Upon me devolved the housekeeping, provisioning, and care of the garden, with the help of a maid, occasionally that of Dugald's wife as charwoman, and pretty regularly that of Dugald himself for a certain portion of the day; that is, when he was not required by my husband to man the boat or to help in a camping-out expedition.
Well, if I don't ax myself to dat party, my name's not old Aunt Katie Mortimer, dat's all!" said the old woman in glee, as she cautiously stole from the room and approached the door leading into Mrs. Dugald's apartments. When at the door, which was ajar, she peeped in. The suite was arranged upon the same plan as Lady Vincent's own.
It was on the day after I heard her story of Captain Dugald's midnight visit and the evil it brought her, I begged from her the loan of that miniature which I showed you. And I do think she half suspected the use that I was about to put it to.
Your interest was aroused, but I only told you that I was summoned in haste to my lady's apartments, and begged you to come with me " "And I thought her ladyship was perhaps ill, and needed experienced help, or I should certainly not have followed your lordship into this room," said Mrs. MacDonald, who, however, made no motion to withdraw. Mrs. Dugald's insulting laugh rang through the room.
Dugald's prudence, watchfulness, and untiring industry minimized every stroke; nevertheless, things went steadily to the worse. It was Destiny versus Dugald McIntyre, and with true Scottish determination Dugald braced himself to the contest.
Dugald has been a prisoner in the house, because she cannot go out alone; and she will not go out, attended by me, unless you are also of the party, for fear that evil-minded people will talk." Claudia's beautiful lip curled with scorn as she answered: "Mrs. Dugald's scruples do credit to her powers of duplicity." "You wrong her.
Cuthbert, by the way, showed up so splendidly when I explained to him about the engagement that the responsibility was entirely mine, not Dugald's that I earnestly wished I were twins so that one of me could have married the beautiful youth which indeed I had wished a little all the time. And now I come to the purpose of this story for though well concealed it has had one from the beginning.
She did marry again; hut, a few months subsequent to her marriage, her husband heard the story of Captain Dugald's adventure, as it was then circulated and believed; and he thought himself the dupe of a cunning adventuress, and estranged himself from his wife from that day until this." "Fader Abraham!" exclaimed the Jew, raising both his hands in consternation.
And Nemesis was at the door. It was a wild night. The snowstorm that had been threatening all day long came down like avalanches whirled before the northern blast. It was a night in which no one would willingly go abroad; when everyone keenly appreciated the comfort of shelter. Very comfortable on this evening was Mrs. Dugald's boudoir.
Little Madame Blanchard had chirped to her in Parisian accent for the hour together over les modes and le beau Paris. Sara had danced and drilled with the other young ladies at Miss Dugald's select establishment, and had joined them at the riding-school or in the cavalcade under Captain Cooper. Sara had worn her bondage lightly, and had fascinated even grim old Herr Schliefer.
