His duty lay in taking up once more the role of Clifford Matheson and returning to Olive's side. Though what he had seen that evening made the duty trebly distasteful, he must carry it out to the end. Yet to himself he was glad of the short respite. For one night more he would breathe freedom as John Rivière. Only one night more!
On the melancholy tidings of Henrietta's death reaching England, the profligate Duke of Buckingham was despatched to Paris as envoy extraordinary, ostensibly to inquire into the particulars of that catastrophe but in reality, as Burnet says, to conclude the treaty. Large sums of money were also distributed to Buckingham, Arlington, and Clifford.
The Baron was pleased with the alliance, and took the first opportunity to mention it to Lord Clifford; who answered him, pleasantly: "I will give my daughter to your son, upon condition that you will give yours to the Heir of Lovel."
They entered the office, and left with the editor this advertisement: "Lost. Between Prospect Park and Fulton Ferry, a porte-monnaie, marked 'Horace S. Clifford, containing thirty-five dollars. The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving the same at No. , Cor. Fifth Ave. and Street."
It is late! It is late! I want my happiness!" Alas, poor Clifford! You are old, and worn with troubles that ought never to have befallen you. You are partly crazy and partly imbecile; a ruin, a failure, as almost everybody is, though some in less degree, or less perceptibly, than their fellows.
Jenny! is it you!" fell passionately from his lips, as he caught her in his arms, and kissed her fervently. "Bless you! Bless you, Jenny! This is more than I had hoped for," he added, as he gazed fondly into her beautiful young face. "They said you were not here," murmured Jenny, "and my heart was in despair." "You asked for Mark Clifford?" "Yes." "I am not known in the service by that name.
"I've been here for a year and a half," she added lamely. "I've not seen John I tell you I never thought of him as anything but Adele's husband! And Clifford the man I am to marry is a good man, and it means a home for life for my boy and me and it means the greatest pleasure to my father and sisters " "I think I never heard such a damnable set of reasons for a beautiful woman's marriage!"
In the interim the second dance had ended, and Clifford was conducting Lucy to her seat, each charmed with the other, when he found himself abruptly tapped on the back, and turning round in alarm, for such taps were not unfamiliar to him, he saw the cool countenance of Long Ned, with one finger sagaciously laid beside the nose.
"No wonder Benita won't let you mesmerize her," he said shortly. Then Jacob saw his mistake. "You are more foolish than I thought," he said. "How could I mesmerize you without your knowing it? I was only laughing at you." "I didn't see the laugh," replied Mr. Clifford uneasily, and they went on with the lesson.
On the 20th of November, the Attorney-general moved, before Lord Ellenborough, for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Clifford for unlawfully conspiring with certain others to intimidate the proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, and force them, to their loss and detriment, to lower their prices of admission.
