"I call that mean and base," said Elizabeth, giving the words a low but clear-toned emphasis, which made Percival wince. "Thank you," he said. And there was another long silence, which lasted until they drew up at Mr. Colquhoun's door. Percival waited for nearly an hour before she came back, and had time to go through every possible phase of anger and mortification.
Well, the very next day, on parade, Roylance got the men into a muddle. Colquhoun's a good soldier, you know, and nothing riles him like inefficiency; and, by Jove! he was down on the lad like shot!
"Did you ever hear of a place called San Stefano?" he said, gently. Old Mr. Colquhoun bounded in his seat. "Good God!" he said, although he was not a man given to the use of such ejaculations. And then he stared fixedly at Hugo. "I can't think how it has been kept quiet so long," said Hugo, tentatively. He was feeling his way. But this remark roused Mr. Colquhoun's ire. "Kept quiet?
He made his way, after his visit to the Herons, to Mr. Colquhoun's office, and was fortunate in finding that gentleman at home. "Well, Hugo, and how are you?" asked the lawyer, who did not regard Mrs. Luttrell's nephew with any particular degree of favour. "What brings you to this part of the world again?" "My aunt's invitation," said Hugo.
And then Elizabeth shed a small tear or two, although she did not exactly know why. Mr. Colquhoun's wrath and astonishment were not to be described. That Brian should have been so near him, and that they should have never met! "I should have known him anywhere!" cried the old man. "Grey hair! do you tell me?
Corporal Peters was standing close to Colquhoun, who was reaching for his revolver, and he covered him and ordered him to put up his hands, at the same time snatching away Colquhoun's revolver. Sergeant Shoebotham, Corporal Stewart and Constable Browning ran after Dunn, firing as they went, he returning the fire as he ran.
"There is no doubt that women do cling to the clergy," was the outcome of Colonel Colquhoun's reflections "I mean metaphorically speaking, of course," he hastened to add with a laugh, perceiving the double construction that might be put on the remark in view of the situation.
"You must, you must," he repeated vehemently. It hardly seemed any time since he had gone to bed when Jeff was roused by Uncle Hugh touching him on the shoulder. "Get up, my boy, quickly, your mother wishes you to come to her." Mr. Colquhoun's face was very grave, and his habitually cold voice had a thrill of sympathy in its tones. The boy was up in a moment. Nothing was surprising now.
Brett seized his client by the arm and bore him away to the hotel, arguing and scolding as he went. Before his departure, however, Dino found time to say a word in Mr. Colquhoun's ear. "Will you kindly look after Hugo to-night?" he said. "Mrs. Luttrell will not wish him to return to Netherglen." "Oh! There's been a quarrel, has there?" said Mr. Colquhoun eyeing the young man curiously.
