Ralph hurried them into the light car, where he had already stowed Enid's hand luggage. Only wizened little Mrs. Royce slipped out from the kitchen to bid them good-bye. That evening some bad boys had come out from town and strewn the road near the mill with dozens of broken glass bottles, after which they hid in the wild plum bushes to wait for the fun.
Everything!" Again he threw out his hands. "This man that we have called Prophet this man that we have bent the knee to he is nothing; nothing " Once more emotion overpowered his words. "Nothing?" Enid's voice was indistinct, her tongue dry. " Nothing but an impostor! An impostor! A thief!" He spoke loudly even violently.
When she was perplexed, her face always looked sharper, her chin longer. "If you've no feeling for the place," said Claude from the other room, "you can hardly expect me to hang around and take care of it. All the time you were campaigning, I played housekeeper here." Enid's eyes narrowed, but she did not flush. Claude had never seen a wave of colour come over his wife's pale, smooth cheeks.
With Mackay and the bag we stole to the dressing rooms, waiting until sure that everyone was downstairs. In Enid's chamber Kennedy glanced about carefully but swiftly. When nothing caught his attention he picked up her finger-nail file, gingerly, from the blunt end, slipping it into one of the little envelopes which Mackay held open.
"You may find some opposition in Enid's missionary motives. I don't know how she feels about that now. I don't enquire. I'd be pleased to see her get rid of such notions. They don't do a woman any good." "I want to help her get rid of them. If it's all right with you, I hope I can persuade Enid to marry me this fall."
"You are Miss West," she said "Cynthia West?" "Cynthia Westwood," replied the girl, and looked sorrowfully yet proudly into Enid's eyes. Her face was flushed, but Enid's had turned pale. "Will you stay and speak to me for a minute or two? I see that you were going out " "It does not matter; I need not go," said Cynthia, removing her hat and laying it carelessly on one of the tables.
"If you had seen the woman herself, Miss Vane, you would have been convinced of her sincerity," said the Rector. "Possibly. But only you two were there. The General will probably refuse to listen to Enid's testimony, and will fume himself into an apoplectic fit when he hears that she has any to give. You, Mr. Evandale, did not hear the woman's communication at all.
To-night I will speak to you as one of yourselves." Something in the tone something in the words struck a note of surprise and uneasiness. Again Bale-Corphew shot a swift glance at Norov, and old Michael Arian lifted his head and strained his sightless eyes towards the Throne, while Enid's hands tightened spasmodically on the back of the chair in front of her, and her lips parted in new fear.
And he was even sorry still without knowing why for little Dick, whose quaint childish face always expanded into a broad smile at the sight of him, and whom he often met in the village, clinging fondly to Enid's hand. When he dined at the Hall, he had scarcely seen Enid, for, on some plea of illness or fatigue, Mrs.
"I can't please her there's no use trying. Why does she treat me the way she does? Why does she sometimes almost seem to hate me?" Miss Enid's eyes involuntarily glanced at the picture of Eleanor's mother over the desk, taken in the doublet and hose of Rosalind. "Hush, child; you mustn't say such awful things," she said, drawing the girl close and stroking her hair. "Mother adores you.
