'The very antipodes, as Harrison would say! Guess again. 'Help me, Mr. Fotheringham, she began; but Arthur, with a tremendous start, exclaimed, 'Hollo! if that is not a shame! How I wish I had said what a shocking bad match it is! 'You think so, do you? said Percy, advancing, and heartily shaking Arthur's ready hand. 'Oh! that is your look-out, said Arthur, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh, well, we can't all be as critical as you, dear Cousin Isabel! But, anyway, Oliver admires Miss Mallory extremely. We can all see that." The girl turned a steady face on her companion. Mrs. Fotheringham was conscious of a certain secret admiration. But her own point of view had nothing to do with Miss Drake's.
To his sister he wrote a letter so full of warm affectionate gratitude for her exertions in his behalf, that she was positively soothed and refreshed, and reckoned the more on beginning with him the fraternal union so long delayed, but to which she looked as the solace of her future life. As to Percival Fotheringham, there was no further explanation of his marriage.
'Is Fotheringham in town? 'No; he is gone to Paris. 'Then it is humbug, as I thought. I met that precious Miss Gardner in the train going to Worthbourne, and she would have me believe you were getting up a match between those two! A fine story, not a year since he proposed to Theodora! There was she congratulating me on the satisfaction it must be to Mrs. Martindale!
All speculations were put to flight, however, by the entrance of the luncheon tray, containing nothing but slices of cold mutton and bread and butter. With a grievous look of dismay, and lamentable exclamation, she began to pour out explanations and apologies, but the gentlemen seemed too intent on conversing about Mr. Fotheringham either to hear her or to perceive anything amiss.
Fotheringham shook his head in reply. "Does that mean there is none, or you don't know?" Again the messenger shook his head. "Well, I reckon your right, all silver, too heavy and don't amount to much." As he was talking, the whistle of the engine suddenly sound two short notes, and the air-brakes were applied. The train stopped, and the noise of men walking on the gravel was heard.
Not a word, not a look, ever referred to Mr. Fotheringham. Violet thought it inexplicable, and could only suppose that Theodora had been under some delusion, and had never known the meaning of love, for there was nothing like sorrow or disappointment; she almost seemed to be glad of her release. It was a trial when the Review was published, containing the critique upon modern poetry.
It tallied with the description given by Fotheringham of the valise into which Jim Cummings had put the stolen money. Gathering his trophies together, Chip bid his talkative lady friend good-day, and immediately bent his steps toward the drug store, from which had come the bottle of liniment.
Fotheringham, you have not brought me the amber mouth-piece I desired John to tell you of. 'Not I. I don't bring Turks' fashion into Christian countries. You ought to learn better manners now you are head of a family. Theodora entered, holding her head somewhat high, but there was a decided heightening of the glow on her cheek as Mr. Fotheringham shook hands with her.
His frame, though small, was compact and muscular, but his face lacked both the determination of Roe and the frank, open expression of Cummings. After scrutinizing the forgery for a time, Roe returned it to Cummings and said, "Jim, who has the run out on the Frisco when you make the plant?" "A fellow named Fotheringham, a big chap, too.
