannot compete with you in words to-day." "Then say what you want, and I'll listen."
