"When does the next train arrive? It is eleven o'clock now." "Between one and two." "Sir Patrick will not be back till then?" "Not till then." "Where is Mr. Brinkworth?" "My husband?" "Your husband if you like. Is he out, too?" "He is in the smoking-room." "Do you mean the long room, built out from the back of the house?" "Yes." "Come down stairs at once with me."
"This is a confirmation," she said. "Mr. Brinkworth has been found out the woman is married to him Geoffrey is free. Oh, my dear friend, what a load of anxiety you have taken off my mind! That vile wretch " Lady Lundie suddenly opened her eyes. "Do you mean," she asked, "the woman who is at the bottom of all the mischief?" "Yes. I saw her yesterday. She forced herself in at Swanhaven.
First discovery: In assuming the character of the lady's husband Mr. Brinkworth was acting under your directions which tells dead against you. Second discovery: Not the slightest impropriety of conduct, not an approach even to harmless familiarity, was detected by either of the witnesses, while the lady and gentleman were together at the inn.
Then I will teach you!" She turned, bright and rosy, to her step-mother. "I choose Mr. Arnold Brinkworth," she said. Here, again, there appeared to be something in a name unknown to celebrity, which nevertheless produced its effect not, this time, on Miss Silvester, but on Sir Patrick. He looked at Mr. Brinkworth with a sudden interest and curiosity.
"How will you manage it when you get there?" Not a word will escape my lips until I have first seen Blanche in private. However painful it may be, I shall not shrink from my duty, if my duty compels me to open her eyes to the truth. Sir Patrick and Mr. Brinkworth will have somebody else besides an inexperienced young creature to deal with on Monday next. I shall be there."
"Deeply interesting!" said her ladyship, descending from the carriage with ponderous grace, and addressing herself to Geoffrey, lounging under the portico of the house. "You have had a loss, Mr. Delamayn. The next time you go out for a walk, give your hostess a word of warning, and you won't repent it." Sir Patrick was invisible up stairs. Mr. Brinkworth had not come back.
"What's to be done now?" asked Arnold. In the face of the storm, Anne answered without hesitation, "You must take a carriage, and drive." "Drive? They told me it was three-and-twenty miles, by railway, from the station to my place let alone the distance from this inn to the station." "What does the distance matter? Mr. Brinkworth, you can't possibly stay here!"
"Hum-m-m!" muttered Cleek to himself, as this unattractive person passed by. "Not he not by his hand. He never struck the blow too cowardly, too careful. And yet Poor little woman! poor little woman!" And his sympathetic eyes went past the others past Mrs. Brinkworth, sobbing and wringing her hands and calling piteously on the dead to speak and dwelt long and tenderly upon Lady Stavornell.
Difficult to reconcile what Geoffrey told us, with Miss Silvester's manner and appearance. What next? You had something else to say, when I was so rude as to interrupt you. What was it?" "Only this," said Julius. "I don't find it easy to understand Sir Patrick Lundie's conduct in permitting Mr. Brinkworth to commit bigamy with his niece." "Wait a minute! The marriage of that horrible woman to Mr.
She heard him, and straggled to compose herself "No," she answered, "you comfort me. Don't mind my crying I'm the better for it." She looked round at him gratefully. "I won't distress you, Mr. Brinkworth. I ought to thank you and I do. Come back or I shall think you are angry with me." Arnold went back to her. She gave him her hand once more.
