On that special afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Cardew happened to be alone. The girls had gone down to the rectory. This was not Mrs. Cardew's At Home day, and she therefore did not expect any visitors. She was a little tired after her long drive to Warwick, and was glad when her husband suggested that they should go out and have tea all alone together under one of the wide-spreading elm-trees. Mrs.
Cardew's face an inspiration seized her. "He is troubled about something," thought the girl. "It's the thin end of the wedge; I'll push it in a little farther." Her voice dropped to a low tone.
You're a slave in one of old Cardew's mills, aren't you? Well, aren't you grateful to him? Here he goes and sends his granddaughter " Willy Cameron had entered the room with a platter of doughnuts in his hand, and stood watching, his face going pale. Quite suddenly there was a crash, and the gang leader went down in a welter of porcelain and fried pastry.
Miss Arden" Miss Arden was sitting nearest to Mr. Cardew "cannot you say?" Miss Arden shook her ringlets, smiled, and turned a little red, as if she had been complimented by Mr. Cardew's inquiries after the body of death, and, glancing at her paper, replied "The death of this body." "Pardon me, that was one of the interpretations rejected." "This body of death," said Catharine. "Quite so." Mr.
"You would think," said I, "that they were lighting fires over there against Captain Cardew's return." Maureen rose from her place and peered curiously in the direction of my gaze. "I wonder he doesn't be selling it," she said, "and not be letting it go to rack and ruin and him never comin' home.
"Oh, they're first-rate, and not really dull at all; and the whole place is lovely, and all the people I met to-day were so nice, except, indeed, that Lady Lysle." "Lady Lysle!" exclaimed Molly in a tone of astonishment. "Why, she is Mrs. Cardew's greatest friend. Do you mean to say you were introduced to her?" "Yes, Mrs. Cardew was kind enough to do so, though I am sure I didn't want it at all."
As we went along at a speed which made the familiar roads oddly strange, all the landmarks being slurred by the speed, I looked from one side of the road to the other. My mind was full of Anthony Cardew's messenger, the one he was so sure would break the web of lies in pieces. I said to myself that of course he could not come in time and that if he could come it would be useless.
Beyond the pavements were cobble-stoned streets. Anthony Cardew was the first man in the city to have a rubber-tired carriage. The story of Anthony Cardew's new home is the story of Elinor's tragedy. Nor did it stop there. It carried on to the third generation, to Lily Cardew, and in the end it involved the city itself. Because of the ruin of one small home all homes were threatened.
Imagine, then, my joy and surprise when I saw for the second time Anthony Cardew's face. At first I could hardly believe it; and he, on his part, looked equally amazed, and very pleasurably so, I must say. "Why, where have you dropped from, Miss Bawn?" he asked.
If you could only talk to her about the anxiety she is causing. These Doyles, or rather Mr. Doyle the wife is Mr. Cardew's sister are putting all sorts of ideas into her head. And she has met a man there, a Mr. Akers, and I'm afraid she thinks she is in love with him, Mr. Cameron." He met her eyes gravely. "Have you tried not forbidding her to go to the Doyles?" "I have forbidden her nothing.
