I thought it might be, that Janet and her loud champion had come to particular terms, a supposition that touched me with regrets for Temple's sake. But Heriot was not looking pleased. It happened that whatever Janet uttered struck a chord of opposition in me.
Got from the Court at half-twelve, and walked to the extremity of Heriot Row to see poor Lady Don; left my card as she does not receive any one. I am glad this painful meeting is adjourned. I received to-day £10 from Blackwood for the article on The Omen.
'Well, if I pick up a gentleman, I can't be doing a bad business, said the man, hauling him in tenderly. Heriot sung to me in his sweet manner, 'Good-bye, little Richie. Knock when five minutes are over. God bless you, dear little lad! Leg 'll get well by morning, never fear for me; and we'll meet somehow; we'll drink the Burgundy. No crying. Kiss your hand to me. I kissed my hand to him.
The damsel blushed, but not so angrily as before. Master George Heriot hastened to interrupt the conclusion of Sir Mungo's homely proverb, by introducing him personally to Lord Nigel. Sir Mungo could not at first understand what his host said, "Bread of Heaven, wha say ye, man?"
'Simply revolting, agreed Miss Heriot. 'Poor little man! laughed Jean, 'and he thought he was being so agreeable! 'Instead of which it was you. Miss Levering said the curious words quite pleasantly, but so low that only Jean heard them. The girl looked up. 'Me? 'You had the satisfaction of knowing you had made yourself immensely popular with all other men. The girl flushed.
'Flick your whip at her, she 's a charitable soul, Judy Bulsted! She knits stockings for the poor. She'd down and kiss the stump of a sailor on a stick o' timber. All the same, she oughtn't to be alone. Pity she hasn't a baby. You and I'll talk it over by-and-by, Harry. Kiomi was spoken of, and Lady Maria Higginson, and then Heriot. 'M-m-m-m rascal! hummed the squire.
In a moment Heriot was on his feet, jumping up as if he had been stung; his pale, short-sighted eyes narrowed till they were mere slits, and through them he darted a quick, suspicious glance at the extraordinary out-at-elbows figure before him. Then he threw back his head and laughed till the tears streamed down his cheeks and his sides began to ache.
We grimaced a little on her behalf, but had nothing to reply. Seeing Janet after Mabel was strange. In the latter one could perceive the palpably suitable mate for Edbury. I felt that my darling was insulted no amends for it I had to keep silent and mark the remorseless preparations going forward. Not so Heriot. He had come over from the camp in Ireland on leave at this juncture.
A moment later her gay look fell. 'What? Not Aunt Lydia! Oh-h! She glanced back reproachfully at Lady John, to find her making a discreet motion of 'I couldn't help it! as the party from the garden came in. The greetings of the Freddys were cut short by Mrs. Heriot, who embraced her niece with a significant warmth. 'I wasn't surprised, she said sotto voce. 'I always prophesied
We roamed the neighbourhood talking old school-days over, visiting houses, hunting and dancing, declaring every day we would write for Heriot to join us, instead of which we wrote a valentine to Julia Rippenger, and despatched a companion one composed in a very different spirit to her father.
