At a quarter to twelve children and idlers began to gather against the railings of Havill's house. A few minutes past twelve the noise of an arriving host was heard at the entrance to the town. Thereupon Dare and Havill went to the window. The X and Y Batteries of the Z Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, were entering Markton, each headed by the major with his bugler behind him.
'You said nothing to me about this? whispered the creditor to Havill, taking him aside, with a look of regret. 'You would not listen! 'It alters the case greatly. The creditor retired with Havill to the door, and after a subdued colloquy in the passage he went away, Havill returning to the office.
'Appoint Havill. 'Very well. Good night. And then he left her. In a short time she heard him go down and out of the house to cross to England by the morning steamboat. With a little shrug, as if she resented his interference in so delicate a point, she settled herself down anew to her book. One, two, three hours passed, when Charlotte awoke, but soon slumbered sweetly again.
Sometimes, in measuring the outworks of the castle, he ran against Havill strolling about with no apparent object, who bestowed on him an envious nod, and passed by. 'I hope you will not make your sketches, she said, looking in upon him one day, 'and then go away to your studio in London and think of your other buildings and forget mine. I am in haste to begin, and wish you not to neglect me.
Even should any legal settlement or offspring intervene to nip the extreme development of his projects, there was abundant opportunity for his glorification. Two conditions were imperative. De Stancy must see Paula before Somerset's return. And it was necessary to have help from Havill, even if it involved letting him know all. Whether Havill already knew all was a nice question for Mr.
'What's that noise? said Dare, awakened by the same rumble. 'It is the Artillery going away. 'From where? 'Markton barracks. 'Hurrah! said Dare, jumping up in bed. 'I have been waiting for that these six weeks. Havill did not ask questions as to the meaning of this unexpected remark.
'Because I keep your secret of the letter abusing Miss P., and of the pilfered tracing you carry in your pocket. 'It is quite true, said Havill. They went to bed again. Dare was soon asleep; but Havill did not attempt to disturb him again. The elder man slept but fitfully.
Dare's luminous mind. Havill had had opportunities of reading his secret, particularly on the night they occupied the same room. If so, by revealing it to Paula, Havill might utterly blast his project for the marriage. Havill, then, was at all risks to be retained as an ally.
'A lady to whom I have been a staunch friend, continued Havill, not heeding the interruption. At that moment sounds seemed to come from Dare which bore a remarkable resemblance to the words, 'Ho, ho, Havill! It was hardly credible, and yet, could he be mistaken? Havill turned. Dare's eye was twisted comically upward. 'What does that mean? said Havill coldly, and with some amazement.
'It is not necessary: we are friends, said Dare assuringly. Havill looked as if he would like to snatch the leaf away, but altering his mind, he said grimly: 'Well, I take you at your word: we are friends. That letter was concocted before I knew of the competition: it was during my first disgust, when I believed myself entirely supplanted. 'I am not in the least surprised.
