The appearance of the lights disclosed her, wet through with her arms round Anne's neck. Mrs. Inchbare digressed at once to the pressing question of changing the young lady's clothes, and gave Anne the opportunity of looking round her, unobserved. Arnold had made his escape before the candles had been brought in. In the mean time Blanche's attention was absorbed in her own dripping skirts.
When the mistress of Craig Fernie was duly announced to the mistress of Windygates, Lady Lundie developed a sense of humor for the first time in her life. Inchbare and the Spanish fowls. "Most ridiculous, Hopkins! This poor woman must be suffering from a determination of poultry to the brain. Ill as I am, I should have thought that nothing could amuse me.
Mistress Inchbare raised no objection to your taking any course you pleased with it. "Eh, man! send the bill whar' ye like, as long as ye pay it first. There's nae such thing as a newspaper ever darkens my doors.
Unless I am very much mistaken, Bishopriggs will come back to the inn. He left a terrible blank when he left my clerks' room. Mrs. Inchbare is not a woman to let her dignity stand in the way of her business. She and Bishopriggs will come together again, sooner or later, and make it up.
Inchbare, addressing herself exclusively to Arnold, "to see ye've got what ye want." "Oh! you are the landlady? Very nice, ma'am very nice." Mistress Inchbare had her own private motive for entering the room, and came to it without further preface. "Ye'll excuse me, Sir," she proceeded.
I can't keep a trifling matter of this sort in my memory send him at once, or I may forget it. He is to say I am willing to see Mrs. Inchbare, about the fowls, the first time she finds it convenient to come this way." "I am afraid, my lady Mrs. Inchbare's heart is so set on the black Spaniards she will find it convenient to come this way at once as fast as her feet can carry her."
Geoffrey's legal adviser a Scotchman of the ruddy, ready, and convivial type cordially met the advance. Had there been any difficulty in finding them? Not the least. Mrs. Inchbare was, as a matter of course, at her hotel. Inquiries being set on foot for Bishopriggs, it appeared that he and the landlady had come to an understanding, and that he had returned to his old post of headwaiter at the inn.
As to the past, I shall carefully complete the formal duties toward you which remain to be done. Mrs. Inchbare and Bishopriggs are coming here by appointment, at six this evening, to receive the money due to them before they go back. I shall return to Scotland myself by the night mail. The persons referred to, in the matter of the promise of marriage, by Sir Patrick, are all in Scotland.
Anne made a second attempt to speak. "This gentleman " she began. Arnold stopped her for the second time. "This gentleman?" repeated Mrs. Inchbare, with a broad stare of surprise. "I'm only a puir woman, my leddy d'ye mean yer husband here?" Arnold's warning hand touched Anne's, for the third time. Mistress Inchbare's eyes remained fixed on her in merciless inquiry.
But, really, this good creature starting up, and rushing here, as you say, as fast as her feet can carry her it's impossible to resist it! I positively think I must see Mrs. Inchbare. With my active habits, this imprisonment to my room is dreadful. I can neither sleep nor read. Any thing, Hopkins, to divert my mind from myself: It's easy to get rid of her if she is too much for me. Send her up."
