There will be a meeting of the Forward Club next week, and we shall decide on our line of action." "Broadstone will never throw him over." Lankester threw another glance at Marsham. "You'll only waste your breath." Lord Broadstone was the veteran leader of the party, who in the event of victory at the polls would undoubtedly be Prime Minister.
We were allotted an office in the Railway Clearing House; my assistants gave their whole time to the work, and I gravitated between Broadstone and Kildare Street, for of course I had to look after the Midland Great Western as well as the Commission business. That I could not, like Sir Boyle Roche's bird, be in two places at once, was my greatest disappointment.
'He is going to say something about dancing being a healthful recreation for young people, said Charles. 'You'll be disappointed, said Philip. 'It is much too hot to moralize. 'Apollo unbends his bow, exclaimed Charles. 'The captain yields the field. 'Ah! Captain Morville, I ought to have congratulated you, said Guy. 'I must come to Broadstone early enough to see you on parade.
The weeks went by; all the preparations were made; and at last the time came when the company were to assemble at the toll-gate and Broadstone before the final plunge into the unknown. Olive wished to have them all to dinner on the first day of this short visit. "Our house is a little one," she said to Mrs. Easterfield, "but we can make it big enough.
As Dick started away from Broadstone on his walk to the toll-gate he heard quick steps behind him and was soon overtaken by Claude Locker. "Hello," said that young man, "if you are on your way home I am going to walk a while with you. I have not done a thing to-day." When Dick heard these words his heart sank.
The afternoon was an exceptionally fine one, but the party at Broadstone did not take advantage of it; there seemed to be a spirit of unrest pervading the premises, and when the carriage started on a drive along the river only Mr. and Mrs. Fox were in it. Mrs. Easterfield would not leave Olive and Mr. Hemphill, and she did not encourage them to go.
I want to send a message by him." The letter which was speedily on its way to Mr. Richard Lancaster was a very brief one. It simply asked the young gentleman to come to Broadstone, with bad news or good news, or without any news at all. It was absolutely necessary that the writer should see him, and in order that there might be no delay she sent a conveyance for him.
And he thought, with a grim satisfaction, of the note he had just confided to the Premier's second messenger refusing the offer of the Attorney-Generalship. He was sorry for Broadstone; he had done his best to comfort him; but he would serve in no Government with John's supplanters. Meanwhile Marsham was speeding up to town.
Yet she was far from happy. Her reserve towards Guy made her feel stiff and guarded; she had a craving for Philip's presence, with a dread of showing it, which made her uncomfortable. She wondered he had not been at Hollywell since the bail, for he must know that she was going to Ireland in a fortnight, and was not likely to return till his regiment had left Broadstone.
'Nay; I think there is something striking in it, said Guy then, with a sudden transition, 'but is not this ball famous? And their talk was of balls and reviews till nine o'clock, when they were summoned to tea. On the whole, Philip returned to Broadstone by no means comforted. Never had he known so much difficulty in attending with patience to his duties as in the course of the next fortnight.
