"The coroner did not think it necessary to have any inquest after Lord Beverdale's statement. It wouldn't have been very joyous for the Priory party. And I dare say he thought it might not be very cheerful for YOU." "How very kind!" said the young girl, with a quick laugh.
Miss Amelyn looked horrified for a moment, and then laughed; but immediately became concerned again. "No! listen to me, REALLY now! Let me finish my round alone! You'll have ample time if you go NOW to reach the Priory for luncheon. Do, please! It would be ever so much better for everybody. I feel quite guilty as it is, and I suppose I am already in Lord Beverdale's black books."
"When my cousin Fred, who was the young heir, died, and the present Lord Beverdale succeeded, HE never expected it, you know, for there were two lives, his two elder brothers, besides poor Fred's, between, but they both died, we went to live in the Dower House." "The Dower House?" repeated Sadie. "Yes, Lady Beverdale's separate property."
And in her present state of mind, remembering her companion's timid attitude towards Lord Beverdale's opinions, she was not above administering this slight snub to him in her presence. When they had driven away, with many regrets, Miss Amelyn was deeply concerned. "I am afraid," she said, with timid conscientiousness, "I have kept you from going with them.
Why else this inherited conscientious reverence for Lord Beverdale's position, shown by Miss Amelyn, which she, an American alive to its practical benefits, could not understand? Would Miss Amelyn and Lord Algernon have made a better match?
She proposed "going outside of Lord Beverdale's own preserves of grain-fed poor," and starting up her own game. She would return in time for luncheon if she could; if not, she "should annex the gruel of the first kind incapable she met." Yet, actually, she was far from displeased at being accidentally discovered by these people while following out her capricious whim of the morning.
