All the hot blood of her ancestors flamed in wrath as young Jacqueline heard this reply of the rebel lord. "Crush we these rebel curs, von Brederode," she cried, pointing to the banner of Arkell; "for by my father's memory, they shall have neither mercy nor life from me." Fast upon the curt refusal of the Lord of Arkell came his message of defiance.
Then together we started to walk to the corner of the side street. We were past the side-door of the boarding-house when a voice called out, "Oh, Maurice," and then, maybe noticing me, I suppose, "Oh, Captain Blake," and Maurice turned. Minnie Arkell Mrs. Miner rather was there at the kitchen window.
Boldly and without hesitation, while all the watchers had eyes but for him alone, the young Lord of Arkell walked straight up to Hercules, the largest of the three, and laid his hand caressingly upon the shaggy mane.
It was a singular, and perhaps, to our modern ears, a most unladylike proposal; but it shows how, even in the heart of a sovereign countess and a girl general, warlike desires may give place to gentler thoughts. To the Lord Arkell, however, this unexpected proposition came as an indication of weakness. "My lady countess fears to face my determined followers," he thought.
"Leo's been away in Scotland ever since he had the pleasure of meeting you. He only came back to-night." "Then I'm not quite so hurt. He's always running about, I suppose, to kill things, like my husband." "He does manage a good deal in that way. If you are going to the Arkell House ball you'll meet him there. He and his wife are both " "How did do! Oh, Charley, I never expected to see you.
Leo sat in the place of honour, with Lord Holme between her and Sir Donald. She was intensely pink. Even her gown was of that colour, and she wore a pink aigrette in her hair, fastened with a diamond ornament. Her thin, betraying throat was clasped by the large dog-collar she had worn at Arkell House.
When she came back to Gloucester she was still a very handsome girl, spoken of as the "Miner widow" among people who had known her only since her marriage, but still called Minnie Arkell by most of those who had known her when she was a child. In Gloucester she bought the first house just around the corner from her grandmother's.
For other company going out there was a big steam-yacht with Minnie Arkell and her friends aboard, which did not get out of the harbor. Out by the Point they shipped a sea and put back, with Minnie Arkell waving her handkerchief and singing out "Don't take in any sail, Maurice," as they turned back.
Remember I own a third of her. Mr. Duncan sold me a third just before I left Gloucester." That was a surprise to us that Mrs. Miner owned a part of the Johnnie Duncan. It set Clancy to figuring, and turning in that night, he said he was full of fizzy wine, but clear-headed enough "Well, what do you make of that? The Foster girl a third and Minnie Arkell a third of this one.
Our total losses here were only eleven machines, but these carried precious lives, some of our bravest and most skilful amateur airmen, Norman Cabot, Charles Jerome Edwards, Harold F. McCormick, James A. Blair, Jr., B. B. Lewis, Percy Pyne, 2nd, Eliot Cross, Roy D. Chapin, Logan A. Vilas and Bartlett Arkell.
