'You don't believe that I should speak of it? But I feel I could bear it better; I should know for certain it was no use hoping. Emily could not answer. 'It is some one in London? 'Yes, Mr. Dagworthy, I cannot tell you more than that. Please do not ask more. 'I won't. Of course your opinion of me is worse than ever. That doesn't matter much.
He squared himself in pugilistic attitude, and found amusement in delivering terrific blows which just stopped short of Hood's prominent features. The latter beat a retreat. Twelve o'clock struck, and no telegram had arrived; neither had Dagworthy returned to the mill.
'I never remember being in time for breakfast since I was born, cried the girl. 'I dare say your memory doesn't go far enough back, rejoined Dagworthy, with the smile of one who trifled from a position of superior age and experience. Mrs. Cartwright laughed with a little embarrassment.
Dagworthy! she said, with transparent affectation. 'I wonder what he came for this morning. He said he wanted father's address, but I know that was only an excuse. He hasn't been to see us for months. It was like his impudence to ever come at all, after the way he behaved when he married that stuck-up Miss Hanmer.
When Captain Dagworthy, commanding thirty men in the Maryland service, undertook in virtue of a king's commission to outrank the commander-in-chief of the Virginian forces, Washington made up his mind that he would have this question at least finally and properly settled. So, as has been said, he went to Boston, saw Governor Shirley, and had the dispute determined in his own favor.
It is needless to say, their sojourn in each city was a continual fete. The mission to General Shirley was entirely successful as to the question of rank. A written order from the Commander-in-chief determined that Dagworthy was entitled to the rank of a provincial captain, only, and, of course, must on all occasions give precedence to Colonel Washington, as a provincial field officer.
Another thing she would not come to stay with me after her mother's funeral. Mr. Dagworthy lives on the Heath, only just beyond Banbrigg. You see to what things we can be led, if we begin interpreting shadows; but Emily is a mystery to me, and, as I have begun, I must gossip to you all I know. Mrs.
Yesterday, just before I came home to find you here, I met Mr. Dagworthy by chance in a draper's shop, and he told me that he was going away to-day, leaving England. 'To-day? 'Yes. And I saw that he had been buying a box of ladies' gloves. 'What do you mean? Wilfrid stammered out.
She was at home then for a few weeks before her departure for London, and the Baxendales, who had always shown her much kindness, invited her to an evening party, at which Dagworthy was present. He had chatted with her on that occasion. Yes, he was going to speak.
Moreover, by observation, she had concluded that Jessie could not possibly be aware of what had taken place in the garden. And now Dagworthy was likely to be away for three weeks. Her heart was lighter again. Dagworthy was absent not quite a fortnight, and he returned looking anything but the better for his holiday.
