She meant to get rid of the thraldom to which he had subjected her when desiring her not to waltz, and had done so in part when she obtained his direct sanction at Lady Brabazon's.
The first evening that my guests were here she held what I believe they call a séance, and as a result Miss Brabazon's uncle, old Burnaby, not only bolted from the room, but left Wyndfell Hall the next morning." "What an extraordinary thing!" "Yes," said Varick, "it was an extraordinary thing. I confess I can't explain Bubbles' gift at all.
The train came up along the platform, and Harry stood there expecting to see Julia Brabazon's head projected from the first window that caught his eye. It was of Julia Brabazon's head, and not of Lady Ongar's, that he was thinking.
I don't quite know why, but I formed the impression that it was her friend who was well-to-do didn't you?" "I never thought about it," said Varick indifferently. "By the way, Miss Brabazon's old aunt, a certain Miss Burnaby, is here too. It's rather a quiet party, Panton; I hope you won't be bored." "I'm never bored. Who else have you got staying with you?"
Up to now Miss Helen's own idea of heaven seems to have been Strathpeffer." "How very strange!" But Blanche Farrow was not thinking of Helen Brabazon's possible idea of heaven as she uttered the three words. Bubbles chuckled. "I touched the old gentleman up a bit yesterday, didn't I, Blanche?" This gave her aunt the opportunity for which she was seeking. "You did!
I should advise you, Bubbles, to follow Miss Brabazon's example go up and have a good rest, before getting ready for dinner." Bubbles turned away. She walked very slowly, with dragging steps, to the door; and a moment later Miss Burnaby also left the room. Varick walked over towards the fireplace. He held out his hands to the flames he felt cold, shiveringly cold.
And, perhaps, the best news of all comes from Arundel, near Colesberg, where Generals French and Brabazon with the cavalry column for it is nearly all mounted are gradually sidling and coaxing the Boers back out of the Colony. They are a powerful combination: French's distinguished military talents, and Brabazon's long and deep experience of war. Perhaps the tide of war has really begun to turn.
Seymour must start off at once, taking the night train to Paris; and the moment he gets there, he must interview the curate or Mrs. Brabazon. Mrs. Brabazon's the best. She has none of this stupid, sentimental nonsense about Uncle Aubrey." It is no part of a secretary's duties to act as a diamond broker.
During the last few days Sir Lyon had become convinced that Lionel Varick had resolved in his powerful, unscrupulous mind to make Helen Brabazon his wife. It was in vain that he argued with himself that the question of Miss Brabazon's future concerned him not at all. He found himself again and again, when watching those two, giving a great deal of uneasy thought to the matter.
They had agreed that they would do little more than shew themselves there. He was obliged to go to this special place and he hated staying. But even at Lady Brabazon's she might find an opportunity of saying what she wished to say. On that day she took him out in her brougham, and on her return home was alone all the afternoon till about five; and then who should come to her but Captain De Baron.
