It was evident that the object of the other ministers in absenting themselves from the Queen's Council was, should anything go wrong, to throw all the blame on Sir William Cecil. The wise way, however, in which the Queen acted, by affording him her utmost support, showed that she was well aware of their purpose, and that she was resolved to take the responsibility on her own shoulders.
So while Cecil was drawing on Mark Waring to talk about his daily life sympathizing with him about his hard, distasteful work, and pitying his loneliness, she never guessed how her words were being branded, one by one, on the earnest, steadfast heart, that her own lofty nature was not worthy to understand.
'If I had been the executrix I would not have attempted it! As I was not, I know very little about how the business was pushed through. In a very unseemly way, I think. 'Well, no, said Mr. Cecil, feeling himself morally called upon to defend legal procedure from such imputations. 'It was done in the usual way in all cases where the proof of death is only presumptive.
She was a witness from her window a prisoner's window, her 'eager heart could have termed it of a remarkable ostentation of cordiality between the colonel and Cecil, in the presence of Mr. Romfrey. Was it his humour to conspire to hand Miss Halkett to Cecil, and then to show Nevil the prize he had forfeited by his folly? The three were on the lawn a little before Colonel Halkett's departure.
"Yes, in common civility," said Raymond; "but it was as much as I could do to get it done, the position was a false one altogether." "In fact, you were all jealous," said Rosamond. At which everybody laughed, which was her sole intention; but Cecil, who had said so much less, really thought what Rosamond said in mere play.
Try and think of something else of the Christmas pantomime. You know grannie says you shall go if you do your lessons well," returned Katherine. "It isn't silly!" exclaimed Cecil. "Mammy tells us we must take care of her when we are rich men, and that we shall be able to hold up our heads as high as any one. I can hold up my head now."
Mingled with the debased tribes that made up the larger part of the gathering, Cecil saw here and there warriors of a bolder and superior race, Yakimas and Klickitats, clad in skins or wrapped in blankets woven of the wool of the mountain sheep.
And poor Lucy serve her right worn to a shadow." Mr. Beebe watched the shadow springing and shouting over the tennis-court. Cecil was absent one did not play bumble-puppy when he was there. "Well, if they are coming No, Minnie, not Saturn." Saturn was a tennis-ball whose skin was partially unsewn. When in motion his orb was encircled by a ring.
"I would never go again to the same place," cried Cecil. "That's not the way to acquire new ideas." "We are too old to acquire new ideas, my dear," drawled Rosamond, sleepily. "What did you go to the Church Congress for!" asked Charlie. "I hope Julius was awake by that time," said Frank. "Not if we are to have all the new ideas tried on us," said Raymond, dryly.
And that was not the life for Mr. Cecil Burleigh. Their best friends said so, and they acquiesced. From this it followed that the time was come for them to part. Julia was twenty-four. The present opportunity of settling herself by a desirable marriage lost, she might never have another might wear away youth, beauty, expectation, until no residuum were left her but bitterness and regret.
