How John Lenox tried to kill time during the following two months, and how time retaliated during the process, it is needless to set forth. It may not, however, be wholly irrelevant to note that his cough had gradually disappeared, and that his appetite had become good enough to carry him through the average table d'hôte dinner.
Lenox and I are wise in our generation and do not fly to the city when the first birds go south; that I want Madeline to come and pay me a visit; that, as a kind of sugar-plum, a chromo, if you please, to induce her to buy my wares, I propose that you and Mr. Norris should join us on the Sunday of next week. What do you say?"
And now, after an unusually daring raid, the peace-loving Kirghiz of the district had appealed to the Indian Government for protection and help. Lenox, with his little escort of six Gurkhas and one Pathan, was to enter this stronghold of brigands; reason with their chief, and bind him down to good behaviour for the future.
John Jacob Astor was just becoming an established and solid business man, and dwelt at 223 Broadway, the present site of the Astor House, and which was one of the earliest purchases which led to the greatest landed estate in America. Robert Lenox lived in Broadway, near Trinity Church, and was building up that splendid commerce which has made his son one of the chief city capitalists.
But let him who has not yet found the devil's chink in his own defences cast the stone. Head, heart, or heel there is a weak spot in the strongest. Not even Achilles' self was plunged wholesale into the waters of immunity. Quite suddenly Lenox realised that he was still holding the bottle: and for some unfathomable reason the trivial detail acted as a fuse that fires the magazine.
Lenox would come so often if there were no object in his coming except to see Julius. I can only say that if Julius were out of the question I think he would come here but seldom; but," she added, as she left the window and resumed her seat, "I do not quite see the object of this discussion, and, indeed, I am not quite sure of what we are discussing.
A fork is daintier." "And leakier," finished the critic. Altogether the air was charged and surcharged with thrills, but it was Maud Leslie who broke the spell. "Jane," she whispered as they passed out, "don't forget tonight at Lenox. The girls are depending on you." "Tonight at Lenox, what for?" puzzled Jane. "Ghosts," said Maud.
For a minute or two the officers of the Lenox could not comprehend what had happened.
There would be a town-house fit for her; a country-house at Tuxedo or Lenox or Westbury, a thousand good acres with greeneries, a game preserve, trout pond, and race-course; a cottage at Newport; a place in Scotland; a house in London, perhaps. Then there would be jewels such as she had longed for, a portrait by Chartran, she thought.
Montague had momentarily succumbed to pain and exhaustion; and Desmond, with little Martin of the Punjab Infantry and a Sikh Subadar, was in command of affairs. Sudden faintness, and a damp discomfort down his back, warned Lenox that his wound must be bleeding more freely than he knew.
