He left her to proceed to Captain Kirton's room, thinking that he and his wife might have been happy together yet, but for that one awful shadow of the past, which she did not know anything about; and he prayed she never might know. But after all, it would have been a very moonlight sort of happiness. The months rolled on, and Lord and Lady Hartledon did not separate.
I could not, somehow, whilst the child lay dead in the house. She shall know it shortly." "And what about dismissing the countess-dowager? You will do it?" "I shall be only too thankful to do it. All my courage has come back to me, thank Heaven!" The Countess-Dowager of Kirton's reign was indeed over; never would he allow her to disturb the peace of his house again.
Thence homewards, and meeting with Mr. Kirton's kinsman in Paul's Church Yard, he and I to a coffee-house; where I hear how there had like to have been a surprizall of Dublin by some discontented protestants, and other things of like nature; and it seems the Commissioners have carried themselves so high for the Papists that the others will not endure it.
Putting the young lady's arm within his own, without word or ceremony, he took her off to a distance: and old Lady Kirton's skirts went round in a dance as she saw it. "I am about to take him in hand, Anne, and set him going again: I have promised Dr. Ashton. We must get him a snug berth; one that even the doctor won't object to, and set him straight in other matters.
What business had you to allure him off again in that miserable boat, once he had got home?" "Don't trample me down, please," he indignantly returned; "I am as cut up as you can be. Hedges, hadn't you better get Lady Kirton's maid here? I think she is going mad."
Among others at Paul's Churchyard, and while I was in Kirton's shop, a fellow came to offer kindness or force to my wife in the coach, but she refusing, he went away, after the coachman had struck him, and he the coachman.
Hedges hesitated. He was privately asking himself whether the law would allow the stranger, if he had come after any debt of Lord Hartledon's, to refuse to leave the house, once he got into it. "I could ask Lady Kirton, sir, if you particularly wished it." "Lady Kirton? You have some one in the house, then!" "The Dowager Lady Kirton's here, sir.
"They went out this afternoon, my lord: and have not come in, I believe." "There, that will do," tartly interposed the dowager. "You don't know anything about it, and you may go." "Lady Kirton, where are the children?" "Where you can't get at them, I say," was Lady Kirton's response.
You couldn't find any excuse for your husband's staying in London, and so invented this. What with you, and what with Kirton's ingratitude, I shall be driven out of house and home!" "I won't say another word until you are calm and can talk common sense," said Maude, leaning back in her chair, and putting down her prayer-book. "Common sense! What am I talking but common sense?
