There is so much mystery in all this that my Lord Carteret desires more knowledge on the subject. I think you are the gentleman I am looking for." Mr. Caryll looked him over with an amused eye, and laughed. "It distresses me," said he, "to see so much good thought wasted." Mr. Green was abashed a moment. But he recovered quickly; no doubt he had met the cool type before. "Come, come!" said he.
You are receiving letters daily. Do they concern the business of King James?" "In a measure; or, rather, they are from one concerned in it." Ostermore's eyes were on the ground again. There fell a pause, Mr. Caryll frowning slightly and full of curiosity as to what might be coming. "How soon, think you," asked his lordship presently, "you will be in case to travel?"
Her ladyship nodded in silence. Hortensia cried out, and sank to a chair as if beaten down by the news, whilst the old servant, answered, too, withdrew, wringing his hands and making foolish laments; and the tears of those were the only tears that watered the grave of John Caryll, fifth Earl of Ostermore. As for Mr. Caryll, the shock of that announcement seemed to cast a spell upon him.
He held out his hands, and Justin took them affectionately and pressed them in his own. "You'll put these weak notions from your mind, Justin, and prove worthy the noble lady who was your mother?" Mr. Caryll moved aside again, hanging his head, his face pale and troubled. Where Everard's arguments must fail, his own affection for Everard was like to conquer him.
"O God!" groaned Ostermore, and sat down heavily. Mr. Caryll helped himself copiously to snuff. "I think," said he, his voice so cool that it had an almost soothing influence, "I think your lordship has now another reason why you should go no further in this matter." "But if I do not what other hopes have I? Damn me! I'm a ruined man either way." "Nay, nay," Mr. Caryll reminded him.
"'But there! he says. 'He lived like an English gentleman; and he died like a British seaman. May I go that way when my time comes. And he sweeps off his cocked hat as though it might ha been to the King, and "'God bless Kit Caryll, says he." The old man blew his nose in the darkness. "Yes, sir," he continued, "that was your father and my friend," and then suddenly gruff
He turned away, hanging his head, full conscious, and with no little bitterness, of how great had been his folly. "Salvation may lie for you in the same source that has brought you to the present pass this man Caryll," said the countess presently. "I suspect him more than ever of being a Jacobite agent." "I know him to be such." "You know it?" "All but; and Green is assured of it, too."
Caryll, it behooved them to ascertain precisely to what extent Lord Ostermore might not be incriminated, as otherwise the arrest of Caryll might lead to exposures that would ruin the earl more thoroughly than could any South Sea bubble revelations. Thus her ladyship to her son. He turned upon her.
Write him down as Caryll Justin Caryll 'tis the name he's known by; and let Green see to the rest." Mr. Templeton made an impatient sound, and poised his pen. "Ye are not to suppose, sir," Mr. Caryll stayed him, "that I cannot support my statements. I have by me proofs irrefragable proofs of what I say." "Proofs?" The word seemed to come from, every member of that little assembly if we except Mr.
Ger was rather spoilt, but then of course he was the baby. She got up as she spoke. 'Now don't be late any of you this morning, she said. 'A quarter past ten punctually. And Hec and Ger, take care that you are warmly wrapped up, for you know you are going to dine at Caryll, and very likely auntie will send you home in the pony-cart, which will be colder than walking.
