As he passed Blent Hall, he saw a girl on the bridge a girl in black looking down at the water. Lady Tristram? It was strange to call her by the title that had been another's. But he supposed it must be Lady Tristram. She did not look up as he passed; he retained a vision of the slack dreariness of her pose.
He even felt rather richer; which seemed a strange paradox, till he reflected that the owners of Blent had seldom been able to lay hands readily on a fluid sum of fifteen thousand pounds, subject to no claims for houses to be repaired, buildings to be maintained, cottages to be built, wages to be paid, and the dozen other ways in which money disperses itself over the surface of a landed estate.
“Descend, and solve by that descent, This mystery of life; Where good and ill, together blent, Wage an undying strife. “For rivers twain are gushing still, And pour a mingled flood; Good in the very depths of ill— Ill in the heart of good. “The last are first, the first are last, As angel eyes behold; These from the sheepcote sternly cast, Those welcomed to the fold.
But" he laughed a little "I'm Broadley of Mingham, not Tristram of Blent." "I see. That's it? And our friend the Major?" "I shouldn't so much mind having a turn-up with the Major." "But Tristram of Blent is is too much?" "It's not your fault, you can't help it," smiled Bob. "You're born to it and " He ended with a shrug. "You're very fond of her?" Harry asked, frowning a little.
He looked up toward Merrion and saw the lights in the windows. "I think Mina is with us for life, Cecily," said he. "I like her to be," she answered with a laugh. "First because I like being loved, and she loves me. And then I like you to be loved, and she loves you. Besides, she's been so closely mixed up with it all, hasn't she? She knew about you before I did, she knew Blent before I did.
Ruth felt her heart swell in anger against Rufus Blent, the Logwood real estate man. If she had not been determined before to aid Jerry Sheming in every way possible, she was now. If there was a box of money and papers hidden on Cliff Island, once belonging to Pete Tilton, the old hunter, Ruth desired to keep Blent from finding it. She believed Jerry's story about the treasure box and all.
What do you think he'll find?" queried Preston, who was evidently not above aggravating the old fellow. "Never you mind! Never you mind!" croaked Blent. "If you folks won't discharge him and put him off the island, I'll do it, myself." "How can you, Mr. Blent?" asked Mrs. Tingley, feeling some disposition to cross swords with him. "Never you mind. I'll do it.
And, in that huge lamentation, there mingled depths of disillusion, whispers of hope, desires and wearinesses, laughter and grimaces the whole of life, indeed, seemed blent there, swift-passing, tragic, knotted in the bitterness of everything that ever has been and that still must be. Enrique sat down again. Nameless suffering clutched his throat, so that he felt a profound desire for tears.
Now it halted as in exhaustion and great pain; now, once more, it struggled forward, limping, foot by foot; crawling, hanging fast to the ropes like some great insect meshed in the wind-swung filaments. She saw it, and she knew the truth at last. "Allan! Allan come quick! Help me help!" Then she collapsed. At her door she fell. All things blent and swirled, faded, darkened. She knew no more.
Apart from the herd, with folded arms, and an expression of countenance in which much admiration was blent with some curiosity and a little contempt, Don Martin Fonseca gazed upon the favourite. "I have done this man a favour," thought he; "I have contributed towards his first rise I am now his suppliant. Faith!
