To Miss Garth's horror, Magdalen's arm was unmistakably round Frank's neck; and, worse still, the position of her face, at the moment of discovery, showed beyond all doubt that she had just been offering to the victim of Chinese commerce the first and foremost of all the consolations which a woman can bestow on a man. In plainer words, she had just given Frank a kiss.
Garth's youth, his previous good record, the conditions of the moment the continuous mental and physical strain of the days preceding his sudden loss of nerve all these things were urged by the 'prisoner's friend, and the sentence was commuted to one of cashiering." "It would have been better if he had been shot," said Sara dully. Then suddenly she clapped both hands to her mouth. "Ah h!
Garth's heart swelled with rage and mortification to think what a little distance had separated them during the night; and how by rising only three hours earlier, he might perhaps have caught them. But presently cooler counsels came to his aid; and when he considered the well-beaten track that led over the hill beyond, he was thankful for so much luck.
There was an expression of affectionate solicitude on his usually wooden face. "Better have one at once, sir," he said persuasively. "And I think you'll find the chicken sandwiches very good, sir, if you'll excuse my mentioning it." For a moment a faint, kindly smile chased away the look of intense weariness in Garth's eyes. "You transparent old fool, Judson!" he said indulgently.
Or does it take a woman's heart to understand a woman's letter? Did I read it badly? May I read it over again?" A look of real annoyance gathered upon Garth's face. He spoke with quiet sternness, a frown bending his straight black brows. "You read it quite well," he said, "but you do not do well to discuss it. I must feel able to dictate my letters to my secretary, without having to explain them."
Lecount's lips, self-forgetfully shutting up, owned they were too thin at the very outset of the interview. "I am surprised you can bear the light out-of-doors without a green shade," she quietly remarked; leaving the false Miss Garth's announcement of herself as completely unnoticed as it she had not spoken at all.
Oh, if I could see you as I have seen Norah! Speak to me, Magdalen try if you can speak to me." She tried, and spoke: "Norah," she said, "feels no remorse. He was not serving Norah's interests when he went to his death: he was serving mine." With that terrible answer, she put her cold lips to Miss Garth's cheek. "Let me bear it by myself," she said, and gently closed the door.
It roused in her the immediate instinct to defend, to range herself unmistakably on Garth's side against a world of traducers.
"If you see the young lady," proceeded Mrs. Lecount, "don't forget that note of mine, sir, which you have in your waistcoat-pocket." No more was said on either side, but by that night's post the housekeeper wrote to Miss Garth. The letter merely acknowledged, with thanks, the receipt of Miss Garth's communication, and informed her that in a few days Mrs.
"At first, I forgot. And when I remembered, I had been thinking of other things, and somehow ah, Miss Gray! I cannot sing to-night. My soul is dumb with longing." "I know," said Jane, gently; "and I am going to sing to you." A faint look of surprise crossed Garth's face. "Do you sing?" he asked. "Then why have you not sung before?" "When I arrived," said Jane, "Dr. Rob asked me whether I played.
