Do you know that I was to have married Mistress Royal?" Harwin assented again. "Who told you?" "Mistress Archdale." "Ah! yes, the little golden-haired one that thinks herself such a beauty." "She is infinitely more than she can think herself," cried Harwin. Edmonson turned upon him a look of malign triumph. "Ah!" he said. "You suffer, too." He was silent for an instant.
Did you see what happened a minute ago?" he went on in stifled tones. "I shot her, and he carried her out, not the yellow-haired one, oh, no, but, Did you see his face?" he hissed with a look that made Harwin draw back at its fierceness. "But we shall be even; we will fight."
He sipped hastily, without thirst, and handed back the cup. "Thank you," he said. As she turned away, her hand was trembling again. She swept her eyes in the opposite direction from Harwin if he should still be there. Edmonson, after a long glance at her, lay watching him. Here was his evil genius. But for Harwin what would not have been?
"Deeply interesting," returned Harwin with all the traditional respect of an Englishman for his sovereign. Archdale's lip curled a trifle at what seemed to him obsequiousness, but Harwin was not looking at him. "Stephen has been," pursued Katie, "and he says it was very fine, but for all that he does not seem to care at all about it. He says he would rather go off for a day's hunting any time.
The soldier on the bed next his, who had spent a good part of his thirty years of life in a fishing-smack, who knew nothing of books beyond what the common-school education had given him, and less of any life but his own venturesome calling, who beyond knowledge of the sea and its dangers had been taught only by the quickness of his own wit and the honor of his own heart, this man, as he turned attentive eyes upon the approaching figure, Harwin involuntarily glanced at.
The Archdale connection had always been a dream of his, until lately when this new possibility had superseded his nephew's interest in his thoughts. There was an address and business keenness about Harwin that, if Stephen possessed at all, was latent in him. The Colonel was wealthy enough to afford the luxury of a son who was only a fine gentleman.
Kenelm Waldo was in the West Indies, trying to escape from his pain at Katie Archdale's refusal, but carrying it everywhere with him, as he did recollections of her; to have lost them would have been to have lost his memory altogether. Ralph Harwin also had gone.
That winter morning, therefore, the guests were ready to inveigh against the sin of unseemly jesting, to hope that all would be well, and to shake their heads mournfully. "Harwin!" cried Master Archdale as he heard the name of the writer; "it seems impossible. I liked that man so much, and trusted him so much.
In a flash the future that he had planned, a thousand times more blissful than his former dreams, came up before him, and, fading, left the present all the more blank. His wounded right arm moved convulsively. Harwin remained still where Elizabeth's last repulse had left him. He seemed trying to swallow his chagrin, and wrap the tatters of his dignity about him before he moved away.
I can't describe it in Master Harwin, but I feel it. Somehow, he would rather Stephen would die, or I should, than have us marry." "Did he ever say so?" "Why, no, but you can feel things that nobody says. And, then, there is something else, too.
