The aisle of the old church of Slains contains the graves of Countess Mary and her husband, with an epitaph in Latin, of which the following is a translation: "Beneath this tombstone there are buried neither gold nor silver, nor treasures of any kind, but the bodies of the most chaste wedded pair, Mary, countess of Erroll, and Alexander Hay of Dalgaty, who lived peaceably and lovingly in matrimony for twenty-seven years.
If you spill that milk on me I shall ask your Uncle Philip to put you in the guard-house!" "You're going to bolo us, aren't you, Uncle Philip?" inquired Billy. "It's my turn to be killed, you remember " "I have an idea," said Selwyn, "that Miss Erroll is going to play for you to sing." They liked that.
"Miss Erroll did not send me," he said, flushing up. And, looking steadily into the smiling doll's face confronting him, he knew again that he had failed. "I am not inclined to be very much flattered after all," said Rosamund. "You should have come on your own errand, Captain Selwyn, if you expected a woman to listen to you. Did you not know that?"
Shrinking from the clamouring tumult of his thoughts he looked around, hard-eyed and drawn of mouth, to find Miss Erroll riding a length in advance, her gaze fixed resolutely between her horse's ears. How much had she noticed?
Gerard's pretty ward at the theatre last night Miss Erroll. She certainly is stunning " Selwyn flattened out the letter and deliberately tore out the last paragraph. Then he set it afire with a match. "At least," he said with an ugly look, "I can keep her out of this"; and he dropped the brittle blackened paper and set his heel on it.
He stood a moment at the window watching the brougham below where Nina awaited Miss Erroll. Then, abruptly, he turned back into the room and picked up the telephone receiver, muttering: "This is no time to mince matters for the sake of appearances." And he called up Gerald at the offices of Neergard & Co. "Is it you, Gerald?" he asked pleasantly.
"I am, of course, obliged to believe that you are mistaken," he said; "a man cannot choose but believe in that manner. . . . There is no very young girl nobody, old or young, whom I like as thoroughly as I do Eileen Erroll. She knows it; so do you, Nina.
Oh, a boy's best friend is his mother!" "Billy!" gasped Miss Erroll. Selwyn, mortified, said severely: "That is a very dreadful song, Billy " "But you taught it to me " Eileen swung around on the piano stool, but Selwyn had seized Billy and was promising to bolo him as soon as he wished.
"I've heard so pleasantly of you from Gerald Erroll," he said, "and of course our people have always been on cordial terms. Neither Mrs. Fane nor I was fortunate enough to meet you last Tuesday at the Gerards such a crush, you know. Are you not joining us, Captain Selwyn?" as the servant appeared to take orders.
Once or twice the excitement of solicitude sent the colour flying into Selwyn's temples; the bridle-path was narrow and stiff with freezing sand, and the trees were too near for such lively manoeuvres; but Miss Erroll had made up her mind and Selwyn already had a humorous idea that this was no light matter. The horse found it serious enough, too, and suddenly concluded to be good.
