"It! What, Fulda?" "The Child just as he describes it. It appears there" looking up at the panel "and stretches out its little hands to me smiling, but when I move to take it, it is gone!" "My dear Fulda," Lord Dawne replied, with a shiver which he attributed to the chill of the chapel, "people who live in such an atmosphere as you do are liable to see things!"
"So should I," said Angelica, "in fun, you know; and I was thinking so last night; but then I could not help noticing what a fool Aunt Fulda was making of herself, and grandpapa looked such a precious old idiot too. They weren't enjoying it a bit, You were the only one of the family, Uncle Dawne, who believed and looked dignified." "Who told you I believed?" he asked.
"Something! something! something beyond the mere getting up in the morning and going to bed at night, with an interval of exercise between. I want to do something for somebody!" Lord Dawne raised his eyebrows slightly. He had no idea that such a notion had ever entered her head.
He reined in his horse, which was fidgety, and at the same moment Dr. Galbraith came out. "Nothing wrong here, I hope?" Lord Dawne inquired. "No," was the curt response, "it is that poor child at the palace. I have been up with her all night." "What is the matter now?" Lord Dawne inquired. "Now it is her brain," the doctor answered; then stepped into his carriage and was driven away.
"Like poor Edith?" she suggested. Dawne compressed his lips. "That was her ideal," Angelica proceeded "her own home and husband and family, someone to love and trust and look up to. She told me all about it at Fountain Towers under the influence of indignation and strong tea. And she was an exquisite womanly creature! No, thank you!
An' me, 'eaven forgive me, thinkin' 'im out o' 'is mind when 'e wrote to 'em an' said they was 'is friends. There was 'is lordship the Markis o' Dawne, and 'is two sisters, an' that other great lady what is with 'em so much.
The day after the wedding, in the afternoon, Dr. Galbraith walked over from Fountain Towers to Hamilton House, through the fields, and encountered Lord Dawne in the porch. It was lovely summer weather. "I am looking for the children," Lord Dawne said. "I have come over from Morne with a message for them from their grandfather. Do you happen to have seen them anywhere?" "Yes, I have," Dr.
But before he could finish the affable phrase, the door burst open from without, and Angelica entered. "Hollo! Are you all here?" she said. "How are you, Uncle Dawne?" "I wish you would not be so impetuous," Diavolo remonstrated gently. "You quite startle one." "You are a coon!" said Angelica. "My dear child " Lady Angeline began.
I suppose, if Uncle Dawne won't marry, I shall be obliged to go into the House of Lords eventually; but, in the meantime, I should like to be doing some good in the world." "You might go into Parliament," his uncle suggested. "Ah, no!" Diavolo answered seriously. "I should never dream of undertaking any of the actual work of the world while there are plenty of good women to do it for me.
"What on earth are you children doing?" Lord Dawne exclaimed. "Feeding the hungry, sir," Diavolo drawled cheerfully. "Well," groaned the poor priest, "you needn't have taken all my best china for that purpose." "We did that, sir," Diavolo replied with dignity, "in order that you, all unworthy as you are, might have the pleasure of participating in this good work.
