We got out at Dearmer and gave up our tickets to the porter-station-master-signalman. "What's this?" he said. "These are no good to me." "Well, they're no good to us. We've finished with them." We sat in the waiting-room with him for half an hour and explained the situation.
"There is evil to be done whichever side we fight for," said Rosmore. "I see more personal advantage in fighting for King James, and should anyone be able to persuade Fellowes to throw in his lot with Monmouth he will do me a service. The world grows too small to hold us both." "At least I hope that all my lovers will not fall victims to the rabble," said Mrs. Dearmer.
"Come, Martin, we must hear the whole story," said Sir John, and then he whispered to Rosmore as they crossed the hall together: "He is certain to be right, Martin invariably hears news, good or bad, before anyone else." "May we all hear it?" asked Mrs. Dearmer. "Why, surely," Martin Fairley exclaimed.
"Pray tell some tale that will again bring the colour to Mistress Lanison's cheek, for I vow she blushes most divinely." "At least, sir, the cause can have little connection with heaven," said Barbara. "Waste no words on him, my dear!" exclaimed Mrs. Dearmer. "He has been so long attached to the opposition that he has forgotten such a place as heaven exists.
Even her uncle laughed and seemed to agree when Heriot declared that a woman who was shy in her love affairs was always the most dangerous, and suggested that Mrs. Dearmer must look to her laurels now that Mistress Lanison had taken the field against her.
Dearmer, and then she drew Barbara a little farther away. "Tell me, are they right? Is there a lover?" "You may deny it if you are questioned," Barbara answered. "I will. I would not betray such a secret for the world. Does he climb to your window when the terrace is empty and silent, or is there some secret door by which he comes and no one ever the wiser?"
He had come at nightfall, had been with Sir John for an hour, and had then departed. He had not lingered in the servants' quarters to whisper something of his news, nor had Sir John mentioned his coming to his guests. There were not many guests at Aylingford just now, and Mrs. Dearmer yawned openly, and confessed herself bored.
Tell me why you have deserted us lately. I held that it was indisposition, others declared it was temper, and others can you guess what the others said?" "Was it something very unkind?" asked Barbara. She had walked away with Mrs. Dearmer and one or two others, amongst them a man named Heriot, to whom Barbara had hardly spoken, but whom she cordially disliked.
Dearmer, "but I fancy Abbot John is somewhat afraid of him." The little sequence of notes made Barbara Lanison start, she had heard it so often. When she was a child Martin had told her fairy tales, and he constantly finished the story by playing just these notes, a sort of musical comment to the end of a tale in which prince and princess lived happily ever afterwards.
Dearmer, radiant from the hands of her maid, came forth to face the world and God's good sun, and there were men with heads racked from last night's deep potations who would still lie abed and curse their ill-luck; but there was noisy bustle in the stable yards, the champing of bits and jingling of harness, and in the servants' quarters a hurrying to and fro with eager haste, and a pungent atmosphere of cooking food.
