"But would that be quite honourable, Mr. Heigham under the conditions of your engagement, I mean?" "You never promised not to talk about me; I only promised not to attempt verbal or written communication with Angela." "Well, I will tell her that I met you, and that you are well, and, if Philip will allow me, I will tell her more; but of course I don't know if he will or not.
And then came Miss Terry, pleased with all her honest heart to see him, and utterly ignorant of the fierce currents that swept under the smooth surface of their little social sea. Miss Terry was not by nature a keen observer. "Dear me, Mr. Heigham, who would have thought of seeing you again so soon? "Oh, I assure you your favourite bay was enough to turn anybody's hair grey, Miss Terry."
Either from sheer mischief, or from curiosity to see what would happen, she insisted upon stopping, as the dance drew to a close, by Mildred's corner. That lady, however, proved herself equal to the occasion. "Mr. Heigham," she said sweetly, "do you know that that was our dance?" "Oh, was it?" he replied, feeling very much a fool.
Caresfoot, and then look at me, and say whether or not I look old. And who is the young man? Her lover, I suppose at any rate, he looks like it; but please introduce me." "Angela," said Philip, crossing to the window where they were talking, "let me introduce you to Lady Bellamy. Mr. Heigham Lady Bellamy."
"Well, I thank yer, for seventy-two, that is, not particular ill." "Have you a gentleman of the name of Heigham staying here?" "I am he," said Arthur, "do you want me?" "No, sir, only the station-master at Roxham asked me to drop this here as it was marked immediate," and he handed Arthur a box.
Carr herself, and by her side, her martial cloak around her, lay Miss Terry, still as any log. "Mr. Heigham," said Mrs. Carr, in a voice that sounded across the water like a silver bell, "I forgot that you will not be able to find your way to my place by yourself to-morrow, so I will send down a bullock-car to fetch you; you have to travel about with bullocks here, you know.
"As you like; but I tell you that I can never consent;" and Philip took his leave. "Your cousin entirely refuses his consent, and Angela is by this time probably engaged to your ex-ward, Arthur Heigham," was Lady Bellamy's not very promising report to the interesting invalid in the dining- room.
Is my nose Oh, I beg your pardon," and Mrs. Carr stopped short, observing for the first time that he was talking to strangers. "Do not let me detain you, if you are in a hurry. I am so thankful that nobody is hurt," said Lady Bellamy. "I believe that we are stopping at the same hotel, Mr. Heigham, I saw your name in the book, so we shall have plenty of opportunities of meeting."
The fact is, that ten thousand of his money is on the Jotley property, and both Bellamy and myself are anxious that it should stop there for the present, as if the mortgage were called in it might be awkward." "Is he well off?" "Comfortably; about a thousand a year; comes of an old family too. Bellamy and I knew his father, Captain Heigham, slightly, when we were in business.
"My dear George," was her rejoinder, "let this little adventure teach you that it is not wise for middle-aged men to indulge in gallantries towards young ladies, and especially young ladies of thews and sinews. Good-night." At the same moment the footman announced that the dog-cart which Arthur had ordered was waiting for him. "Good-by, Mr. Heigham, good-by," said George, with angry sarcasm.
