Harbert had filed his charges and the hasty visit of the reporter proved that David Cable was an instrument in them. The blood surged to his head; he staggered under the shock of increased rage. "Graydon is against me! They've won him over! Open the door, damn you! I want my son!" He shouted the demand in the face of the startled servant as he pushed rudely past him.
A glimmering perception that her manner was not calculated to inspire a lover at last dawned on Miss Wildmere, and with it came a faltering purpose to decide in favor of Graydon at once; but as she turned toward him, to speak with what was meant to be a bewildering smile of joy, a messenger from the office said, "A telegram, miss." Graydon frowned, and then laughed outright.
He checked himself suddenly with the remembrance that his son had turned against him the night before, and his face hardened. Graydon found him standing stern and unfriendly before the steam radiator in the darkest corner of the room, his hands behind his back. The young man plumped down heavily in his father's desk chair. "Why didn't you come home last night?" demanded the other.
The poor lady smiled encouragingly and gratefully. She would be most happy to have Graydon take the brilliant creature for better or worse as soon as possible. She liked him, as did all women, for she saw that he had a large, kindly nature. She now stole meekly away, while he with his fair partner glided out upon the floor.
Calm yourself. It will be some time before the story is forthcoming. Besides, I doubt very much whether you'll get any great satisfaction out of it, although it may clear things up a bit for you. If you've been hoping that your father and mother well, we'll take our time. Here are the oysters. Oysters make me think of your father, Graydon.
Under a renewed impulse of loyalty Graydon intercepted Miss Wildmere as she was going to her room, and said: "The clouds in the west are all breaking away they ever do, you know, if one has patience. We can still have our drive and enjoy it all the more from hope deferred." "I'm so sorry," she began, in some embarrassment.
Come;" and she started for the house. As they passed in at the door he said, in a low, deep tone, "You cannot put me off much longer, Stella." "No, Graydon," she whispered, hurriedly, and hastened to her room.
After maintaining friendship true and strong for years, it hurts me to be misjudged now." "But, Miss Wildmere " he began, impetuously. "Hush," she said, hastily; then added, a little coldly, "if I am not worthy of a little trust I am not worthy of anything." Graydon was touched to the quick.
There also was mention of the fact that the young woman had immediately broken her engagement with James Bansemer's son. There were pictures of the leading characters in the drama. "I can't stay in Chicago after all this," exclaimed Graydon, springing to his feet, his hands clenched in despair. "To be pointed out and talked about! To be pitied and scorned! To see the degradation of my own father!
It would have been in every way deplorable had Borrow severed his connection with the Bible Society as a result of the Graydon episode. Borrow had been impulsive and indignant in his letters to Earl Street, Mr Brandram, on the other hand, had been "a little partial," and on one or two occasions must have written hastily in response to Borrow's letters.
