Dunborough returned from a futile search, his failure in which condemned him to another twenty-four hours in that company, the first thing he saw was the attorney's gloomy face awaiting them in a dark corner of the coffee-room. The sight reproached him subtly, he knew not why; he was in the worst of tempers, and, for want of a better outlet, he vented his spleen on the lawyer's head.
It did not occur to Lady Dunborough to ask herself seriously how a girl in the Mastersons' position came to be in such quarters as the Castle Inn, and to have a middle-aged and apparently respectable attorney for a travelling companion.
Fortunately, on reaching the first floor he remembered that Lady Dunborough had requested him to convey her compliments to Dr. Addington, with an inquiry how Lord Chatham did. The tutor felt that a commonplace interview of this kind would settle his nerves; and having learned the position of Dr.
Thomasson's highest ambitions at this time to have the young Marquis of Carmarthen entrusted to him; and Lady Dunborough was connected with the family, and, it was said, had interest there. He was silent. 'You see, Mr. Dunborough continued, marking with a chuckle the effect his words had produced, 'you have got to get her. Mr.
I told him we ought not to come here! And then, before her ladyship could reply, 'Is this the party that have Sir George Soane's rooms? he continued, turning to the nearest servant. Lady Dunborough answered for the man. 'Ay! she said, pitiless in her triumph. 'They are! And know no more of Soane than the hair of my head!
'Yes, said Sir George mockingly. 'We are in search of her. And we want to know where she is. 'Where she is? 'Yes, where she is. That is it; where she is. You were to meet her here, you know. You are late and she has gone. But you will know whither. Mr. Dunborough stared; then in a tempest of wrath and chagrin, 'D n you! he cried furiously. 'As you know so much, you can find out the rest!
Dunborough had horsewhipped a man that was in the other's company. 'A man? 'It was Mr. Thomasson. Her ladyship's hands went up. Perhaps she remembered that but for her the tutor would not have been there. Then 'Sink you!
But when I came up, fit and ready to curse their heads off for giving me so much trouble, the fools had cut the leaders' traces and were off with them, and left me the old rattle-trap there. Sir George's face lightened; he took two steps forward and laid his hand on the chaise door. 'Just so, said Mr. Dunborough nodding coolly. 'That was my idea. I did the same.
A second drawer, more courageous, cried, 'Gentlemen, gentlemen for God's sake, gentlemen! and threw himself between the younger man and the door of the room. But Dunborough, his face flushed with anger, took him by the shoulder, and sent him spinning; then with an oath he followed the other into the Yarmouth, and slammed the door in the faces of the crowd. They heard the key turned.
Dunborough, he said trembling but it was with passion, 'if I thought you were sober and would not repent to-morrow what you have done to-night 'You would do fine things, Dunborough retorted. 'Come, sir, a truce to your impertinence! You have meddled with me, and you must maintain it. Must I strike you again? 'I will not meet you to-night, Sir George answered firmly.
