It seemed to me the most serious and convincing circumstances that had yet offered itself to my consideration. Dacres was no longer content to bring solace and support to the more appealing figure of the situation; he must set to work, bless him! to improve the situation itself.
When people have understood you very adequately for ten years you do not expect them to boggle at any problem you may present at the end of the decade. I thought Dacres was moved by a fine sense of compassion.
I remember being startled when you told me that, and for a moment an odd fancy came to me. I wondered whether your child-angel might not be the identical being about whom my poor dear mother went into such raptures. Good Lord! what a joke! By Jove!" "A joke!" growled Dacres. "I don't see any joke in it.
You see, too, there's another thing, my boy. Marriage is a sacrament, and you've not only got to untie the civil knot, but the clerical one, my boy. No, no; there's no help for it. You gave your word, old chap, 'till death do us part, and you're in for it." At this Dacres said nothing; it appeared to dispel his project from his mind.
The moonlight fell full upon them on the platform under the arch. It showed Dacres measuring with his stick the length of the Sanskrit letters which declared the stately texts, and Cecily's expression of polite, perfunctory interest. They looked up at the height above them; they looked back at the vision behind.
But he was as loyal as he was frank, and held York stoutly while the Queen ordered Mary's hasty removal to a new prison at Coventry. The storm however broke as rapidly as it had gathered.

Then Girasole descended the stairs, and the lady again sank upon her knees. Thus far there seemed a spell upon Dacres; but this last incident and the clear child-voice of Minnie seemed to break it. He could no longer keep silence. His emotion was as intense as ever, but the bonds which had bound his lips seemed now to be loosened. "Oh, Arethusa!" he moaned. At the sound of his voice Mrs.

Hawbury sprang to his feet as though he had been shot. "What!" he cried. "I'm married!" "You're what? Married? You! married! Scone Dacres! not you not married?" "I'm married!" "Good Lord!" "I'm married!" Hawbury sank back in his seat, overwhelmed by the force of this sudden and tremendous revelation. For some time there was a deep silence. Both were smoking.
"Oh, Kitty!" "You're raving!" "Won't you 'humor' me just this once! only this once." "Hush! there they come," said Mrs. Willoughby, suddenly snatching away her hand, which Dacres had somehow got hold of again, and moving a little further away from him. It was the Baron and Minnie who were coming back again, while Hawbury and Ethel were seen a little further away.
