"I thought that you would come," she said, and a smile shone upon her face. Durrance laughed suddenly as they shook hands, and Ethne wondered why. She followed the direction of his eyes towards the violin which lay upon a table at her side. It was pale in colour; there was a mark, too, close to the bridge, where a morsel of worm-eaten wood had been replaced. "It is yours," she said.
There are two points to be added. He was rather afraid of his daughter, who wisely kept him doubtful whether she was displeased with him or not, and he had conceived a great liking for Harry Feversham. Harry saw little of him that day, however. Dermod retired into the room which he was pleased to call his office, while Feversham and Ethne spent the afternoon fishing for salmon in the Lennon River.
"I used to think that they would be the last words I should hear when I turned my face to the wall. But you have given me others to-day wherewith to replace them." "Thank you," she said quietly. There was nothing more to be said, and Feversham wondered why Ethne did not rise from her seat in the pew. It did not occur to him to talk of his travels or adventures.
There were women, pretty, graceful, even beautiful, but Ethne stood apart by the particular character of her beauty.
I know friends of yours, Mrs. Adair Durrance, for instance; and of course I knew " A glance from Ethne brought him abruptly to a stop. He began vigorously to push the nose of his boat from the sand. "Of course, what?" asked Mrs. Adair, with a smile. "Of course I knew of you, Mrs. Adair." Mrs.
Now at all events he expected an answer. Mrs. Adair, still standing by the window, heard him move in the shadows. "Ethne!" he said, with some surprise in his voice; and since again no answer came, he rose, and walked towards the chair in which Ethne had sat. Mrs. Adair could see him now. His hands felt for and grasped the back of the chair.
Besides, for the credit of their regiment they are likely to hold their tongues when they return. Who else?" "Dermod Eustace and and Ethne." "They will not speak." "You, Durrance perhaps, and my father." Sutch leaned back in his chair and stared. "Your father! You wrote to him?" "No; I went into Surrey and told him."
Surely, thought Willoughby, he sees. His eyes were upon them; he stood easily, as though he were about to speak. Even Ethne, though she very well knew that he did not see, began to doubt her knowledge. "Ethne!" he said again, and this time in the quiet voice which he had first used. But since again no answer came, he shrugged his shoulders and turned towards the creek.
Adair waited for a more definite explanation of the mystery, but she got none. "Well?" he asked. "They stayed there for a long while. You had gone home across the fields before they came outside into the open. I was in the garden, and indeed happened to be actually upon the bank." "So you saw Captain Willoughby. Perhaps you spoke to him?" "Yes. Ethne introduced him, but she would not let him stay.
There had been an accent of wariness and caution in his voice, which was hatefully familiar to Durrance's ears, for just with that accent Ethne had been wont to speak. Moreover, Durrance had set traps, that remark of his "for no obvious reason, I think I said," had been one, and a little start here, or a quick turn there, showed him that Willoughby had tumbled into them.
