Yes, the wooing of Milly Fauncey had been almost too easy, and he knew that he was not likely to be so fortunate this time. But now the prize to be won was such an infinitely greater prize! He told himself that he mustn't be impatient. This, after all, was only the second day of Helen Brabazon's stay at Wyndfell Hall.
Good-bye, Lady George; I shan't be at Lady Brabazon's, because she has forgotten to invite me, but I suppose I shall see you at Mrs. Montacute Jones'?" "I shall certainly be at Mrs. Montacute Jones'," said Mary, trying to speak cheerfully. The bell was rang and the door was closed, and then the husband and wife were together.
Come and have supper with me alone to-morrow night on board the Sphinx, and in return I'll give you back those notes I hold of Brabazon's every one of them." "Oh, I couldn't!" Ann drew away from him instinctively. "You know I couldn't do that, Brett." He shrugged his shoulders. "Very well, then, Tony must pay up or go under," he answered nonchalantly. "No, no!" She made a quick step forward.
She even told me that, apart from her husband, she had never cared for anyone as she grew to care for me. And yet oh, Sir Lyon, what was so very, very terrible just now, was that I felt her looking at me with a kind of hatred in her dead face," and, as she uttered these last words, an expression of deep pain came over Helen Brabazon's countenance.
Mary was no doubt triumphant in her spirit. She had conquered him for a time, and felt that it was so. But she was, on that account, more tender and observant to him than ever. She even offered to give up Lady Brabazon's party, altogether. She did not much care for Lady Brabazon's party, and was willing to make a sacrifice that was perhaps no sacrifice. But to this he did not assent.
He declared himself to be quite ready for Lady Brabazon's party, and to Lady Brabazon's party they went. As she was on the staircase she asked him a question. "Do you mind my having a waltz to-night?" He could not bring himself for the moment to be stern enough to refuse. He knew that the pernicious man would not be there.
Brabazon's colour is restricted to an effective contrast; he often skips a great many notes, touching the extremes of the octave with certainty and with grace. But it is right that we should make a little fuss over Mr.
But he feared there was no hope of such a chance coming Miss Brabazon's way. Varick's heart his big, sensitive heart was buried in the grave of his wife.... How strange to think that "poor Milly" for so had even her doctor come to call her in his own mind had been born and brought up in this delightful old house!
Then she told him, as nearly as she could, all that had passed between them, including the expression of his desire that she should not waltz, and his subsequent permission given at Lady Brabazon's. "Pish!" he ejaculated. "I hate these attempted restrictions. It is like a woman telling her husband not to smoke.
She was now sitting between the millionaire, James Tapster, and her own friend, Bill Donnington. When she had heard that she had been placed next Donnington, Bubbles had pouted. "I'd rather have had Sir Lyon," she exclaimed, "or even the old 'un!" for so she irreverently designated Helen Brabazon's uncle, Mr. Burnaby. But Blanche Farrow had been firm.
