Algernon's design was to dress, that evening, in the uniform of society, so that, in the event of his meeting Harry Latters, he might assure him he was coming to his Club, and had been compelled to dine elsewhere with his uncle, or anybody. When he reached the door of his chambers, a man was standing there, who said, "Mr. Algernon Blancove?"
"But I can't give her to you," roared the squire, afflicted by his two great curses at once. "Why do you come to me? I'm not responsible for the doings of the dog. I'm sorry for you, if that's what you want to know. Do you mean to say that my son took her away from your house?" "I don't do so, Mr. Blancove. I'm seeking for my daughter, and I see her in company with your son."
Blancove," said Robert, "I bear you not a bit of malice couldn't if I would. I'm not sure I could have said guilty to the same sort of things, in order to tell an enemy of mine I was sorry for what I had done, and I respect you for your courage. Dahlia was taken from here by me." Edward nodded, as if briefly assenting, while his features sharpened. "Why?" he asked. "It was her sister's wish."
Edward Blancove credit for not meaning to be active in a dastardly assault. "But why was he in consultation with my enemy? And he let my enemy by the way, Percy, you dislike that sort of talk of 'my enemy, I know. You like it put plain and simple: but down in these old parts again, I catch at old habits; and I'm always a worse man when I haven't seen you for a time. Sedgett, say.
"Has she no will of her own?" "Very little, I'm afraid, just now, sir." "A remarkable sister! Are they of Puritan origin?" "Not that I am aware of." "And this father?" "Mr. Blancove, he is one of those sort he can't lift up his head if he so much as suspects a reproach to his children." Edward brooded.
Lovell has herself been moving to make discoveries down at Warbeach. Mr. Blancove has nearly quitted this sphere. She nursed him I was jealous! the word's out. Truth, courage, and suffering touch Margaret's heart. "Yours, "Percy." Jumping over a bank, Robert came upon Anthony, who was unsteadily gazing at a donkey that cropped the grass by a gate. "Here you are," said Robert, and took his arm.
Next day, while Squire Blancove was superintending the laying down of lines for a new carriage drive in his park, as he walked slowly up the green slope he perceived Farmer Fleming, supported by a tall young man; and when the pair were nearer, he had the gratification of noting likewise that the worthy yeoman was very much bent, as with an acute attack of his well-known chronic malady of a want of money.
"Suppose he won't let go?" "Cut him with your horsewhip." "You think it's about a debt, then?" "Intimidation, evidently." "I shall announce to him that the great Edward Blancove is not to be intimidated. You'll let me borrow your name, old Ned. I've stood by you in my time. As for leaving Fairly, I tell you I can't. It's too delightful to be near Peggy Lovell."
You think this Mr. Blancove helped, or instigated this man Sedgett in his attack upon you?" "I haven't a doubt that he did." "It's not plain evidence." "It's good circumstantial evidence." "At any rate, you are perhaps justified in thinking him capable of this: though the rule is, to believe nothing against a gentleman until it is flatly proved when we drum him out of the ranks.
Algernon not Edward Blancove was seen with Dahlia in a box at the Playhouse. He was there with Dahlia, yet I don't think him the guilty man. There's a finger of light upon that other." "Who is this lady?" Major Waring asked, with lifted eyebrows. "Mrs. Lovell." At the name, Major Waring sat stricken. "Lovell!" he repeated, under his breath. "Lovell! Was she ever in India?" "I don't know, indeed."
