Her firm will forced her to pull herself together and decide what to do when they should come face to face. To be totally unconcerned was the best thing to look and act as though Michael Arranstoun were indeed a perfect stranger introduced to her for the first time in her life.
But he felt it might be wiser not to be too precipitate about suggesting the thing to her. She had certainly given him no indication that she would receive the idea favorably, and appeared to be of the type of character which could not be coerced. He felt very glad Michael Arranstoun had not responded to his pressing request to join him.
Further use of Zadig's deductive method produced the conviction that, as an abstract young man would be equally out of reach were she still bound to her husband or married to Lord Fordyce and could only be obtained were she divorced some other reason for her distaste and evident depression about this latter state coming to her must be looked for, and could only be found in the supposition that the Seigneur of Arranstoun might be himself her husband!
"Yes," he answered, and grew stiff. The sudden picture of her living in England with Henry came to him as an ugly shock. "Before you settle down in England, I would like you to see Arranstoun, please promise me to come and stay there before you do? I will have a party whenever you like. I would love to show it to you every part of it especially the chapel it is full of wonderful things!"
Arranstoun, should begin to set the law in motion, to break the bond between them and his lawyer inquired what his wishes were upon the subject and what should be the nature of their reply? To get this at Héronac Sabine's house! He shook with fierce laughter in his bed. Then his temper got up, and he came to a fresh determination.
"I particularly do not wish Lord Fordyce ever to know that my name was Arranstoun," she said. "I will pay anything if it is necessary to stop reports and if such things are possible to do in this country?" But Mr. Parsons could hold out no really encouraging hopes of this.
When five minutes had passed, and there was as yet no sign of his promised bride crossing the road from the Inn, Mr. Arranstoun began to experience an unpleasant impatience. The quarter chimed his temper rose had she been playing a trick upon him and never intended at any time to come? He grew furious and paced the fine turf behind the Lodge, swearing hotly as was his wont when enraged.
Arranstoun was extremely startled and annoyed, too, and before he took in the situation, he had exclaimed, while Binko gave an ominous growl of displeasure: "Confound it who is that! These are private rooms!" Then, seeing it was a girl on the floor, he said in another voice: "Quiet, Binko " and the dog retired to his own basket under a distant table. "Oh, I beg your pardon but "
"Then let us dress, darling, and go down and outshine all these dear, dowdy Englishwomen; and while you are sipping courtesy and gentleness with Lord Fordyce, I shall try to quaff gloriously attractive, aboriginal force with Mr. Arranstoun but it would have been more suitable to our characters could we have changed partners. Now, run along!" Rose Forster had felt she must not lure Mr.
Sabine overcome by Lord Fordyce's goodness, had let him hold her arm while her head was perilously near to his shoulder. It all looked very intimate and lover-like when seen from afar. The greatest pain Michael Arranstoun had ever experienced came into his heart, and without waiting a second he turned on his heel and went back to the house.
