In the reckless state of mind which this feeling produced, I abruptly reminded my host that he was wasting our time, by the most dangerous question that I could possibly put to him. "Mr. Dexter," I said, "have you seen anything lately of Mrs. Beauly?" The easy sense of enjoyment expressed in his face left it at those rash words, and went out like a suddenly extinguished light.
At the same time that the works at Corpach were begun, the dock or basin at the north-eastern extremity of the canal, situated at Clachnaharry, on the shore of Loch Beauly, was also laid out, and the excavations and embankments were carried on with considerable activity.
He knew her as the enemy who destroyed the domestic peace of the mistress of the house; he loved the mistress of the house and he hated her enemy accordingly. The preservation of his guilty secret, and the persecution of Mrs. Beauly: there you have the greater and the lesser motive of his conduct in his relations with Mrs. Eustace the second!"*
Beauly had resented the question, and a temporary coolness between the two ladies had been the result. Interrogated as to her relations with the prisoner, Mrs. Beauly indignantly denied that she or Mr. Macallan had ever given the deceased lady the slightest cause for jealousy. It was impossible for Mrs.
Macallan was speaking to him from the terrace below. "'Dexter! I heard Mr. Macallan say. 'Where is Mrs. Beauly? Have you seen anything of her? "Mr. Dexter answered, in his quick, off-hand way of speaking, 'Not I. I know nothing about her. "Then I advanced, and, begging pardon for intruding, I mentioned to Mr.
I bought from the late Mr David Sheriffs, Barnyards of Beauly, in spring, ten Highlanders, every one of which had cancer in different stages. If you put upon grass cattle which have been fed through the winter upon cake, corn, brewers' wash, grains, or potatoes, and kept in hot byres or close strawyards, and look to them to pay a rent, you will find that they will soon make a poor man of you.
What did Lady Clarinda say about Mrs. Beauly? All that you wanted to hear?" "All, and more," I answered. "What? what? what?" he cried wild with impatience in a moment. Mr. Playmore's last prophetic words were vividly present to my mind.
If any such feeling as sympathy is a possible feeling in such a nature as his, he ought to like Helena Beauly. She is the most completely unconventional person I know. When she does break out, poor dear, she says things and does things which are almost reckless enough to be worthy of Dexter himself. I wonder whether you would like her?" "You have kindly asked me to visit you, Lady Clarinda.
The Judges allowed the protest, and refused to permit the question to be put. Mrs. Beauly thereupon withdrew. She had betrayed a very perceptible agitation on hearing the letter referred to, and on having it placed in her hands. This exhibition of feeling was variously interpreted among the audience. Upon the whole, however, Mrs.
I had the worst possible opinion of Mrs. Beauly I should not have been in the least surprised if I had caught her in Eustace's room. I looked through the keyhole. In this case, the key was out of it or was turned the right way for me I don't know which. Eustace's bed was opposite the door. No discovery. I could see him, all by himself, innocently asleep. I reflected a little.
