'Of course that is a familiarity not to be thought of between full-grown people like us, Mr Cumbermede, she rejoined, and her smile became a laugh. 'Ah, you do recognize me, then? I said, thinking her cool, but forgetting the thought the next moment. 'I guess at you. If you had been dressed as on one occasion, I should not have got so far as that.
'At least you can understand, sir, how a man of imagination, like Mr Cumbermede here, might desire to possess himself of a weapon which bears his initials, and belonged two hundred years ago to a baronet of the same name as himself a circumstance which, notwithstanding it is by no means a common name, is not quite so strange as at first sight appears that is, if all reports are true.
'Rather an ill-chosen spot for the purpose, papa, she returned, laughing, 'especially as the gentleman has too much to do with his horse to get off and talk to me. 'Ah! our old friend Mr Cumbermede, I declare! Only rather more of him! he added, laughing, as he opened the little gate in the wire fence, and coming up to me, shook hands heartily. 'Delighted to see you, Mr Cumbermede.
'I know nothing about your sword, Mr Cumbermede, she answered, shaking her head and pursing up her mouth. 'I don't ask you anything about it, Mrs Wilson; I only ask you where I slept the night I lost it. 'Really, Mr Cumbermede, you can hardly expect me to remember in what room a visitor slept let me see it must be twelve or fifteen years ago! I do not take it upon me. 'Oh! never mind, then.
When you discovered that I could not serve those, you dropped me like a bit of glass you had taken for a diamond. Have you any right to grumble if I give you the discipline of a passing shame? 'Mr Cumbermede, he said, through his teeth, 'you will repent this. I gave him no answer, and he left the church in haste.
He had only, I think, been running over their talk in his mind to see if he had said anything unpleasant, and now, re-assured, I think, he stretched his hand across the table. 'At all events, Mr Cumbermede, he said, 'we owe you an apology. I am sure we can't have said anything we should mind you hearing; but
'What's your name, young gentleman? asked Mrs Wilson, with, I thought, some degree of sternness. 'Wilfrid Cumbermede, I answered. She stared at me a little, with a stare which would have been a start in most women. I was by this time calm enough to take a quiet look at her. She was dressed in black silk, with a white neckerchief crossing in front, and black mittens on her hands.
'It is at the Moat, I replied; 'but its future place is at Sir Giles's decision. 'Part of the description belongs to the scabbard you have in your hand, sir, said Brotherton. 'The description of the sword itself I submit to Mr Cumbermede. 'Till the other day I never saw the blade, I said.
He was in the dining-room, where they had just finished breakfast. 'Ah, Mr Cumbermede! he said, rising as I entered, and holding out his hand 'here already? 'We have uncovered some tapestry, Sir Giles, and I want you to come and look at it, if you please. 'I will, he answered. 'Would any of you ladies like to go and see it? His daughter and Clara rose.
At last, as she was pouring out the second cup, she looked at me over the teapot, and said 'You don't remember your mother, I suppose, Master Cumbermede? 'No, ma'am. I never saw my mother. 'Within your recollection, you mean. But you must have seen her, for you were two years old when she died.
