"I request Mr. Moy's permission to revert to the alleged marriage, on the fourteenth of August, at Craig Fernie," he said. "Arnold Brinkworth! answer for yourself, in the presence of the persons here assembled.
Were the strangers coming in? The landlady had declined to let her have the rooms: it was quite possible that the strangers might be coming to look at them. There was no knowing who they might be. In the impulse of the moment she flew to the bedchamber and locked herself in. The door from the passage opened, and Arnold Brinkworth shown in by Mr. Bishopriggs entered the sitting-room.
"Do you see what I am coming to?" "Hardly yet." "You referred, when we first met in this room, to a letter which you recovered from Bishopriggs, at Perth. I have ascertained from Arnold Brinkworth that the sheet of note-paper stolen from you contained two letters. One was written by you to Delamayn the other was written by Delamayn to you. The substance of this last Arnold remembered.
In other words, Blanche has a prospect of being married. And what is more, Arnold Brinkworth is ready to marry her as soon as the settlements can be prepared." Lady Lundie started in her chair turned crimson with rage and opened her lips to speak. Sir Patrick rose to his feet, and went on before she could utter a word.
I am always alone now; and I get into a habit of brooding over things. I have been brooding over the position in which my misfortunes have placed Mr. Brinkworth. I have been obstinate unreasonably obstinate in believing that I could prevail with Geoffrey Delamayn, after I had failed with Mrs. Glenarm. I am obstinate about it still.
Brinkworth, who has served in the merchant navy, what sort of specimen of the moral influence of out-of-door life and muscular cultivation he is." "In nine cases out of ten," said Arnold, "he is as idle and vicious as ruffian as walks the earth." Another cry from the Opposition: "Are we agricultural laborers? Are we sailors in the merchant service?"
Brinkworth and Captain Crawford turned up at the same place for the same purpose the day before yesterday. It can't be very pleasant for them, I should imagine, for I believe the two ladies are not very friendly." "Naturally not," said Cleek, half abstractedly. "The one loathing the man, the other loving him. I want to see those two ladies; and I particularly want to see those two men.
Thanks to a sacrifice to your interests and your happiness, on Miss Silvester's part which I tell you frankly I have done my utmost to prevent I am in a position to prove positively that Arnold Brinkworth was a single man when he married you from my house in Kent." Mr. Moy's experience forewarned him of what was coming. He pointed to the letter in Sir Patrick's hand.
Blanche trembled from head to foot, and made no reply. "I am going into the garden, to speak to Mr. Brinkworth through the smoking-room window," pursued her ladyship. "Have you the courage to come with me; to wait behind out of sight; and to hear what he says with his own lips? I am not afraid of putting it to that test. Are you?" The tone in which she asked the question roused Blanche's spirit.
With this motive to animate her, she resolutely declined to take the offered chair, or to enter into the proposed conversation. "Whatever we have to say about Blanche, Mr. Brinkworth, must be said at some fitter time. I beg you will leave me." "Leave you!" "Yes. Leave me to the solitude that is best for me, and to the sorrow that I have deserved. Thank you and good-by."
