The tears came to my eyes, and when Lady MacNairne asked what was the matter, I said impulsively that I couldn't help being frightened for our friend, doing his self-imposed duty so bravely by Nell's boat. Going back to the hotel, we were all miserable. Even Mr. van Buren seemed wretched, though I can't think why, as he said he was not anxious about the Jonkheer.
At first, when we went to Spaakenberg and the other places, before Lady MacNairne said that thing, she was agreeable to the Jonkheer in a brilliant, bewitching, coquettish sort of way, as though she wished after all to attract him. But since that evening at the Hotel Spaander, in Volendam, she has been quite subdued.
The Dutch called their settlement Younkers, Younckers, Jonkers or Yonkers, derived from Jonkheer, a common name for the male heir of a Dutch family. The old Philipse manor house, now Yonkers's City Hall, was erected about 1682, the present front being added in 1745. In its palmy days it is said to have sheltered a retinue of thirty white and twenty colored servants.
She'll be alone in the world with Tibe if you refuse to sacrifice yourself in this way for her." Nell's face was now white and set. I felt a brute; but what was I to do? For the sake of every one concerned, I couldn't have the L.C.P. exposed, or be exposed myself, and the trip broken up at the last, in contumely for all. I hung on her lips. "Where is Jonkheer Brederode?" she asked.
"That's because she feels guilty for being so disagreeable," I said; "and she would of course suffer dreadful remorse, poor girl, if he were drowned looking after her boat, as I pray he won't be." I began to understand now. Poor Mr. Starr was jealous of his friend, the Jonkheer. "Well, I wish she'd love me a little, then, as there's nobody else."
"In any case, it's pleasanter to drive from here to Hoorn and Enkhuisen," went on the Jonkheer, "and the only real reason for sticking to the boat even in fine weather would have been that you came to 'do' Holland in a motor-boat, and wanted to be true to your principles.
This is Miss Van Buren, the young lady who is engaged to marry Jonkheer Brederode!" he exclaimed. Nell bowed, thankful no doubt that his way of putting it relieved her of the necessity for words. "You said in Leeuwarden that you didn't know the two young ladies in Dutch costumes," my uncle-in-law flung at me. "You may have gathered that impression.
"And after dark, too," she added, as obstinately as if she had been a Frisian. "That is impossible," said Jonkheer Brederode, his mouth and chin looking hard and firm. Nell didn't say any more, though she shrugged her shoulders; but the expression of her eyes was ominous, and I felt that she was planning mischief. We walked out to the Kermess, which Lady MacNairne and Mr.
I was astonished, for neither Nell nor I had any idea that they knew each other; and I was still more startled, and horrified as well, to see Sir Alexander make a spring toward Jonkheer Brederode, as if he meant to strike him.
Through some careless word which gave a turn to the conversation, I discovered that Liliendaal is not the only house reigned over by Jonkheer Brederode, alias Alb. There's one at The Hague, but they "find Liliendaal pleasant in summer."
