He checked himself: he scarce dared to say it. She nodded. 'You have seen the man, Chloe? Her smiling broke up in the hard lines of an ecstasy neighbouring pain. 'He has come; he is here; he is faithful; he has not forgotten me. I was right. I knew! I knew! 'Caseldy has come? 'He has come. Do not ask. To have him! to see him! Mr. Beamish, he is here. 'At last! 'Cruel!
The beau took high ground in his objections to the adventure. Nevertheless, Duchess Susan did go. She drove to the heath at an early hour of the morning, attended by Chloe, Colonel Poltermore, and Caseldy. They subsequently breakfasted at an inn where gipsy repasts were occasionally served to the fashion, and they were back at the wells as soon as the world was abroad.
'And you, Count Caseldy, are to have it all your own way with good luck, after committing a deed of slaughter, with the solitary penalty of undergoing a visit every night from the corpse. 'Ghost, Caseldy smilingly corrected him. 'And Chloe would not have her fortune told, because she knew it! Mr. Beamish cast a paternal glance at her.
Hitherto I have seen no actual need of it, and I watch keenly. Her eye has been on Colonel Poltermore once or twice his on her. The woman is a rose in June, sir, and I forgive the whole world for looking and for longing too. But I have observed nothing serious. 'He is of our party to the beacon-head to-morrow, said Caseldy.

The brilliancy of her eyes confirmed it. He glanced over at Duchess Susan, who was like a sunflower in the sun. His glance lingered a moment.
Caseldy seized the opportunity while handing her into her sedan to say, 'We will try the fortune-teller for a lucky day to have our revenge.

And there's Mr. Beamish, all top when he bows to me. You're keeping Chloe waiting, sir.
'But when you're married to Count Caseldy you'll go? 'Yes, then. She uttered it so joylessly that Duchess Susan added, with intense affectionateness, 'You're not obliged to marry him, dear Chloe. 'Nor he me, madam. The duchess caught at her impulsively to kiss her, and said she would undress herself, as she wished to be alone. From that night she was a creature inflamed.
And, sir, I will add that I could perfectly rely also on your honour. Mr. Beamish bowed. 'You do but do me justice. But, say, what interpretation? 'She began by fearing you, said Caseldy, creating a stare that was followed by a frown. 'She fancies you neglect her. Perhaps she has a woman's suspicion that you do it to try her.
