Harry Kendal's low, musical voice sank to a lower cadence. He drew the slender figure of the girl nearer and that action was fatal. There was a quick, whizzing sound, followed by an awful cry of terror from Iris, and Kendal's hand, resting lightly about her waist, was deluged in blood. "Murder! murder! Oh, heavens!" shrieked Iris, and she fell at his feet in a swoon.
It was late, and the meal was not over before bed-time, when Albinia lingered to find remedies for Gilbert's toothache, pleased to feel herself making a commencement of motherly care, and to meet an affectionate glance of thanks from Mr. Kendal's eye.
Kendal's eyes as she rose, and she resolved to make an attack on the pond without loss of time. But Mr. Kendal was absorbed nearly all breakfast-time in a letter from India, containing a scrap in some uncouth character. As he finished his last cup of tea, he looked up and said, 'A letter from my old friend Penrose, of Bombay an inscription in the Salsette caves.
Gilbert Kendal ah! we will content ourselves with her having a paler shade sandy gold. 'No, said Gilbert, speaking slowly, turning round his eyes. 'I could tell you what Mrs. G. Kendal's hair will be Genevieve let this drop, and said, 'You do not want me: good-bye, Miss Sophie. 'Going! why, you came to read to me, Genevieve, exclaimed Sophy. 'Ah!
"I wonder that I never thought of that before. It seemed as though I was not missed," and a sigh trembled over the girl's pale lips as she spoke. A few moments later Kendal's step was heard in the corridor. Dorothy sprang eagerly to meet him, and threw her arms impulsively around his neck. Was it only her fancy, or did he draw back from the usual caress as though he did not care to receive it?
Kendal's plans were unpopular, and two or three untoward circumstances combined to lead to his being regarded as a tyrant. He could not do things gently, and had not a conciliating manner. Had he been more free spoken, real oppression would have been better endured than benefits against people's will.
Kendal's house was for more gentility called 'Willow Lawn. Gilbert was not to be found; but at four o'clock the whole party met at dinner, before the evening service. Gilbert could eat little, and on going back to the fire to roast his cheek instead of going to church, was told by his father, 'I cannot have this going on. You must go to Mr.
And with Kendal grinning from ear to ear over Mr. Jevons's delicious joke, and Jimmy waving his khaki cap in a final valediction, and Kendal's grin dying abruptly as he achieved the military salute he judged appropriate, we parted. Jimmy's last words to me, thrown over the gunwale, were, "Don't run after me, Furny. You won't catch me this time." Then I went back and told Viola about it.
The next post brought a penitent letter from Gilbert, submitting completely to his father; only begging that he might not see any one at home until he should have redeemed his character, and promising to work very hard and deny himself all relaxation if he might only go to a tutor at a distance. This did not at all accord with Mr. Kendal's views.
Sophy turned to her father, and with an odd dubious look, asked him, 'Is be teasing me? 'He'd be proud to have the honour, Ulick made answer, so that Mr. Kendal's smile grew broad.
