For there was now between them, till they also were revealed and confessed, a whole new series of events: not only the Tanner episode, but Delane's reappearance, her interview with him, her rash attempt to silence Dempsey.
Delane's indefatigable pupil, was all at once conscious of a certain spring in the child's hand, as though it became faintly self-moved, a living thing. She cried out. Buntingford was there looking on; and all three hung over the child. Cynthia again placed the brick in his hand, and withdrew her own.
At first the plain man may be inclined to say that Delane's words have nothing to do with the matter, or, rather, he may feel inclined to reply in the spirit of Talleyrand's answer to the man who said he had to live "I do not see the necessity."
They sang it, with a sob in the throat. To Rachel, also, sunk in her own terrors, it was almost unbearable. The pure unspoilt passion of it the careless, confident joy seemed to make an outcast of her, as she sat there in the dark, dragged back by the shock and horror of Delane's appearance into the slime and slough of old memories, and struggling with them in vain.
She knew that for the first time she had confessed her wretched secret which she had thought so wholly her own and confessed it horrible and degrading thought! to Roger Delane. Not in words indeed but in act. No innocent woman would have paid the blackmail. The dark room in which she lay seemed to be haunted by Delane's exultant eyes. And the silence was haunted too by his last words.
On the contrary, after a few years in Fleet Street, he himself went to Printing House Square, where he became, in the closing days of Delane's editorship of the Times, the principal political leader writer. He made a great mark in that capacity, and drew the Times a good deal further in the direction of advanced Liberalism than it has ever been drawn before or since. He was a strong hater of Mr.
Delane's power at one time was almost incalculable, and he gained it by unerringly finding out exactly what England wanted. England might be wrong or right that was none of Delane's business; he cared only to discover what his country wished for from day to day. An amazing function is that of an editor. Then we have the leader-writer.
Will you stop smiling in that inscrutable way and tell me what you mean? Mrs. Mallowe told. 'And you mean to say that it is absolutely Platonic on both sides? 'Absolutely, or I should never have taken it up. 'And his last promotion was due to you? Mrs. Mallowe nodded. 'And you warned him against the Topsham Girl? Another nod. 'And told him of Sir Dugald Delane's private memo about him?
The antagonism to the United States at the outbreak of the War of Secession was Delane's, and not in accordance with Mr. Walter's feeling, but, like most of Delane's views, borrowed from London society or the government.
Delane was probably the first individual who was ever educated with a distinct view to his becoming an editor. While he was still a boy, his father, a solicitor by profession, received an appointment in the office of "The Times," which led to young Delane's acquaintance with the proprietors of the journal. It seems they took a fancy to the lad.
