Enid, full of fear while the fight was raging, felt gladness and sorrow when she saw how nobly her husband had smitten these torturers with justice, and she said that of a truth she had been wrong, and that there was no sloth in his heart, no weakness in the strong arm of her lord.
There was an accent in his voice which impressed Enid painfully. She clasped her hands rather tightly together in her lap, and said, after another pause, in a lower tone "I dare say I should grow fond of it if I lived there." "As you will do, in time," said Hubert, with a smile.
They left Gladys and her flowers and cresses at the gate of the white cottage, now half hidden by gaudy trumpet vines. Claude turned his car and went back along the dim, twilight road with Enid. "I usually like to see Gladys, but when I found her with you this afternoon, I was terribly disappointed for a minute. I'd just been talking with your father, and I wanted to come straight to you.
"Whom would you call my friend?" said Enid, almost passionately. "Not a man like my poor uncle, duped, blinded, deceived by any one who chooses to cajole him? Not a woman like his wife, who hates me, and wants me out of the way lest I should claim a share of the estate? Oh, I know what I am saying I know too well!
"Thou hast neither youths nor maidens to serve thee," said he. "Truly," she replied, "it is more pleasant for me to follow yonder man, than to be served by youths and maidens." "I will give thee good counsel," said he: "all my earldom will I place in thy possession, if thou wilt dwell with me." "Enid, the pilot star of my lone life, Enid, my early and my only love." Enid.
But this Enid resolved not to seem to know. "Parker," she said quietly, "I am thinking of going to London. Will you come with me?" "Yes, miss, that I will to the end of the world if you like!" was the unexpectedly fervent response. But Enid showed no surprise. "Can you tell me about the trains? What is the earliest?" "There's one at six, miss; but you wouldn't start so early as that, would you?"
Now, get along before I compel you." Enid stood with fury in her eyes and clenched hands as Littimer slunk away out of the house, Henson following between his victim and Williams. He said no words till the lodge-gates were past and the growl of the dogs had died into the distance. "We are going to Littimer Castle," said Henson. "Not there," Littimer groaned "not there, Henson!
Geraint frowned as he saw her coming to speak to him, but Enid said bravely, 'There are three knights in front of us. They say they will fight with you. 'I do not want your warning, said Geraint roughly, 'but you shall see I can fight. Sad and pale, Enid watched the three knights spring suddenly out of their ambush and attack her lord.
The man hesitated. To speak the truth would be to explain all. Therefore he only shook his head and said, "Please do not ask me to explain a matter of which I am not permitted to speak. If you believe me, Enid," he said in a low, pleading voice, "do heed my warning, I beg of you!"
When Enid came to the cottage Marion became her slave and served her hand and foot. But the probability is that she saw through the Siren what there was to see through a good deal more sharply than her father did. Atherstone took a garden chair beside her, and lit his pipe. He had just been engaged in drafting an important Liberal manifesto.
