It is a confounded shame," lashing himself up to great wrath, "that it should have leaked out in this underhand fashion. May I ask how you got your information?" Malcolm considered for a moment; then he made up his mind that it was best to be perfectly open. "I had it from a man who knows the Jacobis. His name is Hugh Rossiter. He is a friend of the Godfreys." Cedric started.
"It is not surprising, of course, that many of Cedric's friends are unknown to me, for we move in very different circles. He has been raving about the Jacobis all the afternoon; but all the same I don't seem to focus them properly." "Cedric is going to stay with them next month," observed Dinah. "They have taken a house at Henley for some weeks.
He has always put his foot down as far as the Jacobis were concerned; he and my wife were dead against them." "I never believed in the man," observed Malcolm; "there was no ring of true metal about him." "You are about right there," returned the American; "but I have come across worse fellows than Saul Jacobi.
I trust" and here she looked at him anxiously "that you have no bad news for us." "I am afraid it is not good," he replied evasively. "It has something to do with those odious Jacobis?" Again Malcolm bowed his head. "Cedric seems infatuated about them," she returned, with something of her old impetuosity, the words tripping each other up in the usual Elizabethan way.
When the intelligence reached the Abouna that Lij Kassa was marching against Tigre, he publicly excommunicated him, on the ground that Kassa was the friend of the Roman Catholics, protected their Bishop, De Jacobis, and wanted to subvert in favour of the creed of Rome the religion of the land.
Elizabeth often stays at the Manor House. They get on splendidly together. And the Colonel is so charming. Oh, Mr. Herrick, I am relieved that you mentioned them. Henley is not far from Cookham, and I should think they must know something of the Jacobis." "I will ask Mrs. Godfrey directly I see her," he returned. "I am going to the Manor House next week."
Louise is in full commotion with all her goods and chattels, whilst the little Jacobis riot with father and grandfather over fields and meadows.
You know Cedric is to row in the Oxford and Cambridge race." "I am certainly aware of the fact," replied Malcolm drily. The Jacobis and the University race had been the two standing dishes with which Cedric had regaled him. "I have heard of little else, I can assure you. Well, he is a lucky fellow; it is not every one who gets the desire of his heart."
But no one seemed to know exactly, and the Jacobis are rather reticent about their own concerns. They seem to have a large visiting-list, and to know some big people." "And Miss Jacobi called here?" "Yes, Mrs. Sinclair brought her; but I confess I was somewhat embarrassed by the visit it has placed me in an awkward predicament.
"It was really very stupid of me; Cedric was quite put out about it." "Oh, well, it cannot be helped," observed Malcolm, philosophically. "Did he say much about the Jacobis?" "No, he only remarked that they had been very kind, and that he had had a rattling good time. Those were his words, were they not, Die?" and Dinah smiled assent.
