Detail by detail he reviewed their acquaintance from the first time he had bowed over her fingers, in Lord Carlton's hunting-lodge, to the moment he had touched his lips to the same fingers in formal farewell on the terrace at Hascombe Hall. It had been such a well-bred courtship from the start, so thoroughly approved by both sides, so perfectly conducted throughout!
"Well," he remonstrated, mirthlessly, "I don't think you've treated ME very well." "How, not treated you very well?" Miss Morris asked, settling herself more easily. She had been sitting during the pause which followed Carlton's discovery with a certain rigidity, as if she was on a strain of attention. But her tone was now as friendly as always, and held its customary suggestion of amusement.
So Percy, who is not without his spirit of ragging, told several whoppers, which he later confessed came from the Society of Psychical Research records. And I huskily recounted Uncle Carlton's story of the neurasthenic lady patient who went into a doctor's office and there beheld a skull standing on his polished rosewood desk.
"I have; and the prettiest animal your eyes ever looked upon." "Fleet as an arrow?" "Ay; as the very wind. But you shall have a taste of his quality. So come along. Time passes." The two men left the tavern, and went to the stable where Carlton's new horse was kept. The animal was soon in harness.
Underneath this most excellent reason there also existed on Mr. Carlton's part a desire to show his former partner that he cherished no ill will for the past. Who knew but the boy might even be a messenger of peace? So one June morning, after bidding good-bye to Colversham and to Tim McGrew, the two lads set forth on their western journey. They were in high spirits.
He manifested evident symptoms of a mind earnestly intent on the discovery and pursuit of moral and religious truth; and from the natural ardor of his character, and the sincerity of his remorse, his attainments seemed likely to be rapid and considerable. The sweet benignity of Mrs. Carlton's countenance was lighted up at our entrance with a smile of satisfaction.
They had by this time strolled as far as Carlton's lodgings, where the books happened to be on which Charles was at that time more immediately employed; and they took two or three turns under some fine beeches which stood in front of the house before entering it.
He was anxious to know several things which I was glad to be in a position to tell him. Yes an awfully good sort. I asked him to dine at my club one day, to go on with our conversation. 'Oh, did you? 'Yes. Why shouldn't I? However, it seems from what he said that he thinks the Carlton's nicer for a talk, so I'm going to ask him there instead. You can come too, dear.
You will die at sunrise to-morrow morning, and have but a few hours to live. This you might have ascertained from the sergeant of the guard without sending for me," said Arthur, turning to leave the tent. "Stay!" resumed the prisoner, observing Carlton's intention, "I have that to say which nearly concerns yourself and companions.
I strove to borrow or hire for any given time, but every proposal was peremptorily declined, and as it is impossible to leave here, I came over to entreat you to remain with my sister, at least for a few days, till we can determine what is advisable to do." His proposal was accepted, and the ensuing day saw them inmates of Mrs. Carlton's.
