For I solemnly assure you, I have not the most remote recollection of having ever heard of him." "That point," said Curzon, "there can be no doubt of, for he not only designated you as Mr. Harry Lorrequer, but the gentleman that made all Cork laugh so heartily, by his representation of Othello." "Stop!" said I, "say not a word more; I'm his man."
"Are there really men who possess such things?" "I hope you will discover that for yourself some day," he answered. "Tell me your plans? Where are you living?" "For the present with my father in Curzon Street." "With Sir Timothy Brast?" She assented. "You know him?" she asked indifferently. "Very slightly," Francis replied. "We talked together, some nights ago, at Soto's Restaurant.
That was the only consolation she was able to offer; and she offered it so often that he began gradually to feel that something might be done towards bringing about so desirable an event. After what had occurred they could not live again in Curzon Street, nor even in London for awhile; but Naples was open to them.
Nothing could exceed the politeness of the parties on my consenting to this arrangement. Dr. Finucane proposed Carrigaholt, as the rendezvous, about 12 miles, I believe, from Kilrush, and Tuesday evening at six as the time, which will be the very earliest moment we can arrive there. So, pray be up to time, and believe me yours, C. Curzon, Saturday Evening."
All my eloquence being thrown away upon him, and on that instant thinking of my little lady in the grove, I walked towards the group with my hat in my hand, without further hesitation. "If you please, Sir George Curzon, there is a young lady in the shrubberies who wants you." "I think, young sir," replied Sir George, "you must make a mistake." "No, sir.
As she says this she looks at him with the prettiest smile; it is a mixture of amusement and defiance. Hardinge, gazing at her, draws conclusions. It seems to him a shame, and a pity too, but after all, old Curzon was hardly meant by Nature to do the paternal to a strange and distinctly spoilt child, and a beauty into the bargain.
When he was picked up, there was a small dagger through his heart." "Through Prince Shan's heart?" Maggie persisted wildly. "Yes!" Suddenly she began to laugh. It was a strange, hysterical ebullition of feeling, frankly horrifying. Naida gazed at her with distended eyes. "Prince Shan has never been here!" Maggie explained brokenly. "He has never left his house in Curzon Street! He is there now!"
I write in great haste, and am ever yours faithfully, C. Curzon. "N.B. I have not seen his note, so explain all and every thing." The inclosed letter ran thus: "Sir, It can scarcely have escaped your memory, though now nearly two months since, that at the Mayor's 'dejeune' in Cork, you were pleased to make merry at my expense, and expose me and my family for your amusement.
When they reached Curzon Street, the two heaps of letters, the telegrams and cards on the hall-table symbolised crudely enough the practical side of daily affairs. One name an unknown one among the many engraved on the white scraps caught Brigit's attention at once: The Rev. J. M. Foster. "That gentleman is a priest, Madam," said the butler; "he will call again this evening.
They know that both British and Anglo-Indian statesmen have recognized their grievances without being able to secure their redress, and it is interesting to note how warm were the tributes paid in the Imperial Council to the energy with which Lord Curzon had upheld their cause, by some of those who were most bitterly opposed to him when he was in India.
