Whatever may be our lots hereafter, yours I mean and mine, I trust that yours may be free from all disaster. Oh, that I might venture to hope that, at some future day, the privilege might be mine of protecting you from all danger!" "I can protect myself very well, I can assure you. Good night, Captain Bellfield. We won't take you and Mr Cheesacre out of your way; will we, Kate?
But she made up her mind that Cheesacre should be the one to have his throat cut fatally, and that Bellfield should be the survivor. Cheesacre, when he reached the drawing-room, found Bellfield sitting on the same sofa with Mrs Greenow looking at a book of photographs which they both of them were handling together.
"And how much better is the warm glow of love?" Captain Bellfield, as he asked this question, deliberately got up, and moved his chair over to the widow's side. But the widow as deliberately changed her position to the corner of a sofa. The Captain did not at once follow her, nor did he in any way show that he was aware that she had fled from him.
Captain Bellfield was also at Norwich, having obtained some quasi-military employment there in the matter of drilling volunteers. Certain capacities in that line it may be supposed that he possessed, and, as his friend Cheesacre said of him, he was going to earn an honest penny once in his life.
And who," continued Madame de Ventadour, without waiting for an answer to the first question, "who is that gentleman, the young one I mean, leaning against the door?" "What, with the dark moustache?" said Lord Taunton. "He is a cousin of mine." "Oh, no; not Colonel Bellfield; I know him how amusing he is! no; the gentleman I mean wears no moustache."
"But you see, we might perish beneath the waves together." "Together! What a sweet word that is; perish together! If it were not that there might be something better even than that, I would wish to perish in such company." "But I should not wish anything of the kind, Captain Bellfield, and therefore pray be careful." There was no perishing by water on that occasion.
Why, I'll come and stay with you half my time, and nurse the children, as an old grand-aunt should." "But about ." Then he hesitated, and she asked him of what he was thinking. "You don't mean to take that man Bellfield, do you?" "Come, Mr Cheesacre, that's rank jealousy. What right can you have to ask me whether I shall take any man or no man?
He had resolved that he would not leave the room that evening till Bellfield had left it; and that he would get a final answer from the widow, if not that night, for he thought it very possible that they might both be sent away together, then early after breakfast on the following morning. For the present, he had given up any idea of turning his time to good account.
Kate had acknowledged to her aunt that her brother had behaved badly, very badly; and the aunt had confessed to the niece that she regarded Captain Bellfield as a fit subject for compassion. "And he was violent to you, and broke your arm? I always knew it was so," Mrs Greenow had said, speaking with reference to her nephew. But this Kate had denied. "No," said she; "that was an accident.
"Not no more than anybody else; but if a man is handsome, ma'am, why it stands to reason that he is handsome." "I suppose Captain Bellfield has given you a kiss and a pair of gloves." "As for gloves and such like, Mr Cheesacre is much better for giving than the Captain; as we all know; don't we, ma'am? But in regard to kisses, they're presents as I never takes from anybody.
