And there are many ways of roaring, Barnabas. Indeed I might give you many hints on Roaring, Barnabas, but considering the length of Cleone's letter, I will spare you more, nor even give you any advice though I yearn to only this: Be yourself, Barnabas, in Society or out, so shall I always subscribe myself: Your affectionate friend, 3 P.M. I have opened this letter to tell you that Mr.
"Hum!" said the Marquis dubiously, deftly re-settling his cravat, "and what of yourself, Beverley?" "I have asked her only twice, I think." "Ah, and she refused you?" "No," sighed Barnabas, "she told me she despised me." "Did she so? Give me your hand I didn't think you were so strong in the running. With Cleone's sort there's always hope so long as she isn't sweet and graciously indifferent."
And with a quick, smiling nod, she hurried away across the paddock after the others. Then Barnabas broke the seal of Cleone's letter, and though to be sure it might have been longer he found it all sufficient. Here it is: The Palace Grange, Eltham, Midnight. Ever Dearest, The race is to-morrow and, because I love you greatly, so am I greatly afraid for you.
"Mutiny?" "Ye see, sir," the Bo'sun went on to explain, "orders is orders, and if she don't love Master Horatio well, she ought to." "Why?" "Because they was made for each other. Because they was promised to each other years ago. It were all arranged an' settled 'twixt Master Horatio's father, the Earl, and Lady Cleone's guardian, the Cap'n."
"But can't you see, if you force him to expose you it will mean your social ruin?" "But then I gave Her my promise." "Oh, Barnabas," said the Duchess, looking up at him with her young, beautiful eyes that were so like Cleone's, "what a superb fool you are! And your father is only a village inn-keeper!" "No, madam, he was champion of all England as well."
"That which may provoke your scorn of me, which may earn me Cleone's bitterest contempt." "Why then, sir don't say another word about it " "Ah, but I must indeed I must! For I know now that to balk at it, to to keep silent any longer would be dishonorable and the act of a coward!" "Oh dear me!" sighed the Duchess, "I fear you are going to be dreadfully heroic about something!"
And Patten dressed me in such a hurry this morning which was really my fault, and I know my wig's not straight and there you stand staring at it as though you wanted to kiss it I mean Cleone's letter, not my wig. That ridiculous Mr.
"For one thing, because he is what he is " "Lady Cleone's brother." "Half-brother, sir, and none the less a knave." "How ?" "I mean that he is a card-sharper, a common cheat." "Her brother ?" "Half-brother!" "A cheat! Are you sure?" "Certain! I had the misfortune to make the discovery.
Cleone's hand stole up, and she touched his grimly-set chin very gently with one white finger. "I am become a thing for the Fashionable World to sharpen its wits upon," he continued, keeping his stern gaze perseveringly averted. "And so, my lady because I cannot any longer cheat folks into accepting me as a gentleman, I shall in all probability become a farmer, some day." Cleone sighed.
I promised I'd deliver it for her, I mean the letter that's why I made Bamborough bring me here. So you see I've kept my word as I always do that is sometimes. Oh, dear me, I'm so excited about the race, I mean and Cleone's so nervous came and woke me long before dawn, and there were tears on her lashes I know because I felt 'em when I kissed them I mean her eyes.
