When the last faint sounds were lost in silence she stood for a moment thinking then, rousing on a sudden, hurried into the sitting-room, and rang the bell. "I shall go mad," she said to herself, "if I stay here alone." Even Mr. Bishopriggs felt the necessity of being silent when he stood face to face with her on answering the bell. "I want to speak to him. Send him here instantly." Mr.
"If you must stay," she rejoined, "can't you get a room in some other part of the house?" But one last mistake in dealing with her, in her present nervous condition, was left to make and the innocent Arnold made it. "In some other part of the house?" he repeated, jestingly. "The landlady would be scandalized. Mr. Bishopriggs would never allow it!"
"Hang your reflections! Has Sir Patrick left the inn?" The reflections of Mr. Bishopriggs declined to be disposed of in any thing approaching to a summary way. On they flowed from their parent source, as slowly and as smoothly as ever! "Noo ye're married to her, there's her bonnets and goons and under-clothin' her ribbons, laces, furbelows, and fallals. A sair expense again!"
She declined to believe that Bishopriggs had deceived her. I saw that she would take the matter into her own hands again unless I interfered; and I went to the place. Exactly as I had anticipated, the person to whom the card referred me had not heard of Bishopriggs for years, and knew nothing whatever about his present movements.
"Bide a wee! There's ane o' them has drawn bridle at the hottle, and he's speerin' after the leddy that cam' here alane. The leddy's your leddy, as sure as saxpence. I doot," said Mr. Bishopriggs, walking away to the window, "that's what ye've got to do with it." Arnold looked at Anne. "Do you expect any body?" "Is it Geoffrey?" "Impossible. Geoffrey is on his way to London."
Brinkworth! that joke if it is a joke is worn out!" "I beg your pardon," said Arnold. "You may leave your excuse to me," pursued Anne. "Do you go by the up train, or the down?" "By the up train." The door opened suddenly; and Mr. Bishopriggs appeared with the dinner. Anne nervously separated herself from Arnold. The one available eye of Mr.
Arriving in Perth the day after the festivities at Swanhaven, Bishopriggs proceeded to the Harp of Scotland at which establishment for the reception of travelers he possessed the advantage of being known to the landlord as Mrs. Inchbare's right-hand man, and of standing high on the head-waiter's list of old and intimate friends.
"You had better tell the servant I am no stranger to you," said Anne, looking toward the kitchen-maid, who stood in the passage staring at her in stolid amazement. "My ain sister's child!" cried Bishopriggs, lying with his customary readiness. "Go yer ways, Maggie. The bonny lassie's my ain kith and kin. The tongue o' scandal, I trow, has naething to say against that.
Glenarm under shelter of the dark. Reaching this conclusion, Bishopriggs decided to ascertain from the servants what the lady's future movements might be; and, thus informed, to startle her by anonymous warnings, conveyed through the post, and claiming their answer through the advertising channel of a newspaper.
She took a little of the pie, and looked hard at Bishopriggs. That discreet man, showing no sign of recognition on his side, bowed respectfully, and went on round the table. "I wonder whether he has got the letter about him?" thought Blanche.
