The hospital at Carton was mainly for privates, with a certain amount of accommodation for officers. He had done his best during the summer to be useful to some poor fellows, especially of his own regiment, on the Tommies' side. And he had lately come across some perplexing signs of a special thoughtfulness on Miss Farrell's part for these particular men.
"A great many things, just as Mr Farrell's knowledge of our characters and actions is far more extensive than you suspect. We meet at meals, and in the evening, and for the rest of the day one would imagine that we are beyond his ken, but I have discovered that to be a mistake.
She looked up startled her childish eyes full of tears. He held out his hand, and she could not help it, she yielded her own. Farrell's look was full of energy, of determination. He drew nearer to her, still holding her hand. But he spoke with perfect self-control. 'Nelly, I won't deceive you! I love you! You are everything to me.
Tom Cantrell's lean dark face of Indian cast lit up like a transparency when she arrived and he left Polly Farrell's side so quickly that Polly almost dropped the lemon fork with which she was maneuvering, in her surprise at his sudden desertion.
For himself, his path of duty lay clear to the Virginian's vision; like Labertouche's, it was the road to Kathiapur. He had no more doubt that Sophia had been conveyed thither than he had of Farrell's presence before him.
Oh! the cry rang through the room 'it's George! it's George! he's found! he's found! She thrust the telegram piteously into Farrell's hands. He read it, and turned to Bridget. 'What does Dr. Howson mean, Miss Cookson, and why does he refer Mrs. Sarratt to you? For some seconds she could not make her pale lips reply. Finally, she said 'That's entirely my own affair, Sir William.
"You are quite right," said Quarles; "we must be precise. You knew Miss Lester, of course?" "I did not see her until after Farrell's death, then I saw her several times. She seemed rather a charming person." "You have not seen her since her marriage?" "No." "I saw her the other day," said Quarles, "and I quite endorse your opinion.
We both agree her sister is no use to her. 'Let them think! he turned to her again with energy 'so long as you and I know. Besides I shan't compromise her in any way. I shall be most careful not to do so. 'Look at this room! said Hester drily. She herself surveyed it. Farrell's laugh had a touch of embarrassment. 'Well? mayn't anyone give things to a sick child? Hush! here she is!
She drew forward an armchair, poked the fire into a blaze, and laid Mr Farrell's hat and stick on the table, while he lay wearily against the cushions. He looked woefully exhausted, and Mollie's kind heart had a happy inspiration. "I shan't tell anyone that you are here until you have had a rest," she said assuringly.
A few words only were required to make the situation clear. Farrell's ability to injure and annoy the enemy largely depended on his leadership not being known. While taking part in every engagement, he always required his lieutenants to represent him in negotiations, so that up to this time, whatever the British might suspect, they had no positive proof that he was openly in arms against them.
