But I know that it is better as it is; he is safe there, with her now, far away from all his pain. He saw her when he was dying." Then after a pause she went on: "Uncle Francis, you love Ethelrida very much, don't you? Try to look back and think how Maman loved Mimo, and he loved her.
He did not seem to be even addressing Ethelrida. What could it be? "I believe we have made a mistake after all, Crow," Lady Anningford said disappointedly. "Look he is quite unmoved."
Then as he looked at the letter again he said meditatively: "I expect they will be awfully happy Ethelrida is such an unselfish, sensible, darling girl " And it hurt Zara even in her present mood, for she felt the contrast to herself in his unconscious tone.
And with immense dignity, she left him; and making her excuses with gentle grace to the Duke and Lady Ethelrida, she glided from the room. And Francis Markrute, as he watched her, felt his whole being wrung with emotion and pain. "My God!" he said to himself. "She is a glorious woman, and it will it must come right even yet."
I am so sorry you have had this trouble," Lady Ethelrida said, a little stiffly. "Bring it to the shoot. It will interest me to see it but you must not give it to me." And then she smiled graciously; and he allowed her to say good-bye, and drive on. And as he turned into Grosvenor Street he mused, "I like her exquisite pride; but she shall take the book and many other things presently."
He wrote a letter to Ethelrida, and his uncle-in-law that was to be. How ridiculous that sounded! He would be his uncle and Zara's cousin now, by marriage!
"But Lady Tancred is young and comes with us!" "And I will take care of her," announced Lord Elterton, looking sentimental much to Tristram's disgust. Ethelrida seemed to have collected a lot of rotters, he thought to himself, although it was the same party he had so enjoyed last year!
And Lady Ethelrida looked full at him and saw that the man's cold face was deeply moved and softened. "If that is so then I will speculate no more," she said. "Listen! I will trust you!" "You dear, noble English lady," the financier replied, "how truly I thank you!" And he let some of the emotion which he felt, gleam from his eyes, while he changed the conversation.
Francis Markrute would have gone to the City by now and was going to lunch with Ethelrida, so he telephoned to one of his clerks there finding he was out for the moment just to say he was called away for a week and would write later. She should have the first words with her uncle.
"I did, to-night, Anne and he answered, so strangely, that 'yes, there was something which at times troubled her, but it would pass." "Good gracious!" said Anne. "It can't be a hallucination. She is not crazy, is she? That would be worse than anything." "Oh, no!" cried Ethelrida, aghast. "It is not that in the least, thank goodness!"
