Ingelow who gave her the information, and the occasion was a brilliant ball. Mollie had often heard of the Welsh baronet, but this was the first time she had encountered him at a ball or party. "I thought that Sir Roger Trajenna never accepted invitations," she said, opening and shutting her fan. "This is the first time I ever saw him at a private party."
I want to end this matter. I want to know who you are." "My precious Mollie, your husband!" "But who are you?" "One of your rejected suitors." "But which of them? there were so many." "The one who loved you best." "Pshaw! I don't want trifling! What is your name?" "Ernest." "I never had a lover of that name," said Mollie, decidedly. "You are only mocking me. Are you are you Hugh Ingelow?"
Ingelow looked up. "Will it do?" she asked. "Yes. Am I to deliver it?" "If you will add that kindness to your others. I don't think he will seek me out. He knows better than that." Her head dropped against the side of the carriage. The face usually so sparkling looked very, very pale, and worn, and sad. The young artist took her hand and held it a moment at parting.
"I never thought it was you," Mollie said, in a voice of still despair. "Oh, yes, you did. You dreaded it was me you hoped it was that puppy, Ingelow, confound him! Why, Mollie, he doesn't care for you one tithe of what I do. See what I have risked for you reputation, liberty, everything that man holds dear." "And you shall lose them yet," Mollie said, between her clinched teeth.
And the sentinel was also gone, none knew whither. Perhaps the old man had turned his golden cup into a golden key. By Jean Ingelow More than a hundred years ago, at the foot of a wild mountain in Norway, stood an old castle, which even at the time I write of was so much out of repair as in some parts to be scarcely habitable.
Sardonyx, Hugh Ingelow, and one or two more wiseacres, all anxious about the missing bride. The bevy of gentlemen were assembled in the drawing-room, conversing with solemn, serious faces, and many dubious shakes of the head. Sir Roger sat the picture of pale despair. Mr. Walraven looked harassed half to death. The other gentlemen, were preternaturally grave. "It is of no use."
Ingelow smiled. "That question has an extraordinary sound. One doesn't hear it often in a life-time. If I were a sorcerer, as you accuse me of being, I might perhaps answer it. As it is, I leave it to your own woman's wit to discover." "My woman's wit is completely at a loss," said Mollie, despairingly. "If ever I do find out, and I think it likely I shall, the divorce law will set me free.
"I am going to spend the morning in the blue room, Margaret," she said; "and I expect four gentlemen to call Sir Roger Trajenna, Mr. Ingelow, Doctor Oleander, and Mr. Sardonyx." "Yes, miss," said Margaret. "Sir Roger you will show at once into the blue room," pursued the young lady; "Mr. Ingelow into the library: Doctor Oleander into the drawing-room, and Mr. Sardonyx into the breakfast-parlor.
Sharpe; the back seat, if you please. Miss Dane and I will sit in front and shield you from the inclemency of the weather." "Much obliged to you, sir," Mrs. Sharpe said, dryly, obeying orders, nevertheless. "I'll sit back with Mrs. Sharpe," said Mollie, sensitively shrinking. "You'll do nothing of the sort!" retorted Mr. Ingelow, authoritatively. "You'll do precisely as I tell you! You and Mrs.
The way you devoted yourself to that young man last night set everybody talking." "Let 'em talk," responded Miss Dane, loftily. "When Mr. Ingelow followed me all the way from New York, I think it was the very least I could do in common politeness. He found it a waste and howling wilderness without me yes, he did; he said so. And then, Mr. Walraven, I like him." "You like him?"
