Lord Lossiemouth divined that each of the three believed him or herself to be the only one to tackle the subject. How ghastly! What a cruelly good short story it would make for a magazine! Then he read Lady Blore's letter. Apparently it was not pleasant reading. It seemed to prick somewhat sharply. He winced once or twice, and spoke angrily to it. "My good woman, as if I did not know that!
That fact did not insure to her immunity from blame on the part of that awful personage, her sister Mary. Good intentions had never yet received their due as extenuating circumstances in Lady Blore's sweeping judgments. If a certain secret chivalrous action of Aunt Aggie's "turned out wrong," she knew well the intonation in which Lady Blore would ask her why she had been such a fool.
Among the stone relics which have found a resting-place here, the most interesting are a sarcophagus, the head of a cross of Saxon character, and a group of coffin-lids near the north wall. Most of these last are perhaps of the thirteenth century. At the west end of the crypt is preserved Blore's reredos.
He groaned with sudden self-disgust. What unworthy thought would come to him next? Of course she knew nothing of this. He looked at the date of each letter carefully. Aunt Aggie's according to her wont had only the day of the week on it, just Tuesday, or it might be Thursday but Colonel Bellairs's and Lady Blore's were fully dated, and about a fortnight apart. Colonel Bellairs had written last.
Lord Lossiemouth tried to feel sarcastic. He tried to laugh. But it was no use. Lady Blore's arrow had penetrated a joint in his harness. After all he need take no notice of any of these monstrous effusions. He was disgusted with opening letters. Nevertheless he hurried on. Perhaps he should find others less intolerable.
