"I've got to have Cummins punch these again," he muttered; "or am I growing queer-legged in my old age?" As he straightened up, Miss Erroll said: "Here comes Mr. Fane now with a strikingly pretty girl. How beautifully they are mounted" smilingly returning Fane's salute "and she oh! so you do know her, Captain Selwyn? Who is she?"
And what I am here for is to ask you, as Mr. Erroll's friend, to use your influence on Mr. Erroll every atom of your influence to prevent him from ruining himself financially through his excesses.
For the summons was peremptory, and his obedience so immediate that a telegram to Austin comprised and concluded the entire ceremony of his leave-taking. Later he wrote a great many letters to Eileen Erroll not one of which he ever sent. But the formality of his silence was no mystery to her; and her response was silence as profound as the stillness in her soul.
Huntly and Erroll were subdued by James himself in the north, and Angus failed in an attempt upon Edinburgh in concert with the earl of Bothwell. Subsequently in 1597 they all renounced their religion, declared themselves Presbyterians, and were restored to their estates and honours.
The commodious lodgings in Russell Square awaited him, and Sir Victor "went in" for domestic felicity in the parish of Bloomsbury, "on the quiet." Very much "on the quiet" no theatre going, no opera, no visitors, and big Captain Jack Erroll, of the Second Grenadiers, his only guest. Four months of this sort of thing, and then and then there was a son.
'That's all right, boys, said the Honourable Patrick Erroll, Private of Dragoons. 'And now, Sergeant darlin', give me half-a-dozen rank and file, and, please God, well have a meal for Christmas morning. 'Now, I'm just as keen as any one of you, said Sergeant Jervase, 'and just as hungry; but be very quiet about the business, Paddy, and don't have a row with the Bashis, for the Lord's sake.
Though he was urged by many of the Scottish nobles to declare war he contented himself with angry speeches and protests that passed unheeded. Even many of the Presbyterian lords were ready to support him had he declared war, and Catholic noblemen like the Earls of Huntly, Erroll, and Crawford, Lord Maxwell, and Lord Hamilton, offered their assistance.
How stupidly superfluous was it to pretend to detect, in their comradeship, the commonplaces of sentiment as though such a girl as Eileen Erroll were of the common self-conscious mould as though in their cordial understanding there was anything less simple than community of taste and the mutual attraction of intelligence!
And what I'm going to do is to marry Miss Orchil. Now you know; now you understand. I don't care a damn about the Erroll boy; and I think I'll discount right now any intentions of any married man to bother Miss Orchil after some Dakota decree frees him from the woman whom he's driven into an asylum." Ruthven looked at him curiously: "So that is discounted, is it?" "I think so," nodded Neergard.
I'll just drop a line to Erroll to apprise him." He catches hold of his wife's writing-table to wheel it near. By some clumsiness his foot catches in one of its spidery claws, and with a crash it topples over. Away goes the writing case, flying open and scattering the contents far and wide. The crash shocks baby's nerves, baby begins to cry, and the new-made mamma flies to her angel's side.
