"You see I have dared to take possession of the premises in your absence," he said. "Mr. Errington?" cried Katherine, her heart suddenly bounding, and then beating so violently she could hardly speak. "How where did you come from?" "From London, to enjoy a brief breathing-space from pressure of work welcome as it generally is!
Errington did not answer. He stood still, as if some new train of thought had been suddenly suggested to him, and Katherine waited serenely for his next words, when Miss Bradley, who had not interrupted her conversation, or noticed the new-comers in any way, suddenly turned her face toward them, and said, with something like command, "Mr. Errington!" Errington immediately obeyed.
"So you count upon that already, do you? Ah! . . . but do you know which of us shall die first!" Then raising her voice with an effort she exclaimed "Stand forth, Thelma Gueldmar! Let me see you closely face to face!" Errington said something in a low tone, and the bonde would have again interfered, but Thelma shook her head, smiled and rose from her seat at table.
This is indeed a heavy scandal and a sore burden to my soul, for up to this time I have, in spite of many faults in your disposition, considered you were at least of a most maidenly and decorous deportment, but now now! to think that you should, of your own free will and choice, consent to be the plaything of this idle stroller from the wicked haunts of fashion, the hour's toy of this Sir Philip Errington!
How calm, how unmoved, he seemed amid the wreck of his fortunes. Yes, his was true strength the strength of self-mastery. How different, how far nobler than the vehemence of De Burgh's will, which was too strong for his guidance! But Lady Alice could never have loved Errington never or she would have loved on and waited for him till the time came when union might be possible.
"Well, perhaps he's got good reason." Diana shook; her head smilingly. "Oh, no. It's not that. Mr. Errington doesn't like me." Jerry stared at her reflectively. "That couldn't be true," he said at last, with conviction. "I don't know that I like him very much either," pursued Diana. "You would if you really knew him," said the boy eagerly. "He's one of the very best."
"Come," he said earnestly, "come, you must listen to my music; perhaps you can tell me what it means." He picked up his smouldering torch and held it aloft again; then, beckoning Errington to follow him, he led the way to a small grotto, cut deeply into the wall of the cavern. Here there were no shell patterns.
"I've been strumming on the organ, and Lady Errington has been good enough to listen to me." "You do not strum" said Thelma, with gentle reproach. "You play very beautifully." "Ah! a charming accomplishment!" observed Sir Francis, with his under-glance and covert smile, as they all three wended their way out of the library.
It struck her as an odd coincidence that Baroni should be acquainted both with Miss de Gervais and with Errington, and at her next lesson she ventured to comment on the former's visit. Baroni's answer, however, furnished a perfectly simple explanation of it. "Mees de Gervais? Oh, yes, she sings a song in her new play, 'The Grey Gown, and I haf always coached her in her songs.
Once on deck, Sigurd gazed about him perplexedly. He had brought his bunch of pansies with him, and he fingered their soft leaves thoughtfully. Suddenly his eyes flashed. "You are alone here?" he asked abruptly. Fearing to scare his strange guest by the mention of his companions, Errington answered simply "Yes, quite alone just now, Sigurd." Sigurd took a step closer towards him.
