After trotting alongside for a few seconds he ordered the driver to halt, and, turning abruptly to us, demanded our passports. Now our passports were, at that precise moment, peaceably reposing in the side pocket of Mrs. Bingham's carriage; I therefore explained to the gen-d'arme how we were circumstanced, and added, that on arriving at Amiens the passport should be produced.
This was the time to explain all about Miss Bingham's visit; and I did so, of course omitting any details which might seem to me needless, or involving myself in inconsistency. Trevanion listened patiently to the end was silent for some moments then added "And you never saw the letter?" "Of course not. It was burned before my eyes." "I think the affair looks very serious, Lorrequer.
Very different was the reception Bingham Blake got, as he drove up with his tandem and tax-cart: half-a-dozen had kept themselves idle, each in the hope of being the lucky individual to come in for Bingham's shilling. "Och, Mr Bingham, shure I'm first," roared one fellow. But the first, as he styled himself, was soon knocked down under the wheels of the cart by the others.
"I will bring the letters this evening, if you will let me if Miss Simpson if you will be at home." "We shall be very happy to see you, Mr. Langbourne," said the girl formally, and then he went back to his hotel. Langbourne could not have told just why he had withdrawn his acceptance of Miss Bingham's invitation.
Let those support that doctrine who will, I can not." At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson's speech, Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, moved to lay the whole subject on the table. This motion was rejected yeas, 32; nays, 118. The House then rejected Mr. Bingham's proposed amendment, and recommitted the bill to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This painful business being concluded, I was placed upon a sofa, and being plentifully supplied with lemonade, and enjoined to keep quiet, left to my own meditations, such as they were, till evening Trevanion having taken upon him to apologize for our absence at Mrs. Bingham's dejeune, and O'Leary being fast asleep in his own apartments.
"I know," she said thoughtfully, "that my voice isn't like me; I'm not good enough for it. It ought to be Juliet Bingham's " "No, no!" he interrupted, with a sort of disgust that seemed not to displease her, "I can't imagine it!" "But we can't any of us have everything, and she's got enough as it is. She's a head higher than I am, and she wants to have her way ten times as bad."
I immediately inquired if a carriage had passed, resembling Mrs. Bingham's, and learned that it had, about an hour before, and that the lady in it had been informed that two persons, like those she asked after, had been seen in a caleche driving rapidly to Amiens, upon which she set out as fast as possible in pursuit.
I believe that you are Geoffrey Bingham's mistress, curse him! but I do not care. I am still willing to marry you." Elizabeth gasped. Was this to be the end of her scheming? Would the blind passion of this madman prevail over her revelations, and Beatrice still become his rich and honoured wife, while she was left poor and disgraced? Oh, it was monstrous! Oh, she had never dreamed of this!
That Captain Bingham's conduct was considered most gallant was proved by his being immediately promoted to post-rank. The following year the United States unhappily declared war against Great Britain.
