The Darminster City bench sits to-day, and they want that unlucky child over there to make her deposition for his committal. 'Can't they commit him without her? 'Not for the forgery. The bank people are bent on prosecuting for that, and we can't stop them. I suppose she can be depended on? 'Reginald, don't! I told you the deceit was an unnatural growth from Constance's pseudo sentiment.
'You said it was raining at Darminster. 'Yes, that it was, everywhere beyond the tunnel through the Darfield hills. 'Exactly, I know they make a line in the rainfall. Well, here it was dry, but Dolores called it a wet day. 'Now I call that too bad, Jane, to lay a trap for the poor child in the game, cried Colonel Mohun, just as if they had still been boy and girl together.
She grasped Dolores's hand and scudded across the platform, giving the return tickets almost before the collector was ready. A cautious guard even exclaimed, 'What's those two young women up to? but was answered at once, 'They're all right! That's nought but one of the old parson's daughters, as have been out with a return to Darminster.
The two gentlemen who had gone to Darminster brought home tidings that the police who had been put on the track of Flinders had telegraphed that it was thought that a person answering to his description had embarked at Liverpool in an American-bound steamer.
'In person. 'When did he tell you so? 'On the 22nd of December. 'And where? 'At Darminster. 'Let me ask whether this interview at Darminster took place with the knowledge of the lady with whom you reside? 'No, it did not, said Dolores, colouring deeply. 'Was it a chance meeting? 'No by appointment. 'How was the appointment made? 'We wrote to say we would come that day.
'That wretch Flinders must have got into communication with her, and induced her to fill up her father's cheque for him. 'But why should it be Flinders? said Lord Rotherwood. 'Jane found out that he is living at Darminster, and has been trying to put me on my guard, returned Lady Merrifield. 'It is all that fellow Flinders, depend upon it, said Colonel Mohun.
They had not been obliged to start nearly so early as the other party, as the journey was much shorter, and with no change of line, so they had quietly walked to the station by ten o'clock, arrived at Darminster at half-past eleven, and have been met by the personage whom Dolores recognized as Uncle Alfred.
Flinders, to whom it had been promised the day they went to Darminster, and she was quite ready to depose that when it left her hands, it was only for seven pounds. This was all that the bank manager wanted.
'He is quite capable of it, and you'll find poor Dolly has nothing to do with it. Quite preposterous. And look here, Lily, let the poor child alone to enjoy herself tonight. Most likely Rotherwood's clerk, or detective, or whatever he may be, will have ferreted out the rights of the matter at Darminster.
When she came down again, it was to quiet the tempest of merriment, and send off the younger folks in succession to bed, till only the four elders and Hal remained on the scene, waiting till there was reason to think the household would be ready for prayers. 'It was Dolores that you saw at Darminster, Reginald, said Miss Mohun, quietly. 'You Sphynx woman, how do you know?
