At last they reached the room, which she recognised. There were the same flowered chintzes, there was her portrait on the table. A sound of voices came from an adjoining apartment, and the woman stopped to listen, raising her finger with a gesture commanding silence. Suddenly a voice rang out, clear and peremptory. "Please ask Miss Harford to come here. Where is Goody? She will understand."
He died a few years ago. I did not know there was another Philippa." "James Harford!" echoed the woman. "That would be Mr. Jim." Philippa rose to her feet, and walking over to the dressing-table returned with a photograph in her hand. "This was my father," she said. "It is an old photograph." Mrs. Goodman looked at it. "Yes. Mr. Jim, we used to call him." "You knew my father?"
After parting with Mr. Cooper at the door, Cuthbert walked westward with Mr. Harford. "So far you have proved that your suspicions are correct, sir, and I have not the least doubt that your father's signature to the transfer was, like this, a forgery. May I ask what step you propose to take next? Of course if your object was not to prevent publicity your course would be clear.
A man who had been seated by the writing-table rose to meet her, an elderly man with grizzled hair and beard and thick overhanging eyebrows. "Miss Harford?" he said in a gruff, abrupt voice as he bowed. "Yes," answered Philippa. "You wished to speak to me?" "Please," he returned. "Won't you sit down? You must be tired, and I am afraid I must detain you for a little while."
"Don't let us talk of it; I dread the very idea of it." "Poor little hen with one chick," her husband laughed good-humouredly. "You will hardly recognise Dick, Miss Harford. He has grown enormously since you last saw him. Let me see that was three years ago, wasn't it?" "Very nearly three years ago, in Gibraltar," assented Philippa.
A slight blush suffused her cheek as she rose to receive him, and she appeared slightly embarrassed. Virginia was still beautiful, though no longer very young; she had an extremely fragile and delicate appearance, which is attractive to some men, notably to those who, like Lord Harford, are big, strong and robust.
"I am so thankful to hear you say that," she said, drawing a deep breath. "Shall I go on?" said Cheveril. She hesitated; and very quietly he held out his hand to her. "In the capacity of a friend," he said gravely. And Evelyn Harford put her hand into his with the confidence of a child. It was strange to feel her prejudice against this man evaporate at a touch. It made her oddly unsure of herself.
Love makes no mistake!" and all the while his eyes burnt into hers with an intensity of passion and of longing. "But yes " she faltered. It was difficult to find words against the ardour of his gaze. "Yes, I am Philippa Harford. I must have mistaken the room. Believe me, I am sorry "
Of these poems Wordsworth said, "So much meaning has been put by Michel Angelo into so little room, and that meaning sometimes so excellent in itself, that I found the difficulty of translating him insurmountable. I attempted at least fifteen of the sonnets, but could not anywhere succeed." How Mr. Harford has succeeded where Wordsworth failed, we will leave our readers to infer.
I think it was unjust, though I don't say it was not quite natural, but when the soreness wears off a bit, people will begin to think they have been rather hard on Brander. There's the surgery bell, now I must leave you to your own devices." At half-past eleven James Harford called, and Cuthbert at once went out with him, and they walked towards Mr.
