Cromwell returned to his investigation, and interspersed his questionings with much bitterness of remark the more so as he feared his chain of evidence was in some degree incomplete, although no moral doubt could remain on the mind of any person as to the Master of Burrell's guilt.
"Forbear, sir!" ejaculated Constance; "if you have the spirit of a man, forbear!" "Oh, then, your passion has not been declared by words you have spoken by actions!" he retorted with redoubled acrimony. The reply to this gross insult was made by the point of De Guerre's sword resting on Burrell's breast.
In a short time she said: "Mother, your tea is waiting; and I have a letter from Mrs. Burrell, if you care anything about it." "Aw, my girl, I care little for Mrs. Burrell's letters to-night. She be well and happy, no doubt; and my old dear is in the wind's teeth and pulling hard against a frosty death." "Father knows the sky and the sea, and I think it is cruel hard of him to take such risks."
The dreams, it is true, were mostly concerned with the events of the afternoon, and Mollie Burrell's intent and kindly scrutiny; but it was like the old times when she had thought her own thoughts with her hand clasped in that of the dear old dad, and the touch of the sheet on which his fingers had rested brought back the old feeling of strength and security.
"Well, be it so," replied Frances Cromwell: "I did not care; but methinks I should have liked the garniture of a crown and the grasp of a sceptre. You should have been my first maid of honour. But your pardon, lady fair you will be the first married, if I can judge from Sir Willmott Burrell's earnestness of late."
I could sit and gravely cast up sums in great books, or compare sum with sum, and write "paid" against this, and "unpaid" against t'other, and yet reserve in some corner of my mind "some darling thoughts all my own," faint memory of some passage in a book, or the tone of an absent friend's voice a snatch of Miss Burrell's singing, or a gleam of Fanny Kelly's divine plain face.
She was happy to think that Roland was at the Black Lion with all his possessions; for she knew how the gossip on this occurrence would annoy all the proprieties in Mrs. Burrell's social code. Her anger served Roland's purpose quite as much as her love. After the third letter she wrote a reply.
In his steeple-crowned hat was stuck a peacock's feather; and any passenger would have been puzzled to ascertain whether the motley deformed being was a wit or a fool. "Now" thus ran his thoughts "Now do I defy any of the serving-men at Whitehall to recognise their play-fellow, Sir Willmott Burrell's valet, in the gipsy-looking rascal into which I have, of myself, manufactured myself!
"Are thethe what you want, Mith Elting?" she asked. "Yes; bring them here. She is breathing. Faster, Jane, faster!" "Don't pull her armth out by the roootth," warned Tommy. The guardian made no reply. It was a critical moment and Harriet Burrell's life hung on a very slender thread. Return to consciousness was so slow as to seem like no recovery at all.
He was unpoetically rich he even trafficked in money. The rector was a very young man; Burrell was thirty-eight years old. The rector wrote poetry, and understood Browning, and recited from Arnold and Morris. Burrell's tastes were for social science and statistics. He was thoughtful, intelligent, well-bred, and reticent; small in figure, with a large head and very fine eyes.
