"He is my husband, Carrol," she went on rapidly. "I knew you didn't understand it. I ought to have written you about it. I thought I would come and tell you before you did anything absurd. We were married as soon as he heard that his wife was dead." "What is the use of this?" he muttered hoarsely. "She is not dead. I heard from her a week ago. She was living a week ago."
Carrol, with that keen yet wistful gaze, and an anxious accent in her voice that went to Christie's heart. "Miss Tudor is very kind to think so well of me and my few accomplishments. I have never been with an invalid, but I think I can promise to be patient, willing, and cheerful. My own experience of illness has taught me how to sympathize with others and love to lighten pain.
I have said 'No' to Carrol a dozen times, and he won't stay 'noed. Mr. Smith will be sure to ask for a personal interview." Eleanor answered drearily: "I suppose he will pay me that respect;" but through this little effort at assertion it was easy to detect the white feather of mistrust. She half suspected the touchy self-esteem of Mr. Smith.
With difficulty Clark twisted his tall body round and bent a distorted glance on the window. "Tain't mawnin', Sally Carrol." "Isn't it, sure enough?" "What you doin'?" "Eatin' 'n apple." "Come on go swimmin' want to?" "Reckon so." "How 'bout hurryin' up?" "Sure enough."
"Oh, Carrol!" stammered Charlie. "It was some mistake then. Is it possible! And he was so sure! But he can get a divorce, you know. She abandoned him. Or she can get one. No, he can get it of course, when she abandoned him. But, Carrol, she must be dead he was so sure." "She is not dead, I tell you. And there can be no divorce. Insanity bars all claim to a divorce. She is in an asylum.
Yes, I do know; for, night after night, I find and bring the poor lad home from gambling-tables and the hells where souls like his are lost." Here Christie thought to slip away, feeling that it was no place for her now that her errand was done. But Mrs. Carrol called her back. "Miss Devon Christie forgive me that I did not trust you sooner.
My authority for saying Taylor went in with you, "joined with his troop" was the word passed to me and repeated to Captain Dimmick that Taylor was about to charge with you. I could not see his troop. I have not put it in my diary, but in another place I have noted that Colonel Carrol, who was acting as brigade commander, told me to ask you if you had any orders.
He afterwards settled, with Messrs Maynard, Carrol, and Wire, the toasts and the grace before dinner, and proceeded with these gentlemen to the Lord Mayor to submit them for his approval. This having been obtained, he went to the Merchant Taylors' Hall to see that the arrangement of the tables was satisfactory.
It was at one of these houses that he became acquainted with Carrick, and the likeness of their tempers creating a great intimacy, after a short knowledge of one another they joined with Carrol, a fellow as wicked as themselves, but much more cruel, and were all concerned in that robbery for which Carrick and Molony died.
William Smith! If it had been Alexander Smith " "Or Hyacinth Smith." "Yes, Hyacinth Smith would have done; but plain William Smith!" "Well, as far as I can see, you are not to blame. Apologize to the lady for the blunder of your godfathers and godmothers. Stupid old parties! They ought to have thought of Hyacinth;" and Carrol threw his cigar into the fire and began to buckle on his spurs.
