I'm afraid I should never think about whether you liked it or not, you know." "Good-night," said Dick. And when he got outside and was lighting his cigar, he exclaimed, "Confound the girl!" And after a pause he added, "Hang the fellow!" and shook his head and went home. In a short time it happened that Lady Eynesford conceived a high opinion of Mr. Coxon.
What does he want here?" asked the Captain. Mr. Coxon asked for Lady Eynesford. When he entered, she rose with a newspaper in her hand. "What a shocking, shameful thing this is!" she said. "What a blessing it is that the Government was beaten!" Coxon acquiesced in both these opinions. "I never thought well of him," continued the lady. "Now everybody sees him in his true colours.
No doubt my husband will communicate with you. Good-morning, Mr. Coxon," and Lady Eynesford performed her stiffest bow. "Good-morning, Lady Eynesford," he answered, in no less hostile tones, and very different was the man who slammed the gate of Government House behind him from the bland and confident suitor who had entered it half-an-hour before.
"Of course he has, Alicia," interposed Lady Eynesford hastily. Alicia seated herself on the sofa, remarking as she did so, "Well, you do change a good deal, don't you?" "Really, Miss Derosne," he stammered, "I don't understand you." "Oh, I only mean that you were first with Sir Robert, then with Mr. Medland, and now with Sir Robert again! And presently with Mr. Medland again, I suppose?"
He smiled his bitter smile again, and she turned away with her words unspoken. A silence followed. Coxon was wondering if his hint had gone too far. Lady Eynesford wondered how far he had meant it to carry. The idea of danger there was new and strange, and perhaps absurd, but infinitely disagreeable and disquieting. "Well, good-bye, Lady Eynesford," he began. "No, don't go," she answered.
"You don't ask seriously? Now do tell me what about the Ministry?" He sank his voice as he answered, "They can't possibly last a week." "You are sure?" "Certain, Lady Eynesford. They'll be beaten on Monday." Lady Eynesford, with a significant smile, beat one gloved hand softly against the other. "That can't be seen outside the carriage, can it? You mustn't tell of me! And we owe it all to you, Mr.
Lady Eynesford, Eleanor Scaife, and Alicia were standing at the gate. They had hardly seen the procession turn a corner and come into sight before Dick galloped up. "What is it, Dick?" cried Lady Eynesford. "Willie's not hurt?" "No it's it's Mr. Medland." Eleanor was standing by Alicia, and she felt a sudden clutch on her arm. "What has happened?" she asked.
Coxon's face lit up as he returned the salutation. Had his reward come already? He had been right then; it was not towards him as himself, but towards the Medlandite that Lady Eynesford had displayed her arrogance and scorn.
Perhaps I was wrong you can't tell with women, they always manage to get excited about something. I swear there was nothing before I came out, and there's no one here, and " "Mr. Kilshaw," announced Jackson. "I don't see what business it is of his," said Dick to his brother the next afternoon. "I call it infernal impertinence." Lord Eynesford differed. "Well, I don't," he said.
He didn't come down in the morning, and, as she couldn't make him hear, she forced the door, and found him with his throat cut." "Awful!" shuddered Lady Eynesford. "He looked such a respectable man too." "Ah, I fancy he'd gone a bit to the bad lately taken to drinking and so on." "He was a friend of Mr. Kilshaw's, wasn't he?" asked Alicia. "A sort of hanger-on, I think.
