"Under the circumstances you mention, if you were to assert that Lord Blenavon was at Braster Grange I do not think that I should contradict you." Ray smiled. "Thank you, doctor," he said. "Good morning." The doctor drove on, and we pursued our way. "It was a very dark night," Ray said, half to himself, "but if Blenavon was the man I hit he ought to have a cracked skull."
"I was to have dined out to-night, and I must go and make my peace. Another glass of wine?" I rose at once. "Nothing more, thank you," I said. "I will just say good-night to your sister." "She's probably in the drawing-room," he remarked. "If not, I will make your excuses when I see her." Blenavon hurried out.
I shall see you at dinner-time, Blenavon. I have some messages for you." I saw the whip come down upon the woman's horse, but I did not dare to look into her face. Blenavon, with a smothered oath and a black look at his sister, galloped after her. I rejoined Lady Angela, who was already in the road. "Dear me," she said, "what a magnificent nerve that woman must have!
Lady Angela turned towards me eagerly. "Mr. Ducaine," she exclaimed, "have you seen anything of Lord Blenavon to-day?" I shook my head. "I have not seen him for several days, Lady Angela," I answered. Ray said something to her which I could not hear. She nodded and left us together.
Are you willing to leave at once with us and to depart altogether from this part of the country, or will you face the consequences?" Blenavon was a coward. He shook and stammered. He was not even master of his voice. "I do not understand you," he faltered. "You have no right to speak to me like this." "Right or no right, I do," Ray answered. "If you refuse I shall not spare you.
On the whole I think that they got the worst of it." "The other one was Lord Blenavon!" I exclaimed. "It was." "Then he is concerned in the plots which are going on against us," I continued. "I felt certain of it. What a blackguard!" "For his sister's sake," Colonel Ray said softly, "I want to keep him out of it if I can. Therefore I hit him a little harder than was necessary.
