I know I tried to. Won't you shake hands, Sir Everard, and part friends?" "Miss Hunsden will always find me her friend if she ever needs one. Farewell!" Again he was turning away. He would not touch the proffered palm. He was so deathly white, and his voice shook so, that the hot tears rushed into the impetuous Harrie's eyes. "I am so sorry," she said, with the simple humility of a little child.
If it would seem at first sight that Everard had less excuse for such frivolity than his friend, perhaps the seriousness he showed in this interview may throw a different light upon the complex character of the man. "You're quite sure you don't care for anyone but me?" he asked earnestly. "Of course not, sir!" Polly replied indignantly. "How could I?"
With this purpose, Everard again conjured his cousin, in the name of Heaven, to give up this idle and dangerous mummery; and lending an accurate ear to her answer, endeavoured from the sound to calculate as nearly as possible the distance between them.
Cameron, "only the testimony of those who identified the mother, that there was no child with her, and no child among any of those saved answering to the description given, from which we naturally supposed the little one to have been killed outright. Why, Everard," he exclaimed, as a new thought occurred to him, "you certainly do not think this Edna's child, do you?"
There remained still quite enough of mental and nervous excitement to make her think quickly; the words were hardly out of the maid's mouth before her resolution was taken. It would never do to let Leonard Everard see she was diffident about meeting him; she would go down at once. But she would take the precaution of having her aunt present; at any rate, till she should have seen how the land lay.
I've helped Milner to do it before, so I can manage. It's a bother we left the spare wheel at home. I shall want some of you to help me, though." Everard had indeed rendered some assistance to the chauffeur on various occasions, but it was quite another matter to perform the troublesome operation of changing the tire with only two girls and three young brothers to lend a hand.
"There is more than imagination in it," said Everard. "I have personal reason to know there is some conspiracy carrying on, to render the house untenable by the Commissioners.
"Away with you, then," said Tomkins; "speak not to his worship you see he is not in the humour." "Indeed," observed Colonel Everard, "he looks singularly wan his features seem writhen as by a palsy stroke; and though he was talking so fast while we came along, he hath not opened his mouth since we came to the light." "It is his manner after such visitations," said Tomkins.
Repeat me these verses again, slowly and deliberately; for I always love to hear poetry twice, the first time for sound, and the latter time for sense." Thus encouraged, Everard recited again the lines with more hardihood and better effect; the knight distinctly understanding, and from his looks and motions, highly applauding them.
"And now," said Clara at length, yet without attempting to disengage herself, "now that we are united, I would be alone with my brother. My husband, leave me." Deeply touched at the name of husband, Sir Everard could not refrain from imprinting another kiss on the lips that uttered it.
