"Vienna! do you think of going to Vienna?" cried Caroline. "Yes," said Legard. "I hate Paris; any place better than this odious city!" and he moved away. Evelyn's eyes followed him sadly and gravely. She remained by Lady Doltimore's side, abstracted and silent for several minutes. "Oh, it is a voluntary offer of Legard's, Lady Doltimore, believe me, I have used no persuasive arts.
"I wish we were going to Paris together, we should enjoy it so;" and Lord Doltimore's knight checked the tower and queen. Caroline coughed, and stretched her hand quickly to move. "Pardon me, you will lose the game if you do so!" and Doltimore placed his hand on hers, their eyes met, Caroline turned away, and Lord Doltimore settled his right collar.
He saw, at once, that Cesarini had dogged him; he resolved the next morning to change his hotel, and to apply to the police. It was strange how sudden and keen a fear had entered the breast of this callous and resolute man! On arriving at Lady Doltimore's, he found Caroline alone in the drawing-room. It was a tete-a-tete that he by no means desired.
Inly resolving not to hazard a second meeting with the Italian during the rest of his sojourn at Paris by venturing in the streets on foot, he ordered his carriage towards evening; dined at the Cafe de Paris; and then re-entered his carriage to proceed to Lady Doltimore's house.
"I have been everywhere in search of you," said Lord Doltimore, in an accent of tender reproach: "come, we are almost too late now." Caroline put her arm into Lord Doltimore's, who hurried her into the ballroom.
But here we must return to Lord Vargrave. MY noble lord, Your worthy friends do lack you. Macbeth. He is about it; The doors are open. Ibid. ON quitting Lady Doltimore's house, Lumley drove to his hotel. His secretary had been the bearer of other communications, with the nature of which he had not yet acquainted himself; but he saw by the superscriptions that they were of great importance.
In the first heat of this determination, he turned towards some young men standing near him, one of whom was about to visit Vienna. She was leaning on Lady Doltimore's arm, and the admiring murmur of his companions caused Legard to turn suddenly round. "You are not dancing to-night, Colonel Legard," said Caroline, glancing towards Evelyn.
"No, my lord; he said he should take another opportunity. He was a strange-looking gentleman, and his clothes were threadbare." "Ah, some troublesome petitioner. Perhaps a Pole in distress! Remember I am never at home when he calls. Shut the door. To Lady Doltimore's." Lumley's heart beat as he threw himself back, he again felt the grip of the madman at his throat.
The old lady, too, has something to leave, and Caroline had no dowry, not that I care for it; but still marriage is expensive." "By the by, you will want the five thousand pounds you lent me?" "Why, whenever it is convenient." Say no more, it shall be seen to. Doltimore, I am very anxious that Lady Doltimore's debut at Paris should be brilliant: everything depends on falling into the right set.
He was well formed to attract men younger than himself, and he eminently succeeded in his designs upon Lord Doltimore's affection. But his leading characteristics were vanity and conceit. He had lived much with younger sons, cleverer than himself, who borrowed his money, sold him their horses, and won from him at cards.
