"Miss Rothesay, I I don't intend going away, believe me!" Christal turned quickly round. "What are you saying, Mr. Derwent?" He hung his head and looked foolish. "I mean that Brighton is too gay, and thoughtless, and noisy a place for me I would rather stay at Harbury." "You fickle, changeable, sentimental creature! I wouldn't be a man like you for the world!"
Captain Rothesay had intended to make the business-excursion wait on that of pleasure if pleasure the visit could be called, which was entered on from duty, and would doubtless awaken many painful associations; but he changed his mind, and it was not until his return from London, that he stayed on the way, and sought out the village of Harbury.
Siddons criticize either myself or my father directly, but I understood with the utmost clearness that he found my father indolent and hesitating, and myself more than a little bit of a mollycoddle, and in urgent need of pulling together. Harbury went on with that process of suppressing, encrusting, hardening, and bracing-up which Mr. Siddons had begun.
"It was very wrong and unkind," said Mrs. Gwynne in real annoyance. "Oh, no, not at all," was all that Olive murmured. She took Ailie on her knee, and hid her face upon the child's curls. "Ah, dear Miss Rothesay, you must come back soon," whispered the little girl. "We can't do without you. We have all been much happier since you came to Harbury; papa said so, last night." "Did he?"
One moment her heart melted, thinking of the garden at Oldchurch, the thorn-tree at the river-side, and afterwards of the long-closed grave at Harbury, over which the grass waved in forgotten silence. Then, pressing Ailie to her bosom, she resolved that while her own life lasted she would be a faithful and most loving mother unto poor Sara's child. A Mother!
"I do not know what you mean, sir. I shall go up to town at once and see Harbury about this matter. It is in his hands " "Not now," interposed Hubert. "The Queen " "The Queen will hear reason, sir! I will make my way to her presence, and speak to her myself. She will not refuse the prayer of an old man who has served his country as long and as faithfully as I have done.
