Evander, whose arms were now released from bondage by Garlinge and Clupp, made a gesture of absolute acquiescence. "I am very sure I should have joined my men," he answered, calmly. Brilliana rounded on him triumphant. "Then you are a prisoner of war, fairly taken. Let me have no more words."
If you are no Roundhead then you are a stanch Cavalier, and in the King's name you confiscated certain gear of your fellow-prisoner." Now, while Paul was being interrogated Clupp had removed his hand from Master Peter's mouth and contented himself with holding him fast. Master Peter now saw an opportunity to assert himself. "I am not a prison " he began, but was not suffered to speak further.
But because the Erringtons were rich as well as titled persons, Van Clupp and his belongings bent the servile knee before them, flattering Thelma with that ill-judged eagerness and zealous persistency which distinguish inborn vulgarity, and which, far from pleasing her, annoyed and embarrassed her because she could not respond sincerely to such attentions.
Van Clupp, and Miss Van Clupp!" The ladies bow stiffly while Thelma responds to their prim salutation with easy grace.
But, in truth, these rich and vulgar Yankees seemed to her mind less to be esteemed than the peasants of the Altenfjord, who in many instances possessed finer tact and breeding than old Van Clupp, the man of many dollars, whose father had been nothing but a low navvy, but of whom he spoke now with smirking pride as a real descendant of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Then they turned upon each other again. "You rogue," cried Master Paul. "You rascal," answered Master Peter. In a second they were again struggling to get at each other, and were, as before, imperturbably held asunder by Garlinge and Clupp. Again Sir Blaise protested. "Good friends, be calm, I entreat you."
His sword was naked in his hand as he spoke and he made a rush for the door. But before he could reach it it was flung open in his face and Halfman rushed in, waving his drawn sword, and followed by Thoroughgood carrying a gun and Garlinge and Clupp armed with pikes.
"Deserves every-one's good wishes!" pooh! her "great desire is to make him always happy!" what utter rubbish! and he is a "light-hearted boy!" Good gracious! what next? Marcia Van Clupp is strongly inclined to giggle, and Mrs. Van Clupp is indignantly conscious that the Errington diamonds far surpass her own, both for size and lustre.
Van Clupp is so very grateful!" She sighed placidly, and appeared to meditate. Then she smiled sweetly and, approaching Mr. Marvelle, patted his shoulder caressingly. "I think we'll do the Italian lakes, dear what do you say?" "Charming charming!" declared, not her lord and master, but her slave and vassal. "Nothing could be more delightful!" And to the Italian lakes accordingly they went.
