"Sun always shines out there," said Bob. "That sailor chap told me, and the birds are all sorts of colours, and the fish too, like you see in glass globes. I mean to go." "When shall you go?" "Oh, some day when I'm ready. I know of a jolly boat as would just do." "Do you?" "Yes; I dessay you've seen it. Belongs to Danby's, down the river. Lives in a boat-house."
It was by his wife's persuasion that Anne was induced to forsake her father and take refuge in Danby's camp. Unscrupulous as his conduct had been, the services which Churchill thus rendered to William were too great to miss their reward.
But he knew it was too late, and he was too much hurried and confused to do more than try to keep up with Bob Dimsted as he ran by his side carrying the box till they had reached the meadow facing Sir James Danby's garden; and there, just dimly seen across the river, was the low gable-end of the boat-house beneath the trees. "Hush! don't make a row," whispered Bob. "Now then, slip in and fetch it.
"Won't they?" said Dexter, and then he started to his feet, for a familiar voice had spoken close to his ear "Why, Dexter!" The voice was as full of astonishment as the pleasant face which looked in his. "I thought you were at Sir James Danby's! Is Edgar out here, in the meadows!"
It required a poet or a girl in love to clothe a fancy so beautifully, and Nellie was both. It was her shrine: why should she not adorn it? I cannot follow the process of thought in Danby's mind as he looked at this and at Nellie Nellie blushing with the sudden guiltiness that even the discovery of a harmless action will bring when we wish to conceal it. Sometimes a moment reveals much.
"No money and no clothes. I say," he added at the end of one grumbling fit, "what made you want to run away!" "I don't know," said Dexter sadly. "I suppose it was because you persuaded me." "Oh, come, that's a good un," said Bob. "Why, it was you persuaded me! You were always wanting to go away, and you said we could take Danby's boat, and go right down to the sea."
He took Danby's right hand while it was still warm and closed the fingers around the butt of the revolver from which he had fired, placing the forefinger on the trigger of the cocked six-shooter.
This would show that the dead man had defended himself at least, and it would be difficult to prove that he had not been the first to fire. He placed the other pistol and the knife in their places in Danby's belt.
"Not alone though, Loveliness!" said Anthony, between shut teeth. "In my dread I confided in Diana " "And she went with you," said I hoarsely, "in Danby's chaise!" "Yes. When Sir Geoffrey saw Diana she seemed to fascinate him he refused to give up my letters said he could not part with them.
In his speech from the throne he asked for supplies to maintain the Protestant attitude of his Government in foreign affairs. But it was impossible to avert Danby's fall. The Commons insisted on carrying his impeachment to the bar of the Lords. It was necessary to dismiss him from his post of Treasurer and to construct a new ministry.
