It's a pity, however, you didn't take my advice." "I suggested it to Lady Heyburn. But she would have nothing to do with it. She declared that such a course was far too dangerous." "Dangerous!" echoed the shabby man. "Surely it could not have placed either of you in any greater danger than you are in already?" "She didn't like it." "Few people do," laughed the other.
Within a year, however, by reason of various remarks made by people in her presence, and on account of the cold disdain with which Lady Heyburn treated her afflicted father, vague suspicions were aroused within her, suspicions which gradually grew to hatred, until she clung to her father, and, as his eyes and ears, took up a position of open defiance towards her mother and her adventurous friend.
"For you!" the girl gasped, amazed. "Yes. The plot was undoubtedly this " "There was no plot," protested Flockart, interrupting. "This girl killed Edna Bryant through intense jealousy." "I repeat that there was a foul and ingenious plot to kill me, and to entrap Miss Heyburn," Hamilton said.
Near Crieff Junction station the lands of Glencardine and Connachan march together; therefore both Sir Henry Heyburn and his friend, Sir George Murie, had looked upon an alliance between the two houses as quite within the bounds of probability. If the truth were told, Gabrielle had never looked upon any other man save Walter with the slightest thought of affection.
Krail held Lady Heyburn in distinct distrust. He had once had dealings with her which had turned out the reverse of satisfactory. Instinctively he knew that, in order to save herself, if exposure ever came, she would "give him away" without the least compunction.
"My dear girl, you don't follow me," he exclaimed impatiently. "This has nothing whatever to do with Lady Heyburn. I have come to you from purely personal motives. My sole desire is to effect your return to Glencardine." "For your own ends, Mr. Flockart, without a doubt!" she said bitterly. "Ah! there you are quite mistaken.
Then, returning to where stood the young and attractive woman in pale pink chiffon, with diamonds on her neck and a star in her fair hair, he looked her straight in the face and asked, "Well, and what have you decided?" She raised her eyes to his, but made no reply. She was hesitating. The gems upon her were heirlooms of the Heyburn family, and in that grey light looked cold and glassy.
E poi m'ha detto con un bel sorriso; Io no, non posso star da te diviso, Da te diviso non ci posso stare E torno per mai pin non ti lasciare. Miss Heyburn sighed, and looked up from her work. "Can't you sing something in English, Gabrielle? It would be much better," she remarked in a snappy tone. The girl's mouth hardened slightly at the corners, and she closed the piano without replying.
"Though Lady Heyburn may be your friend, I am quite sure even she would never for a moment countenance such a dastardly action as this!" cried the girl, crimsoning in anger. "You come here, accept my father's hospitality, and make pretence of being his friend and adviser; yet you are conspiring against him, as you have done against myself!"
"I suppose Lady Heyburn is at the villa at San Remo as usual, and that it was she who sent you to me, because she recognises that you've both gone a little too far. You have. When the opportunity arises, then I shall speak, regardless of the consequences. Therefore, Mr. Flockart, I wish you good-evening;" and she turned away. "No, Gabrielle," he cried, resolutely barring her path.
