Only say that people may know!" As her black eyes snapped at Beauvayse, and her tiny hands dramatically entreated, he had an instant of hesitation, palpable to one who stood by. In an instant he pulled himself together. "The whole world may know, as far as I am concerned." "It is best," said the Mother's soft, melodious voice, "that our world, at least, should know."
She had learned to love, and thrilled at the touch of passion. Well, Beauvayse was dead, but Love would come again. He would read its resurrection in the radiance of those eyes. Then, exit Saxham! Such a marriage as theirs could be easily dissolved, but he would not take the easy road. He had decided. His should be the strait and narrow way of death. His death was a debt he owed her.
Kindly answer, Miss Mildare!" Beauvayse's eyes were on her. He said to her below his breath: "Tell him to go!" She stammered: "Th thank you. But I I had rather you went on." Beauvayse saw his opportunity, and added, with an intolerable smile: "My 'familiarities, as you are pleased to term them, being more acceptable to a lady than the attentions of the Dop Doctor."
"So that he can see at a glance," Lady Hannah said approvingly, "that all precautions are being taken. Very sensible, I call it." "Ha, ha, haw!" Bingo's joyous explosion revealed to the outraged woman the fact that she had been "had." "Haw, haw! What a beggar you are to rot, Beauvayse! and that makes five to us."
"All I've got to say is," declares Captain Bingo, "that marriage with one's equal in point of breedin' is sometimes a blank draw, but marriage with one's inferior is a howling error. And if you had done as I'd stake my best hat you would have done, supposin' you'd been left to loll in the lap of the lovely Lessie " Beauvayse jumps up in a rage.
And, to put things mildly, there would have been the mischief to pay with your people." "Yes," Beauvayse agrees rather dreamily; "there would have been an awful lot of bother with my people."
Saxham answered stiffly: "I should say that in this case the swan decidedly predominates." The other whistled a bar of his pleasant little tune before he spoke again. "It is a capital thing for Beauvayse, being shut up here, out of the way of women." "Are there no women in Gueldersdorp?" "None of the kind Beauvayse's canoe is given to capsizing on."
"That's because I signed my name 'John Basil Edward Tobart," explains Beauvayse; "and because the Registrar a benevolent old cock in a large white waistcoat, like somebody's father in a farcical comedy wasn't sufficiently up in the Peerage to be impressed." "Weren't there witnesses of sorts?" hints Bingo. "Of sorts.
"Just before dawn and after Beauvayse relieved you at Staff Bombproof South." Captain Bingo swallows violently, runs a thick finger round inside his collar, and his big face goes through several changes of complexion, ranging from boiled suet-dumpling paleness to beetroot red. He looks away and blinks before he says in a voice that wobbles: "Then my wife's all right?"
Tell me to cross the river and take you back to the ladies of the Convent, or order me to continue my walk. In which case I shall understand that the familiarities of Lord Beauvayse are not unwelcome to you." "By God ...! You " Beauvayse choked, then suddenly remembered where and how to strike. But he waited, and Saxham waited, and still she did not speak. "Am I to go or stay?
