He concluded from it that Jenny Pendean, while aware that her greatest joys were gone forever, yet looked forward to a time when her present desolation might give place to a truer tranquility and content. The fact that this should be so, however, astonished Brendon. He judged her words were perhaps ill chosen and that she implied a swifter return to peace than in reality would occur.
"Let me see what's to be seen here, then," said Brendon, and they entered the kitchen of the bungalow together. Brendon followed Halfyard into the apartment destined to be the kitchen of Michael Pendean's bungalow, and the inspector lifted some tarpaulins that had been thrown upon a corner of the room.
He knew himself and he knew that this strange and novel emotion of love was, at least in his case, a deep, omnipotent thing, beyond and above any selfish and purely personal desire for happiness. Even Doria admitted that much probably, though whether, did the test arise, he would put the woman's prosperity before his own passion, Brendon took leave to doubt.
Jenny had nothing to say or suggest that could help Brendon and she was very nervous, desiring to leave the lonely habitation on the cliffs as quickly as possible; but she intended to await Albert Redmayne's decision. "This will greatly upset him, I fear," she said. "He is now the last of 'the red Redmaynes, as our family was called in Australia." "Why the adjective?"
By the by, Miss Colville won't be with us to-day. Miss Williams is motoring her home." "Yes; I saw them set off." Fay took care that Lizzie Colville sat at the back of the car that afternoon and not in front with Mr. Vicary. She stifled her objections when they turned off in the direction of Brendon. "I tell you Mr. Vicary has to go on an errand and so have I, so just shut up! Nan?
I told grandmother all about it, the whole story, and she says it is Agnes who is vulgar and not Miss Smith, and that she never would have brought me here if she had known that a girl who could behave like that was to be in the house; and you can tell Miss Agnes Brendon this, if you like, and you can tell her too that she'll only make us stand by Miss Smith stancher than ever by persecuting her as she does."
Mark Brendon, the young detective from Scotland Yard, of whom I entertained a high opinion; and also write to your husband. Direct Brendon to approach Peter Ganns and beg them both to come to me as quickly as their affairs allow. Also bid Giuseppe to return to you immediately. He will serve to protect us, for he is fearless and resolute." But Jenny showed no joy at this suggestion.
"Fear nothing," he said. "Trust me. Indeed there is no reason why you should do otherwise. No more of this for half a year. I bid you good night, master." He was gone and for a moment only the hurtle of the rain on the ground windows of the tower room broke the silence; then Brendon emerged from his hiding-place and stretched his limbs.
I know less about this affair perhaps than you suppose. What I do know I shall have no hesitation in telling anyone who has the right to ask." "Just so," the doctor remarked drily. "And if I were you I would keep away from the fire." Brendon reappeared, followed by a tall thin man with a stubbly brown moustache and restless grey eyes. The doctor nodded to him curtly.
I came to beg you instead to do me the honour of becoming my wife." "And I," Courtlaw said, "although I have asked before in vain, have come to ask you once more the same thing." "And I," Brendon said, humbly, "although I am afraid there is no chance for me, my errand was the same." Anna looked at them for a moment with a pitiful attempt at a smile.
