At this Dacres rushed on faster. The effort was tremendous. He leaped over fallen timbers, he burst through the underbrush. "Oh, I'm sure you'll kill yourself if you go so fast," said Mrs. Willoughby. "We can't catch up to them." At this Dacres slackened his pace, and went on more carefully. She again begged him to put her down. He again refused.
What do you suppose any other man would care for your nonsensical ravings? Lonely and an exile! Why, man, she'll be married and done for in three months." "You don't understand me," said Dacres, dryly. "I'm glad that I don't; but it's no wonder, old man, for really you were quite incoherent." "And so they're going to Rome," said Dacres. "Well, they'll find that I'm not to be shaken off so easily."
The wood being dense, Dacres found no more difficulty in passing through this than in traversing what lay behind him. The caution which he exercised here was as great as ever, and his progress was as slow, but as sure. At length he found himself upon the desired point, and, crawling cautiously forward to the shore, he looked down upon the very old house which he had desired to reach.
The decision of the Irish priest was correct, as has been proved in the case of Dacres, who, in spite of all his caution, was observed and captured. Of this the priest knew nothing, but judged from what he himself had seen on his approach to the house. The plan of the priest had been hastily communicated to Ethel, who shared his convictions and adopted his conclusions.
Lieutenant Dacres, who recovered sufficiently to go home with the despatches, received promotion as soon as he arrived in England, and was honoured with a personal interview with the king. He rose to be a vice-admiral. How Mr. Pellew's services in this, his first action, were appreciated by his superior officers is best told in their own words.
Now that was a lie, but whether it was justifiable or not may be left to others to decide. As for Ethel, an immense load of anxiety was lifted off her mind, and she began to breathe more freely. When Dacres was overpowered by his assailants no mercy was shown him. His hands were bound tight behind him, and kicks and blows were liberally bestowed during the operation.
"The more I think of it," said Dacres, dismally, and regarding the opposite wall with a steady yet mournful stare "the more I think of it, the more I see that there's no such happiness in store for me." "Pooh, man! what is it all about? This is the secret that you spoke about, I suppose?" "Yes; and it's enough to put a barrier between me and her. Was I jealous? Did I seem huffy?
A fess dancette Vavasour. 2. A blank shield. #North Side.# 1. A fess between three cross crosslets Beauchamp. 2. Three escallopes Dacres. The stone carving of the retro-choir, as the earlier work cast of the transepts is generally called, was greatly injured by the fire.
Dacres uttered this in a voice of grief and surprise which astonished Hawbury and touched him. "Yes," he said. "You know they've been here long enough. They want to see Rome. Holy-week, you know. No end of excitement. Illumination of St. Peter's, and all that sort of thing, you know." Dacres relapsed into sombre silence. For more than half an hour he did not say a word.
The three tall pale Dacres, Rose, Grace, and Amy, were more conventional, and less ready to swear alliance with the stranger; but they were not disagreeable girls, and improved considerably after a few days' acquaintance, showing themselves willing to take the bass in pianoforte duets, sing a decent second, exhibit their sketch-books and photographic collections in a friendly manner, and communicate new stitches and patterns in point de Russe or point d'Alencon.
