He felt that he had been tricked out of the only girl for whom he had ever cared, but, thank goodness, he would not have to think of her as dragging out a lengthening chain by the side of Stephen Richford. And Beatrice would find something to do of that he felt certain. "I will come and see you in a few days, dearest," he said.
Beatrice hesitated, and then spoke again. "We are a curious family, Mr. Bingham; you may have seen as much this afternoon. Had you not better think it over?" "If you mean that you do not want me to come, I won't," he said rather bluntly, and next second felt that he had made a mistake. "I!" Beatrice answered, opening her eyes. "I have no wishes in the matter.
And yet on his face was a suggestion of relief, of vulgar triumph. "What is it?" Beatrice asked. "Tell me. I could bear anything now!" "Your father!" Mark gasped. "We had to burst open his door. Sir Charles was found in his bed quite dead. He had been dead for some hours when they found him."
In September, 1869, her Majesty, with the Princesses Louise and Beatrice, paid a ten days' visit to Invertrosachs, occupying Lady Emily Macnaghten's house, and learning to know by heart Loch Katrine, Loch Lomond, &c., &c. In November the Queen was in the City after a long absence, for the double purpose of opening Blackfriars Bridge and the Holborn Viaduct.
Try it on again, my lad, and I'll drop you down the well of the staircase you've too much breath, you have. The other workmen laughed. It was evident that Crewe had made friends with them all. 'Won't be bad, when we get the decks cleared, he remarked to Beatrice. 'Plenty of room to make twenty thousand a year or so.
Wilfrid unlocked one of the drawers in his desk. As he drew it out, Beatrice stole to him, and peeped into the drawer. 'How neat, Wilfrid! she exclaimed. 'What a pretty pocket-book that is lying there. Do let me look at it. It was a morocco case, with an elastic band round it. Beatrice stretched her hand towards it, but he arrested her movement.
"All places are hot in hot weather," observed Beatrice, sapiently; "when there's an ocean breeze, it's lovely and cool here." "Yes," agreed Lora, "when there IS. But there 'most generally ISN'T. To-day, I'm sure the thermometer must be about two hundred." "That's your heated imagination," said Jack. "It's really about eighty-four in the shade."
The melancholy shade that Beatrice had seen so long on Berrington's face had vanished altogether. "My poor little girl is going to have peace and happiness at last," he said, with a deep thrill in his voice. "We shall value it all the more because we have waited for it so long, so that the three years of our probation will not be altogether wasted.
Beatrice presented her friend to Mrs. Baxendale, and at once withdrew. The lady with whom Wilfrid found himself talking was tall and finely made, not very graceful in her bearing, and with a large face, the singular kindness of which speedily overcame the first sense of dissatisfaction at its plainness.
Then he passed out on to the little staircase that led down into the wood, and called back to the approaching voice: "I am coming, Beatrice," 'Beatrice' being the name of his wife. As he called, a shaft of late sunlight suddenly irradiated the tall slim form of a woman coming up the wood. She wore no hat, and the sun made a misty glory of her pale gold hair.
