"Complimentary love-epistle!" he remarked, and rising from his chair and striding about, muttered, "The dog! how infamously he treats his wife!" "Very bad," said Brayder. "How did you get hold of this?" "Strolled into Belle's dressing-room, waiting for her turned over her pincushion hap-hazard. You know her trick." "By Jove! I think that girl does it on purpose.
Nobleman and parasite exchanged looks. "How d'ye mean?" Brayder hummed an air, and broke it to say, "He's in for Don Juan at a gallop, that's all." "The deuce! Has Bella got him?" Mountfalcon asked with eagerness. Brayder handed my lord a letter. It was dated from the Sussex coast, signed "Richard," and was worded thus: "My beautiful Devil!
Richard! my word of honour, they have planned to carry her off, if Mount finds he cannot seduce her. Talk of devils! He's one; but he is not so bad as Brayder. I cannot forgive a mean dog his villany. "Now after this, I am quite sure you are too much of a man to stop away from her another moment. I have no more to say. I suppose we shall not see each other again, so good-bye, Dick!
Then I saw it was all up between us. Brayder came and began to chaff about you. I dealt the animal a stroke on the face with my riding-whip I shut him up pretty quick. Do you think I would let a man speak about you? I was going to swear. You see I remember Dick's lessons. O my God! I do feel unhappy. Brayder offered me money. Go and think I took it, if you like. What do I care what anybody thinks!
I don't see anything I gain by this confounded letter. Her husband's a brute that's clear." "Will you leave it to me, Mount?" "Be damned before I do!" muttered my lord. "Thank you. Now see how this will end: You're too soft, Mount. You'll be made a fool of." "I tell you, Brayder, there's nothing to be done. If I carry her off I've been on the point of doing it every day what'll come of that?
He's not easily hoodwinked, you know. He resigns himself to his fate and follows other game." "Then the condition is, that I am to seduce this young man?" "My dear Bella! you strike your bird like a hawk. I didn't say seduce. Hold him in play with him. Amuse him." "I don't understand half-measures." "Women seldom do." "How I hate you, Brayder!" "I thank your ladyship." The two walked farther.
Now I am proud to confess that I'm hardly equal to the task. The demi, or damnedmonde if it's that lie wants him to observe is one that I leave not got the walk to." "Ha! ha!" laughed Brayder. "You do the keeping, I offer to parade the demi. I must say, though, it's a queer notion of the old gentleman." "It's the continuation of a philosophic plan," said Adrian.
Isn't it enough to make a fellow mad? and there am I lecturing like a prig, and by heaven! while I'm at it I feel a pleasure in it; and when I leave the house I should feel an immense gratification in shooting somebody. What do they say in town?" "Not much," said Brayder, significantly. "When's that fellow her husband coming down?" "I rather hope we've settled him for life, Mount."
Brayder returned the nod, and those who promenaded the district soon beheld his body in elegant motion to the stepping of his well-earned horse. "What do you want to see Lord Mountfalcon for, Richard?" said Ripton. "I just want to see him," Richard replied. Ripton was left in the cab at the door of my lord's residence.
But I know the sort of fellow you are, and I must be plain with you. Did I ever say I loved you? You may hate me as much as you please, but I will save you from being a fool. "Now listen to me. You know my relations with Mount. That beast Brayder offered to pay all my debts and set me afloat, if I would keep you in town. I declare on my honour I had no idea why, and I did not agree to it.
