He never sleeps or enjoys himself as other people do." "Why not?" asked the girl, to whom this flattery was most sweet and pleasant. "His life is one long thought of you. If you were poor, he would not mind; there would be some hope of winning you; he would not let any other barrier than riches stand before him that is one that honorable men cannot climb." "I do not see it," said Miss Arleigh.
"How long have you been on foot?" "Since eight this morning," he replied. "And now it is nearly eight at night! Well, you may thank Heaven for preserving your life." Lord Arleigh turned away with a sigh. How little could any one guess what life meant for him life spent without love love without Madaline! "I have known several lose their lives in this way," continued the same voice.
"I am not going to remain here myself," he said, in answer to the inquiries about rooms and refreshments. "Lady Arleigh will live at Winiston House altogether; and, as you have always served the family faithfull and well, I should like you to remain in her service."
But no answering enthusiasm shone in Miss Arleigh's face, and Adelaide noticed it. "Allan will enjoy himself so much here," she continued. "Ah! Marion, the sight of you will be like sunshine to flowers to him." But Miss Arleigh did not look delighted; she was thinking more of how she could keep such a secret from her good, kind guardians than of any pleasure in meeting her lover.
Of course, the incident is all new to you you have been away from all kinds of news; to us it is an old, worn-out story. Lord Arleigh and I quarreled and parted because of his marriage, so you may imagine it is not a very attractive subject to me." "Well, I will say no more about it, but I am sincerely sorry, Philippa.
"I might as well wish for one of the stars as for his love it seems just as far off." Lord Arleigh did not go to Beechgrove as he had intended. He found so many old friends and so many engagements in London that he was not inclined to leave it. Then, too, he began to notice many little things which made him feel uncomfortable.
The family solicitor went down to Winiston House occasionally, but Lord Arleigh never. The few who met him after his marriage found him strangely altered.
It was with great difficulty that Lord Arleigh controlled his indignation; but he replied, calmly: "I have nothing to tell you." A look of disappointment came over the dark, handsome face. "You can keep your secrets," he said "so can I. If you will tell me nothing, neither shall I; but I might make it worth your while to trust me."
I once waylaid her as if by accident, on her way home, and asked her where she had been, and she said she had been on her way to Arleigh wood, but had not got so far, as she was too tired. Too tired! She had been walking up and down with Wentworth for over an hour. I timed them. She never meant to go to Arleigh wood. And when they said Good-bye, he he kissed her hand.
It was Lady Peters' birthday, and Philippa had invited some of her most intimate friends; not young people, but those with whom she thought her chaperon would enjoy herself best. The result was a very pleasant dinner-party, followed by a very pleasant evening. Lord Arleigh could not be absent, for it was, in some measure, a family fête.
