Swiftly she compared the two that loved her, and shivered as if she had been tossed to the embrace of a block of ice. 'You are cold, Rose, said Laxley, bending to lay his hand on her shoulder. 'Pray, never touch me, she answered, and walked on hastily to the house. Entering it, she remembered that Evan had dwelt there. A sense of desolation came over her.
'That will do, said Laxley, lacking the magnanimity to despise the advantage given him, 'you have chosen the very best means of saving your skins. 'We 'll come to you when our supply of clothes runs short, added Harry. 'A snip! 'Pardon me! said Evan, with his eyes slightly widening, 'but if you come to me, I shall no longer give you a choice of behaviour. I wish you good-night, gentlemen.
'Why are you not courting Mrs. Evremonde, naughty Don? 'Oh! she's occupied castle's in possession. Besides ! and Harry tried hard to look sly. 'Come and tell me about her, said the Countess. Rose, Laxley, and Evan were standing close together. 'You really are going alone, Rose? said Laxley. 'Didn't I say so? unless you wish to join us? She turned upon Evan.
A stranger to Love's cunning, she marvelled why he should desire to witness the scorn Rose would feel for him. 'If she's not asleep, then, she shall hear it now, said her ladyship. 'You understand that it will be mentioned to no other person. 'Except to Mr. Laxley, madam, to whom I shall offer the satisfaction he may require. But I will undertake that.
'Why, if I were to tell my Miss Rose some things of him, Polly went on, 'she'd never so much as speak to him another instant. 'What did he say? Evan repeated. 'I hate him! cried Polly. 'It's Mr. Laxley that misleads Mr. Harry, who has got his good nature, and means no more harm than he can help. Oh, I didn't hear what he said of you, sir.
'Yes. I did. And now he was weak, and she was strong, and used her strength. 'I wrote it to save you. Yes. Call on your Creator, and be my judge, if you dare. Never, never will you meet a soul more utterly devoted to you, Evan. This Mr. Forth, this Laxley, I said, should go, because they were resolved to ruin you, and make you base. They are gone. The responsibility I take on myself.
Presently the two youths were seen bowing in the stiff curt style of those cavaliers who defer a passage of temper for an appointed settlement. Harry rushed off to them with a shout, and they separated; Laxley speaking a word to Drummond, Evan most judiciously, the Countess thought joining his fair sister Caroline, whom the Duke held in converse. Drummond returned laughing to the side of Mrs.
The chairman's neighbour, Drummond, whispered him 'Laxley will get up a row with that fellow. 'It 's young Jocelyn egging him on, said the chairman. 'Um! added Drummond: 'it's the friend of that talkative rascal that 's dangerous, if it comes to anything. Mr. Raikes perceived that his host desired him to conclude.
'I am at your disposal, said Evan. Rose nodded briefly. 'I think I'll smoke the trees, said Laxley, perceptibly huffing. 'You won't come, Ferdinand? 'I only offered to fill up the gap. One does as well as another. Rose flicked her whip, and then declared she would not ride at all, and, gathering up her skirts, hurried back to the house. As Laxley turned away, Evan stood before him.
'Yes, said the Countess, 'and then you give people full warrant to say it was jealousy drove you hence; and you do but extinguish yourself to implicate dear Rose. In love, Evan, when you run away, you don't live to fight another day. She was commanded not to speak of love. 'Whatever it may be, my dear, said the Countess, 'Mr. Laxley has used you ill.
