As the impossibility of moving him forced itself upon her unwilling understanding, so the wildest passion for him grew, and when he left in September she was quite ill for a week with chagrin; then she became moody and more than ever capricious, and made Stanislass' life a hell, while Ferdinand Ardayre had little less misery to endure.
He came to Eton three years before I left, but even there they could not turn him into the outside semblance of a gentleman. I loathed the little toad, and he loathed me and the sickening part of the thing is that if John does not have a son, by the English law of entail Ferdinand comes into Ardayre, and will be the head of the family.
"Possibly I feel it sometimes when I think of Stanislass; he was a very good friend of mine." Sir John Ardayre joined them at this moment and the three walked towards the supper room and the Russian said good-night. "It is not good-bye, Madame. I, too, shall be in your country soon and I also hope that I may see you again before you leave Paris."
"I perfectly understand that there is some mystery here, Denzil and that you cannot tell me and equally I cannot ask you any questions, but it may be that in the days that are coming I could be of assistance to you. I have some very curious information which I am holding concerning Ferdinand Ardayre in his activities.
"I take very severe exercise when I begin to think of things I should not and I become savage when I require happiness now is our chance for making you acquainted with Harietta, she is moving our way." Madame Boleski swept towards them on the arm of an Austrian Prince and the Russian Verisschenzko said, with suave politeness: "Madame, let me present you to Lady Ardayre.
John's letter lay on the top, and Verisschenzko caught the look of interest which came into Denzil's face. "Don't mind me, my dear chap," he remarked, "read your letters." And they went on into the sitting-room. "I want just to look at this one it is from John Ardayre whom we met to-night," and Denzil opened it casually "I wonder what he is writing to me about, he did not say anything at dinner."
The guests had all arrived in time for the ball at Bridgeborough Castle on the twenty-third of July and had assisted next day at the garden party, and then a large dinner at Ardayre, and now on the last night of their stay Amaryllis' own ball was to take place. All the other big country houses round were filled also, and nothing could have been gayer or more splendidly done than the whole thing.
However, it may not any of it be true here, let us drink to the Ardayre son!" "To the Ardayre son!" and Verisschenzko filled his friend's glass with the decanted wine and they both drank together. "Your cousin is like you," he said presently. "A fatiguing likeness, but the same height and make and voice strange things these family reproductions of an exact type.
Then she became full of winsome ways and caresses, which she had hitherto been too timid to express; and every fond word she spoke stabbed John's heart. Could she not come and stay somewhere near so as to be with him while he was in training? It was unbearable to remain alone. But he told her that this would be impossible and that she must go back to Ardayre.
Verisschenzko had discovered what he required in regard to Ferdinand Ardayre before they went into the hall for coffee there was nothing further to be gained by having another tete-a-tete with Harietta, so he sat down by Stanislass and suggested that the other two should go on to the Coliseum without them, and Harietta was obliged to depart reluctantly with Ferdinand, having arranged that Stepan should let her know, directly he arrived in Paris, whither he was going in a day or two also.
