"This is Captain Ardayre, Filson," Amaryllis said, "Sir John's cousin," and then she gave the order about the motor to take Denzil on to Bath. They went through the Henry VII inner hall, and on to the green drawing-room, with its air of home and comfort, in spite of its great size and stateliness.
Ardayre left, promising to bring her son about four. Denzil had said to his Mother when he knew that Amaryllis was coming to London: "Mum, I want to see Amaryllis please arrange it for me. And Mum, don't ask me anything about it; just leave me there when we drive and come and fetch me when I must go in again." Mrs.
Now Bridgeborough's coming of age will make a nice excuse for you to have a party at Ardayre. How many people can you put up? Thirty guests and their servants at least, and seven or eight more if you use the agent's house." So thus it had been arranged, and John expressed his pleasure that his sweet Amaryllis should show what a hostess she could be.
"Amaryllis," he said, and his voice vibrated, "to-day I am going to show you everything I love here at Ardayre because I want you to love it all, too. You are of the family, so it must mean something to you, dear." Amaryllis kindled with re-awakening hope. "Indeed, it will mean everything to me, John."
"Remember, Amaryllis, that you are the most precious thing on earth to me and you must think also of the child." She promised him that she would carry out all his wishes in this respect and remain quietly at Ardayre until the first of April, when perhaps he could get leave again and then she would go to London for the birth of the baby.
"I am on the road, but did not affairs of vital importance occupy me at the moment I might be capable of ancient excess!" "It is as well for the head of the Ardayre family that you are occupied then!" and Denzil smiled, and then he said, his thoughts drifting back to what interested him most: "You think Europe will be blazing soon, Stepan?
"I will telephone to Cartier in the morning," and Verisschenzko opened the door for her, "if you bring me some interesting proof of your love for me to-night." And when she had gone he took up his letter again and looked at the address, To Lady Ardayre, Ardayre Chase, North Somerset, Angleterre. "I must keep to the things of the spirit with you, precious lady.
Amaryllis came up to London the following week to say good-bye to John, so Verisschenzko did not go down to Ardayre to see her. John's leave-taking was characteristic. He could not break through the iron band of his reserve, he longed to say something loving to her, but the more deeply he felt things the greater was his difficulty in self-expression.
You have used him not even to gratify your own low lust, but to betray countries and one of them your husband's country, which ought to have been your own." She sank to her knees at his side; he went on mercilessly. He spoke of many names which she knew, and then he came to Ferdinand Ardayre. "They tell me he is drinking and sodden with morphine, and raves wildly of you.
I believe it to have been written by Ferdinand Ardayre at the instigation of Harietta Boleski. She would have means to obtain the postcard, and have it sent through Holland too." "But why why should she?" Amaryllis exclaimed in wonderment. "What possible reason could she have for wishing to be so cruel to us. We were always very nice to her, as you know." Verisschenzko laughed cynically.
