He will be here in five minutes." Mrs. Carew nodded. She had not forgotten this guest. "The Vicomte d'Audierne," said Mr. Bodery, with considerable interest, turning away from the tea-table, cup in hand. "Is that the man who got out of my train?" "Yes," replied Sidney; "do you know him?" "I have heard of him." Mr. Bodery turned and took a slice of bread and butter from a plate which Hilda held.
Prom the position of a mere supernumerary, he worked his way upwards, taking on to his shoulders one duty after another bearing the weight, quietly and confidently, of one responsibility after another. This exactly suited Mr. Bodery and his sub-editor. There was very little of the slave in the composition of either.
Mother, Molly, you, and I know it, and we must keep it to ourselves. We will tell Stanley that Christian has gone off suddenly in connection with his work, and the same excuse will do for the neighbours and servants. I will telegraph this morning to Mr. Bodery, the editor of the Beacon, and await his instructions. I think that is all that we can do in the meantime."
We have endeavoured to show how the followers of Ignatius Loyola could have brought about the present crisis in France; the extent to which they would benefit by a religious reaction is patent to the most casual observer; let the Government of England do the rest." Mr. Bodery was, however, not listening. He was staring vacantly at a telegram which lay spread out upon the table.
Bodery's "Tell him I'm engaged" with a little nod of mutual understanding which was intensely comprehensive. On this occasion, his manner said, "Have him in have him in, my boy, and you will find it worth your while'" "Show him in," said Mr. Bodery. The nameless gentleman must have been at the door upon the boy's heels, for no sooner had the words left Mr.
Bodery when the door was thrown open, and a servant announced M. d'Audierne. He who entered immediately afterwards with an almost indecent haste was of middle height, with a certain intrepid carriage of the head which appeals to such as take pleasure in the strength and endurance of men.
Chalder," he said cheerily, as he scribbled off his message to Mr. Bodery, while Hilda made friendly overtures to the official cat, "I wish that you would forget to send me the disagreeable letters, and only forward the pleasant ones. There was one this morning, for instance, which you might very easily have mislaid.
"That young man," he said, "goes about the world with his eyes remarkably wide open, ha-ha!" Mr. Bodery rolled the telegram out flat with his pencil silently. Stanley Carew was so anxious that the inspection of the boat should not be delayed, that an expedition to the Cove was arranged for the same afternoon. Accordingly the five young people walked across the bleak tableland together.
I said that you were a friend of a friend, and mentioned Vellacott's name. He knew his father very well." "Were you" asked Mr. Bodery, throwing away the end of his cigar and rising from his deep chair "were you looking at the Vicomte when you answered the question?" "Yes." "And there was no sign of discomfort no flicker of the eyelids, for instance?" "No; nothing." Mr.
Bodery?" He gave a little jerk with his head in the direction of the house he had just left. "I do not know." "I was told last night that he was a friend of this Christian Vellacott a protector." The two Frenchmen looked at each other in silence. Signor Bruno was evidently alarmed his lips were white and unsteady.
