His hair, rising from the parting to the right of his forehead, in what his admiring Lady Blandish called his plume, fell away slanting silkily to the temples across the nearly imperceptible upward curve of his brows there felt more than seen, so slight it was and gave to his profile a bold beauty, to which his bashful, breathless air was a flattering charm.
Lady Blandish gave him a multitude of reasons. "Ay! true," he muttered. "Adrian said the same. He must not see her. How could I think of it! The child is naked woman. He would despise her. Naturally!" "Naturally!" echoed the lady. "Then, madam," and the baronet rose, "there is one thing for me to determine upon. I must, for the first time in his life, leave him."
I confess I should scarcely have hoped to find one like her." "Admit that your science does not accomplish everything." "No: it was presumptuous beyond a certain point," said the baronet, meaning deep things. Lady Blandish eyed him. "Ah me!" she sighed, "if we would always be true to our own wisdom!" "You are very singular to-night, Emmeline." Sir Austin stopped his walk in front of her.
To this Adrian replied, after a contemplative comfortable lapse of a day or two, which might be laid to his efforts to adopt the lady's advice, "The point is that the half man declines to come without the whole man. The terrible question of sex is our obstruction." Lady Blandish was in despair.
Not a word did he say of Richard's return, and for some reason or other neither Richard nor Lucy spoke of it now. Lady Blandish wrote back: "His father thinks he has refused to come to him. By your utter silence on the subject, I fear that it must be so. Make him come. Bring him by force. Insist on his coming. Is he mad? He must come at once."
On the day that Hippias made his proposal, Adrian, seconded by Lady Blandish, also made one. The sweet Spring season stirred in Adrian as well as in others: not to pastoral measures: to the joys of the operatic world and bravura glories. He also suggested that it would be advisable to carry Richard to town for a term, and let him know his position, and some freedom.
If he does I shall dress myself as a boy and go after him, and he will not know me till I am wounded. Oh I pray he will never, never be wounded. I wonder what I should feel if Richard was ever to die." Upstairs Clare was lying dead. "Lady Blandish said there was a likeness between Richard and me. Richard said I hope I do not hang down my head as she does.
"Speak to the boy solemnly. It would be almost better he should go back to that little thing he has married." "Almost?" Lady Blandish opened her eyes. "I have been advising it for the last month and more." "A choice of evils," said Mrs. Doria's sour-sweet face and shake of the head. Each lady saw a point of dissension, and mutually agreed, with heroic effort, to avoid it by shutting their mouths.
It appeared to him politic, reasonable, and just, that the uncle of this young woman, who had so long nursed the prudent scheme of marrying her to his son, should not only not be thwarted in his object but encouraged and even assisted. At least, not thwarted. Sir Austin had no glass before him while these ideas hardened in his mind, and he had rather forgotten the letter of Lady Blandish.
"Do I what?" she calmly queried. "I was going to say, do you I mean, I love him so much." Lady Blandish smiled and slightly coloured. They frequently approached this theme, and always retreated from it; always with the same beating of heart to Richard, accompanied by the sense of a growing mystery, which, however, did not as yet generally disturb him.
