"Oh, there are precedents. It was done in the Bearsdale case." "There was a doubt there." Lady Evenswood knew all about the Bearsdale case; though it was ancient history to Southend, she had danced with both the parties to it. "The House was against the marriage unanimously." But he did not deny the doubt. "Well, what are you going to do?" she asked. "It would be necessary to approach Disney."
But they discussed it eagerly for some minutes before agreeing that, wherever the truth lay, a viscounty could not be considered out of the way for the Tristrams legitimate and proper Tristrams, be it understood. "And that's where the match would be of decisive value," Lady Evenswood concluded. "Disney said as much evidently. So you understood, Madame Zabriska?" "I suppose so.
The politicians were at it still, for two more hot, weary, sultry weeks, but they were of little use. Lady Flora had fled to Scotland, Disney was smothered in arrears of work which must be made up before he got a rest. London was full of strange faces and outlandish folk. "I must take a holiday myself," said Harry in a moment of seeming inspiration. Where, where, where?
I expected the boy might be getting hungry for a smoke about the same time Owen met him on the road. Well, he came, and we pounced down on him just when he had opened the pack, and was lighting a weed with his trembling, tobacco-stained fingers; because, just like Leon Disney, and that slick Nick Lang, Tip is a confirmed cigarette fiend, you know."
Mina had a vague sense that serious things were being joked about. Harry had turned from his hostess and was listening. "That's what it comes to," concluded Theo. Disney glanced round, smiling grimly. Everybody had become silent. Barililand had produced the question on which Lord Hove was supposed to be restive. Disney laughed and looked at his wife. She rose from the table.
But Nick, as well as his two satellites, Leon Disney and Tip Slavin, had been on the grounds at the time Hugh started his run, for he had taken particular notice of this fact; consequently, it was hardly likely that they could be concerned in any practical joke; and certainly no other fellow would be guilty of such a thing. That decided Hugh.
Several families of Irish had lately arrived at the settlement, to some of whom Peter Disney was related. As soon as Pat Honan drew near the shore, where many of them were standing watching the boat, he shouted out that Peter was dead.
Almost she hated her idol Mr Disney. Personal jealousy, and jealousy for Cecily, blinded her to his merits, much more to the gracious cordiality which his wife was now showing. "Yes, I'm sure we shall make something of Harry Tristram." "He doesn't like things done for him," Mina declared. She meant to show how very well she knew him, and spoke with an air of authority.
The startled boy struggled to get free, but Hugh had taken a firmer grip upon his person, and saw to it that he could not squirm loose. "Quit your kicking!" cried Thad, indignantly, when one of the fellow's shoes came in rough contact with his own shins; "or we'll start something along the same lines! We know you, Leon Disney, so there's no use trying to hide your face."
Hugh had decided to finish the bout with this third round, and the way he pummeled staggering Nick almost dazed Leon Disney and those other fellows, staring as though in the throes of a nightmare. When for the third time clumsy Nick went down heavily before the attack of the aroused Hugh, he refused to make the least effort to get on his feet.
