But the truth is, it's unmaidenly truth. For I am Mrs. Harry Boyce. Give me joy." "Joy!" my lady gasped. "It's unworthy! It's cruel! Oh, Geoffrey, Geoffrey! How dare you?" She was again understood to faint. Through the rustle of Arabella and the odours of scent came the explosions of Sir John, swearing. Mr. Hadley moved forward, and, ignoring Alison, addressed himself to Harry.
"I am truly glad to hear that she is convalescing. What do you think is the state of her feelings in certain delicate matters?" "I am persuaded her good opinion of Hadley has received a shock from which it will never recover. That letter, in connection with his present disappearance, was too much for her faith." "And well it might be!
Sir Henry Harcourt was married and took his bride to Paris and Nice; and Sir Lionel Bertram tried to get married, but his bride bride as he hoped her to have been ran away by herself to Hadley. In the meantime George Bertram lived alone in his dark dull chambers in London. He would fain have been all alone; but at what was perhaps the worst moment of his misery, his father came to him.
"That means?" said Hadley hoarsely. "That everything we do is known to the intelligence of the stratosphere! That every move we make is watched!" "God!" said Hadley. Then Hadley straightened. His jaws became firm, his eyes lost their fear. He was like a good soldier receiving orders. "All the power of the press will be massed to get the country to back your suggestions, Jeter.
George; sent to say that he wants to see you again at once, particular." There was nothing of course for Mr. George to do but to obey, seeing that the order was so particular. On that same evening, therefore, he put his dressing-things into a bag, and again went down to Hadley. On his first arrival his uncle shook hands with him with much more than ordinary kindness, and even joked with him.
Out there was a twelve-story building, and its lighted windows were moving not to right or left, but straight up! The movement gave the same impression which passing windows give to one in an elevator. Either that other building was rising straight into the air, or the Hadley building was sinking into the Earth. "Quick, Hadley!" yelled Jeter. "To the roof the fastest way possible!"
The police at once locked the prisoner up in a cell, sent for a surgeon, and asked Andy to telegraph to Mr. Giles Harding, the circus owner, at once. When Andy came out of the police station, he found the boy who had assisted him waiting for him. He was a bright-faced, pleasant-mannered lad, but his appearance suggested hard luck. Andy gave him a dollar, and got his name. It was Mark Hadley.
One by one the casualties are lifted in or climb in stiffly. Our Jock, who has a bullet in his chest, is lifted in. Straps are fastened securely and tarpaulins tied. 'All aboard, sir! 'Right! Well, so long, Hadley! 'Cheero, Scott! The ambulances start very cautiously, and crawl up the road. It is in execrable condition, for work in daylight here is impossible.
"D'ye give us leave to remain and see that these fellows show no impudence?" "Oh, sir, you are very obliging," says my lady superciliously. Mr. Hadley bowed, and withdrew to the recess of a window with Sir John following. "Here's a queer thing, Charles. Did ever you know Master Geoffrey was a Jacobite?" Mr. Hadley shook his head. "Nor this Colonel Boyce neither?"
"Something out of the ordinary seems to be happening all the while to us." "Well, it's better than monotony." "I suppose so. But I wonder what it will be next?" The boys were congratulated on their success by Mr. Hadley and Mr. Ringold, and the films, when developed and printed a little later, furnished a series of fine views. For the next week the boys had little time to themselves.
