I always had an idea that he wanted to marry Angela, and sometimes I am afraid that I have suspected that Philip Caresfoot carted me off in order to give him a chance. You see, Philip is uncommonly fond of money, and George is rich." "What an absurd idea, Mr. Heigham! Why, George looks upon matrimony as an institution of the evil one.
But surprises, like sorrows, come in battalions, a fact that he very distinctly realized when, having helped himself to some chicken, he heard a clear voice at his side address him by name. "Mr. Heigham," said the voice, "I have not yet thanked you for your kindness to Miss Terry.
But Mildred was a woman of keen insight into character, and it did not require that her powers of observation should be sharpened by the condition of her affections, to show her that, however deeply she might be in love with Arthur Heigham, he was not one little bit in love with her.
"No, I believe that I have plenty of money of my own now." "Oh! yes, under your marriage settlement, no doubt. Well, my dear, I am sure I hope that your journey will not be in vain. Did I tell you I have also written to Mr. Heigham by this mail, and told him all I knew about the matter?" "That is very kind and thoughtful of you; it is just like you," answered Angela, gently.
Heigham!" she said, in an awed voice that chilled his blood, "what has brought you back, and why do you come to me? I never wronged you." "What are you talking about? I have come to marry Angela, of course. We are going to be married to-morrow." "Oh, then it's really you, sir! And she married yesterday oh, good God!" "Don't laugh at me, nurse please don't laugh. It it upsets me.
Heigham," struck in Lady Bellamy, in her full, rich tones, "had a severe threatening of chest disease, and the doctor recommended a trip to some warmer climate. Unfortunately, however, his business arrangements will not permit of a long stay. We only stop here three weeks at most." "I am sorry to hear that you are not well, Sir John."
That last one you got is just like the boy who used to drive my donkey at Cairo the one that died, you know I believe they just stuffed him, and said that he was an ancient king. Ancient king, indeed!" And Miss Terry departed, in search for more beetles. "Now, Mr. Heigham, you must follow me. The museum is not in the house. Wait, I will get a hat."
"I think," said Arthur, "that I will ask you to take my things up to the hotel. I will come by-and-by. I should like the same room I had before, if it is empty." "Very good, Mr. Heigham. You will have the place nearly all to yourself now."
Seeing what she had done, Angela turned and fled after her father. As for Arthur, the scene was too much for his risible nerves, and he fairly roared with laughter, whilst even Lady Bellamy went as near to it as she ever did. George rose white with wrath. "Mr. Heigham," he said, "I see nothing to laugh at in an accident." "Don't you?" replied Arthur.
"I do not believe that that is true, or, if it is true, it is not all the truth; but, true or untrue, I am not going to discuss Mr. Heigham with you, or allow myself to be influenced by stories told behind his back." "Angela," said George, rising, and seizing her hand. She turned quite pale, and a shudder passed over her frame. "Leave my hand alone, and never dare to touch me again.
