The debate in the House of Lords was carried on by the Opposition with great spirit and brilliancy. Lord Hervey defended the policy of the Government with dexterity. Possibly he made as much of the case as could be made of it. The motion for the address was carried by seventy-one votes against fifty-eight a marked increase of strength on the part of the Opposition.
All I can tell you is, that no lover is in the case, upon my honour and now, if you should ever mistake curiosity in your own mind for jealousy, expect no pity from me." "I should deserve none," said Clarence Hervey; "you have made me the happiest of men." "The happiest of men! No, no; keep that superlative exclamation for a future occasion.
The doctor now followed Belinda, and satisfied himself by ocular demonstration, that this cabinet was the retirement of disease, and not of pleasure. It was about eight o'clock in the morning when Dr. X got home; he found Clarence Hervey waiting for him. Clarence seemed to be in great agitation, though he endeavoured, with all the power which he possessed over himself, to suppress his emotion.
Hervey, upon his first entrance, appeared prepared to support an air of philosophic composure, which forsook him before he had walked across the room. He seemed overpowered by the kindness with which Lady Delacour received his congratulations on her recovery struck by the reserve of Belinda's manner but not surprised, or displeased, at the sight of Mr. Vincent.
"Hervey declares that you murdered Bolton, stole the manuscript from him, and concealed it in your room," said Archie succinctly. "I can't suggest any other reason for its presence in the room," observed the American with a grim smile. "If I'm wrong, perhaps this almighty aristocrat will correct me." Random was about to do so, and with some pardonable heat, when he was anticipated by Donna Inez.
He, too, lit his pipe and leant back in his chair. "I hope the amount is not too overwhelming. If I can er be " Hervey interrupted him eagerly. He brought his hand down heavily upon the table. "By Jove! you are a good sort, George. If you could just a loan, of course you see I can offer you security on my certain inheritance of the farm "
"You seem to think it doesn't amount to much," Hervey complained. "I think it amounts to a whole lot," Tom said. "When I get my mind on a thing " Hervey announced. "That's the trouble with you," Tom said.
Lady Delacour's quick eye saw curiosity painted in Belinda's countenance, and for a moment she was embarrassed; but she soon recovered herself, and endeavoured to turn the course of Miss Portman's thoughts by whispering to her some nonsense about Clarence Hervey a cabalistical name, which she knew had the power, when pronounced in a certain tone, of throwing Belinda into confusion.
Then he lifted the hanging body how light a weight it was! and placed it in a chair, where it doubled over, limp as a loosely stuffed scarecrow. Hervey tossed more wood on the fire and when he turned again, Perris was showing the first signs of returning consciousness, a twitching of his fingers. After that his senses returned with astonishing speed.
It is easy enough to mystify the simple human mind, but dogs' instincts are purely practical, and, as Hervey argued, ghosts do not leave a hot scent. Neche had lit upon a hot scent. At first the man had been doubtful as to what that scent was.
