In the morning she rode or took some form of skilled exercise in which she knew Graydon to be proficient, and she rarely missed her ocean bath. Such health was she acquiring that it was becoming a joy in itself. As with all earnest, constant natures, however, her supreme motive grew stronger with time. In August she received tidings from the East that caused much solicitude and depression.
Graydon found that Madge had retired, so that there was no chance for him to speak to her that night; but his mind was in too happy a tumult to give her much thought. Mrs. Muir came into Madge's room for a bit of the gossip that she dearly loved, but, as usual, obtained little information or surmise from the young girl.
You know that, in my present plans and hopes, I looked forward to receiving you as a partner at no distant time, if such purposes are carried out our interests must always be identical." "Pardon me, Henry," said Graydon, warmly, "and do not misunderstand my hasty words. I know you have my best welfare at heart you have ever proved that but you misjudge my choice.
"It's awfully good of you, Madge. The children have been so frightened that I've been up here all the evening. You seem to have better luck in quieting Jack than any of us." "He'll be good with me. Go down at once, and don't worry. You have hardly had a chance to see Henry." "You will come down again after Jack goes to sleep?" "Yes, if I feel like it." Graydon soon discovered Mrs.
The words presented to her one who was either calculating or capricious, either heartless or fickle. "Truly," she thought, "if there was ever a man who merited whole-hearted, lifelong constancy, it is Graydon Muir; and if he even imagines Miss Wildmere incapable of this, why should he think further of her?
"Not conscience, but another organ, controls our action chiefly, I imagine," she replied, with a glance that gave emphasis to her words of the previous evening, and she passed smilingly on. Arnault soon followed her, spoke pleasantly to Graydon, and, having obtained a morning paper, was at once absorbed in its contents.
And in simple truth it will be a long time before the ache for that poor creature will go out of my heart. It came very close home, Graydon very close. It brought to mind another girl, who was once scarcely stronger or better than Tilly Wendall is to-day, but God was kind. Tilly also has great black eyes, and they do look so large and pathetic in the wan little face!
Graydon Bansemer was among them, weak and distrustful of his own future albeit a medal of honour and the prospect of an excellent position were ahead of him. His discharge was assured. He had served his country briefly, but well, and he was not loath to rest on his insignificant laurels and to respect the memory of the impulse which had driven him into service.
I have upon more than one occasion cautioned Mr Graydon, but in vain, to be more prudent. The Methodist Society of England is likewise endeavouring to establish a School at Cadiz, and by that means to make conversions.
Graydon shook hands with the old man. Droom followed him into the hall. "If you ever need a friend, Graydon," he said in a low voice, "call on me. If I'm not in jail, I'll help you." Half an hour later Graydon rang the Cables' doorbell. "Miss Jane is not seeing anyone to-day, sir," said the servant. "Say that I must see her," protested the young man, "I'm going away to-night." "So is she, sir."
