Once at Eyvie Castle, which he had taken October 14, they did surprise him; but, with his 1,500 foot and 50 horse, he made a gallant stand, so that they, with their 2,500 foot and 1,500 horse, had no advantage. As much of this time as he could give was spent by him in the Marquis of Huntley's own domain of Strathbogie, still in hopes of rousing the Gordons.
Yorke, our behaviour has been a pattern for young ladies mine, and Huntley's, and Yorke's. We don't care to lose a chance." Tom Channing nodded sagaciously as he concluded, and they left the room to him and Charles. "Now, Constance, that we have a moment alone, what is this about you?" began Mr. Yorke, as they stood together in the garden.
"I know I am hot-tempered," confessed Tom. "I cannot help it, papa; it was born with me." "Many of our failings were born with us, my boy, as I have always understood. But they are to be subdued; not indulged." "Papa, you must acknowledge that it is a shame if Pye has promised the seniorship to Yorke, over my head and Huntley's," reiterated Tom, who was apt to speak as strongly as he thought.
Jarvis, and Estella, warm-hearted and loyal as she was in spite of many faults, seemed arrayed against her to force her to yield. The other letter was in Mr. Huntley's best formal and semi-pompous style. He, too, began in a slightly aggrieved tone. He did not know until lately that Miss Gordon was not coming back to Toronto at once.
He telephoned just before supper. And I'm to have all expenses paid beside, and nothing but Dagoes and Chinamen to dope." He had taken off his boots by this time and was rummaging in the bedroom for his slippers, never pausing a moment in his talk. "Huntley's a gentleman all right, isn't he?
He knew by the manner of John's ascent that there was something grand and glorious doing. "What's up now? You came up that stairs like an automobilly-goat. Is the house on fire?" John leaped across the room, threw his cap upon the floor, and had poured out his good news before he got his overcoat off. "Isn't that the dandiest luck?" he finished up. "I've just been down at Huntley's office.
The scornful as well as undaunted expression of his countenance had changed to one of painful intensity; he took her hand within his, and pressed it to his lips, without articulating a single syllable. Slowly she moved her face, so that their eyes encountered in one long mournful look. Ten years of continued suffering could not have exacted a heavier tribute from Grace Huntley's beauty.
When he left the hall, Ellen Huntley's cheeks were glowing, and certain sweet words were ringing changes in her ears. "Ellen! they shall never take you from me!" A week or two passed by, and November was rapidly approaching. Things remained precisely as they were at the close of the last chapter: nothing fresh had occurred; no change had taken place.
The velvet boy proved a source of valuable information, being very willing to talk. Of course, he knew Mr. Coulson. He had often seen him in Mr. Huntley's office; he was fine fun and could tell dandy stories. And Mrs. Jarvis, for whom Elizabeth was called, was his mamma's aunt.
"How comfortable you look! how cold it is! Algy!!" For the enigma of the noise is solved. It was Algy who shuffled and scuffled yes, scuffled up from the low stool which he has evidently been sharing with the pretty shoes at Mrs. Huntley's feet, on to his long legs, on which he is now standing, not at all at ease. He does not answer.
