Go to that address, and inquire for Miss Silvester. Be quick about it and you will have time to get back before the last train. Have Mr. and Mrs. Brinkworth returned from their drive?" "No, Sir Patrick." Pending the return of Arnold and Blanche, Sir Patrick looked at Mr. Crum's letter for the second time.
Do you know that you have been looking anxious and out of spirits for some time past? Perhaps you don't like Mr. Brinkworth? No? you do like him? Is it my marrying, then? I believe it is! You fancy we shall be parted, you goose? As if I could do without you! Of course, when I am married to Arnold, you will come and live with us. That's quite understood between us isn't it?"
There was a light in her eyes, there was a ring in her voice, which showed that she was roused at last. Mrs. Glenarm answered her, this time. "He did tell me." "He lied!" "He did not! He knew. I believe him. I don't believe you." "If he told you that I was any thing but a single woman if he told you that Arnold Brinkworth was married to any body but Miss Lundie of Windygates I say again he lied!"
Brinkworth met nowhere since they were together at the Scotch inn?" "Nowhere." "As to the future, of course I can't say. As to the past, there is no hope of your getting divorced from her." "Thank you. Good-night." "Good-night, Mr. Delamayn." Fastened to her for life and the law powerless to cut the knot. He pondered over that result until he had thoroughly realized it and fixed it in his mind.
"I think you said, Lady Lundie, that Sir Patrick had been called to Edinburgh by family business?" "Business, Mrs. Delamayn, which is any thing but agreeable to me, as one member of the family. It has altered all my arrangements for the autumn. My step-daughter is to be married next week." "Is it so near as that? May I ask who the gentleman is?" "Mr. Arnold Brinkworth."
If she was known at the inn by any name at all, it was by the name of Mrs. Silvester. A letter addressed to "Mrs. Arnold Brinkworth" would probably not be taken in at the door; or if it was admitted and if it was actually offered to her, she might decline to receive it, as a letter not addressed to herself.
The time of the afternoon was about the time when Geoffrey Delamayn had started in the train, on his journey to London. About the time also, when Arnold Brinkworth had crossed the moor, and was mounting the first rising ground which led to the inn. Mistress Inchbare was tall and thin, and decent and dry. Mistress Inchbare's unlovable hair clung fast round her head in wiry little yellow curls.
"A young lady who has been properly brought up has no bad passions." There was a sudden cry from the players on the lawn a cry for "Mr. Brinkworth." Blanche tried to push him out. Arnold was immovable. "Say something to encourage me before I go," he pleaded. "One word will do. Say, Yes." Blanche shook her head. Now she had got him, the temptation to tease him was irresistible.
Arnold Brinkworth?" and how to make sure of her receiving the letter? The dumb old woman got in his way again. He closed his eyes impatiently, and tried to shut her out in a darkness of his own making. The woman showed herself through the darkness. He saw her, as if he had just asked her a question, writing on her slate. What she wrote he failed to make out. It was all over in an instant.
Having once more vindicated "the hottle," she made the long-desired move to the door, and left the room. "I'm faint!" Anne whispered. "Give me some water." There was no water on the table. Arnold ordered it of Mr. "Mr. Brinkworth!" said Anne, when they were alone, "you are acting with inexcusable rashness. That woman's question was an impertinence. Why did you answer it? Why did you force me ?"
