Cynthia and poor Beadon Clarke were of the party, I remember. We had a delightful time." "Why do you say poor Beadon Clarke?" asked Dion abruptly. That day he was at a great parting of the ways. He was concentrated upon himself and his own decision, so concentrated that the conventions meant little to him.
Beadon Clarke never lifted his eyes from his knees. All the women in court, except Mrs. Chetwinde and Mrs. Clarke, were looking strangely alive and conscious. Dion had forgotten everything except Stamboul and the life of unwisdom. Suppose Mrs.
Let us light up." He walked slowly, with his gently precise gait, to a cigar cabinet, opened it, and told the young men to help themselves. "And now for the Clarke case," he said. "Is that the name of the woman from Constantinople?" asked Dion. "Yes, Mrs. Beadon Clarke," said Daventry. "But she hates the Beadon and never uses it. Beadon Clarke's trying to divorce her, and I'm on her side.
Clarke was positively going back to live in Constantinople, and had already taken a flat there, "against every one's advice." Beadon Clarke had got himself transferred, and was to be sent to Madrid, so she wouldn't run against him; but nevertheless she was making a great mistake.
Clarke was stepping down from the witness-box; Dumeny, his eyes half closed, was brushing his shining silk hat with the sleeve of his coat; Beadon Clarke was leaning to speak to his mother. The Court was adjourned. As Dion got up he felt the heat as if it were heat from a furnace. His face and his body were burning. "Come and speak to Cynthia, and take us to tea somewhere can you?" said Mrs.
He mentioned several, both women and men, among them a lady who was famed for her exclusiveness as well as for her brains. Evidently Mrs. Chetwinde had been speaking by the book when she had said at the trial, "If she wins, she wins, and it's all right. If she gets the verdict, the world won't do anything, except laugh at Beadon Clarke."
Beadon Clarke's face was rigid, and a fierce red, like the red of a blush of shame, was fixed on his cheeks. His mother had pulled a thick black veil with a pattern down over her face, and was fidgeting perpetually with a chain of small moonstones set in gold which hung from her throat to her waist.
Beadon did not wish to see me again, that I had been deceived by the mock marriage, and that he sent me twenty pounds, and I might have more by writing to his clerk. Not to him! I was never to see him or speak to him again." "And what did you do then, Milly?" "It was very hard for me. I fainted, and when I came to myself Mr. Johnson was gone, and the money was stuffed into my pocket.
He appears to have felt the first symptom of his malady while he was sitting with me. This afternoon I attend his funeral. He is a great loss; he seems to have been very much liked and esteemed. The death of Mr. Ritchie, followed by the appointment of Sir B. Frere to the Government of Bombay, the promotion of Mr. Beadon to the Lieutenant- Governorship of Bengal, and the retirement of Mr.
But there is no need to ask you, for you look a picture of health, and spirits, and and good luck, Milly Harrington!" "Oh yes, I am very well. You don't know that I have been married since you saw me last. My name is Mrs. Beadon now." She drew off her glove as she spoke, and let her long hand fall upon her lap, so that the old ladies might see her wedding-ring and keeper.
