Had the occasion been more propitious, the Count could scarcely have refrained from commenting upon this remarkably republican criticism; but, as it was, he deemed it more advisable to hunt with the hounds. "That canaille!" he shouted. "Ha, ha! Lord Tulliwuddle would never so far demean himself!" "I have it from old Gallosh himself," declared Mr. Maddison.
In his present state of mind the Baron was capable of any indiscretion were he compelled to talk; while, silent and brooding in isolated majesty, he looked to perfection the part of returning exile. So, evidently, thought Mr. Gallosh. "His lordship is looking verra well," he confided to the Count in a respectfully lowered voice.
I understand the sentiment pairfectly. It's verra natural verra natural indeed." At that moment the Baron started from his reverie with an affrighted air. "Vat is zat strange sound!" he exclaimed. The others listened. "That's just the pipes, my lord," said Mr. Gallosh. "They're tuning up to welcome you." His lordship stared at the shore ahead of them.
Gallosh and myself great pleasure, and we will esteem it a distinguished honor, if you and your friend will be our guests at Hechnahoul Castle during the duration of your visit. Should you do us the honor of accepting, I shall send my steam launch to meet you at Torrydhulish pier and convey you across the loch, if you will be kind enough to advise me which train you are coming by.
"A very pretty little scene," he reflected, as he strolled out in search of others. "Though, hang me, I'm not sure if it ended in the right man leaving the stage!" This "second-fiddle feeling," as he styled it humorously to himself, was further increased by the demeanor of Miss Gallosh, to whom he now endeavored to make himself agreeable.
His artful eloquence seemed to impress his friend, for he smiled thoughtfully and did not reply at once. More persuasively than ever the Baron continued "I do believe mit patience and mit er mit kindness, Bonker, I might persuade Miss Gallosh to listen to ze proposal of Tollyvoddle. And vould it not be better far to get him a lady of his own people, and not a stranger from America?
"My lord," said Mr. Gallosh, approaching them, "would you be thinking of going soon? I've noticed Mr. Maddison's been taking out his watch verra frequently." "Certainly, certainly!" cried my lord. "Oh, ve have finished all ve have come for." Eva started, and even Mr. Gallosh looked a trifle perturbed. "Yes," added the Count quickly, "we have a very good idea of the heating system employed.
"It's an awesome place," whispered Mr. Gallosh. "I hardly thought it would have been as lonesome-like." There was a tremor in his voice that irritated the Baron. "Pooh!" he answered, "it is jost vun old piece of hombog! I do not believe in soch things myself." "Neither do I, my lord; oh, neither do I; but would you fancy a dram?" "Not for me, I zank you," said his lordship stiffly.
"And that girl Gallosh told Eleanor the same," added Ri. "Pooh!" cried the Count. "A mere invention." "You are certain, sir, that Lord Tulliwuddle gave them no grounds whatever for supposing such a thing?" "I pledge my reputation as Count of the Austrian Empire, that if my friend be indeed a Tulliwuddle he is faithful to your charming daughter!" Father and son looked at him shrewdly.
"Miss Gallosh has been remarkably fortunate in her weather," said Eleanor, and therewith gave him an uninterrupted view of her sunshade. "Miss Maddison has seen you to great advantage, Lord Tulliwuddle," said Eva, affording him the next instant a similar prospect of silk. The unfortunate chief recoiled from this ungrateful reception of his kindness.
