Lady Brabazon, whose sister had married a Germain, was there, and a Colonel Ansley, who was a nephew of Lady Brotherton's; so that the party was very much a Germain party. All these people had been a good deal exercised of late on the great Popenjoy question.
My wits must have remained some time aloft for a last inspection of the spot where ended our aerial flight. Certainly they did not wholly return until I found myself sitting beside Hawkins in Brotherton's carriage. We were just driving past a pile of red scrap-metal that had once been the auto, and the wondering crowd was parting to let us through.
Men, and women too, ought to look after their own interests. It is the only way in which progress can be made in the world. Of course you are not to covet what belongs to others. You will make yourself very unhappy if you do. If Lord Brotherton's marriage were all fair and above board, nobody would say a word; but, as it has not been so, it will be our duty to find out the truth.
Still he went on with his determined purpose. "These are the kind of things which are being repeated of you," he said at last. "Susanna made the same complaint. And it had reached Brotherton's ears. He spoke to me of it in frightfully strong language. And now this young lady tells me that you are destroying her happiness." "Well!" "You can't suppose that I can hear all this without uneasiness."
'Of course but you are too hasty. Those facts are of more importance than you are aware involve other facts. Moldwarp Hall is your property, and not Sir Giles Brotherton's. 'Then the apple was my own, after all! I said to myself exultingly.
Brotherton's origin had been so humble, but that it rendered him more proud than he had ever before been of the House of Commons, to think that a person risen from that condition should be able to sit side by side, on equal terms, with the hereditary gentry of the land. The late Mr.
George has been true to you all his life, and Mary has done nothing. It is all Brotherton's fault. When did he ever behave well? If we are to be miserable, let us at any rate tell the truth about it." Then the Marchioness was put to bed and remained there for two days. At last the Dean heard of it, first through Lady Alice, and then directly from Lady Sarah, who took the news to the deanery.
I have too good reason to fear that she attributed to another the would-be gift; I believe that, from Brotherton's buying her, they thought he had sent her a present certainly far more befitting his means than mine. But I came to care very little about it, for my correspondence with her through Charley, went on.
Twenty feet to the rear loomed the black muzzle of Enos Jackson's trotter, with Jackson in his little road-cart. Behind him, three bicyclists filled up the gap between the road-cart and Dr. Brotherton's buggy. I felt a little better at seeing Brotherton there. He set my hired man's leg two years ago, and made a splendid job.
Apart from any medical bearing, it struck me that that remark indicated good, sound sense on Brotherton's part. There are some men to whom experience never teaches anything. Hawkins is one of them; I am another. As concerns Hawkins, I feel pretty sure that some obscure mental aberration lies at the seat of his trouble; for my own part, I am inclined to blame my confiding, unsuspicious nature.
