I'll go down and get my supper, and call for Master Baby by and by." Mrs. Pool descended to the servants' hall, to narrate, of course in confidence, to her most particular friends, the scene she had just overheard. There was Welsh rabbits for supper nurse was particularly fond of Welsh rabbits and in discussing it and Miss Inez's awful temper half an hour slipped away.
Did Inez know of the dark, sinister suspicion against herself? Could she know and be calm like this? "I forgot to ask for Uncle Godfrey," Inez's quiet voice said again. "Of course he is better, or even at such a time as this you would not be here?" "He is better, Inez," she broke out desperately. "Who can have done this? She had not an enemy in the world. Is is there any one suspected?"
She was very angry she stamped her foot once and said: 'If you don't go instantly I'll call my husband. Between you and your sister you will drive me mad. When she said that, he guessed at once, who the big furrin-looking man was. It was Miss Inez's brother, Mr. Juan Catheron.
There is no doubt but you and your brave fellows have been the means of preserving us both from a very terrible fate; and, as I have said, you shall not find me ungrateful. I am not going to give my unconditional consent to Inez's marriage with you not yet at least, that would be rather too absurd.
"But, I never dared spend a nickel for no show. Me aunt would have scalped me sure she would!" Mr. Sherwood had seen Inez's aunt that afternoon, at his little daughter's request, and found that the woman dared make no objection as to their disposal of the child. In fact, she seemed a good deal relieved that kind friends had been raised for Inez.
Many were brought forward who could swear how she had hated my lady; how she had taken every opportunity to insult and annoy her; how again and again my lady had been found crying fit to break her heart after the lash of Miss Inez's stinging tongue.
She hates Miss Inez she has hated her from the first and she loved my lady. Ah! who could help being fond of her poor, lovely young lady! with a sweet smile and pleasant word for every one in the house? And you know Miss Inez's high, haughty way. Jane Pool hates her, and will do her mischief if she can. A word from you might check her. No one knows the harm a babbling tongue may do."
Here was indeed a confirmation of every fear. He was about to leave the place, never to return, when he heard a stifled shriek from Inez's chamber. In an instant, the fellow that stood at the foot of the ladder lay prostrate on the ground. Antonio wrested a stiletto from his nerveless hand, and hurried up the ladder.
You take all the great facts of existence on trust just as a hen does and I've no doubt you'll go on contentedly till the end of your days, without ever knowing why the ocean has tides, and what causes the seasons. It makes me ashamed to belong to the same sex." Inez's classmates tittered furiously, let the sarcasm glide over them, unhit by its truth.
Inez's heart misgave her; she knew not but some new treachery was menacing her; she laid her cold hand on the stranger's arm: "Whither are you leading me?" said she. "To liberty," replied the other, in a whisper. "Do you know the passages about this mansion?" "But too well!" replied the girl, with a melancholy shake of the head.
