"And I have your admission that the letter was upon you at the time," roared the spy, interrupting him "your admission in the presence of that lady, as she can be made to witness." Mistress Winthrop rose. "'Tis a lie," she said firmly. "I can not be made to witness." Mr. Caryll smiled, and nodded across to her. "'Tis vastly kind in you, Mistress Winthrop. But the gentleman is mistook."
Mr. Caryll inquired. "Ah, but let that pass. I do not rally, madam. Mockery is far indeed from my intention." He turned again to Rotherby. "Lord Ostermore was a father to you, which he never was to me knew not that he was. The sentiments you so beautifully expressed to Mr. Templeton are the sentiments that actuate me now, though I shall make no attempt to express them.
A knock fell upon the door, and Sir Richard's man entered. His face was white, his eyes startled. "Sir Richard," he announced, his voice lowered portentously, "there are some men here who insist upon seeing you." Mr. Caryll wheeled in his chair. "Surely they did not ask for him by name?" he inquired in the same low key employed by the valet. The man nodded in silence. Mr.
"I am to counsel the Bishop to stay his hand against a more favorable opportunity. There is no reason why you should not do the very opposite with Ostermore." Mr. Caryll knit his brows, his eyes intent upon the other's face; but he said no word. "It is," urged Everard, "an opportunity such as there may never be another. We destroy Ostermore. By a turn of the hand we bring him to the gallows."
Mr. Caryll interposed. "The knave is right," said he. "It were to implicate your lordship. It were to give color to his silly suspicions. Let him make his search. But be so good as to summon my valet. He shall hand you my garments that you may do your will upon them.
Caryll agreed quietly. "It ends not thus." He looked sadly from son to mother. "It had not even begun thus, but that you would have it so. You would have it. I sought to move you to mercy. I reminded you, my brother, of the tie that bound us, and I would have turned you from fratricide, I would have saved you from the crime you meditated for it was a crime."
Caryll saw, and registered, for future use, the reflection that eyes that are overshrewd are seldom wont to look out of honest heads. "You are desired," his lordship informed him, "to be witness to a marriage." "So much the landlady had made known to me." "It is not, I trust, a task that will occasion you any scruples." "None. On the contrary, it is the absence of the marriage might do that."
Old Ding-dong was going into action, and had brushed his hair first as was his invariable custom. "Morn, Mr. Caryll," said the old man, never taking his eyes off his topsails. "I was just going to send for you. You'll be my orderly midshipman. We're in for a little bit o business. See them two?" He jerked his head across the water.
At sight of Mr. Caryll, the viscount's scowl grew blacker. "Oons and the devil!" he cried. "What make you here?" "That," said Mr. Caryll pleasantly, "is the very question your father is asking her ladyship concerning yourself. Your servant, sir." And airy, graceful, smiling that damnable close smile of his, he was gone, leaving Rotherby very hot and angry. Outside Mr.
"Your wife's too ugly to be looked at." And Mr. Sidney's fresh protest was drowned in the roar of laughter that went up to applaud that brutal frankness. Mr. Caryll turned to the fop, who happened to be standing at his elbow. "Never repine, man," said he. "In the company you keep, such a wife makes for peace of mind. To have that is to have much."
