He left Elsmere struggling with a pang of horrible depression. In reality there was no man who worked harder at the New Brotherhood during the months that followed than Lestrange. He worked under perpetual protest from the frondeur within him, but something stung him on on till a habit had been formed which promises to be the joy and salvation of his later life.
We're going all ten knots even with this breeze; we ought to fetch the place this time to-morrow. Before that if it freshens." "I am greatly disturbed," said Lestrange.
Wylder thought lady Ann was right, and the best thing for Barbara would be to go to London: lady Ann would present her at court, and she would doubtless be the belle of the season. Her chance would be none the worse of making a better match than with Arthur Lestrange.
Then the thought suggested itself that she might have come to London to prepare for her marriage with Mr. Lestrange. She must of course be married some day! He had always taken that for granted, but now, for the first time somehow, the thought came near enough to burn. He did not attempt to analyze his feelings; he was too miserable to care for his feelings.
The only reason he had for leaving it was that his wife threatened to come to the Mediterranean to Malta. There was a gang of criminal hypnotists on the Mediterranean coast then. Captain Lestrange fled to Copenhagen, a place connected with most of the attacks of criminal hypnotists, mentioned before and hereafter.
He followed the man and found Lestrange at the breakfast-table, with a tall young woman, very ordinary-looking, except for her large, soft, dark eyes, and the little lady whose mare he had shod, and whose voice he had that morning heard from the tree-top. He advanced half-way to the table, and stood. "Ah, there you are!" said Lestrange, glancing up, and immediately reverting to his plate.
"I can't make you take the money now I can't even thank you properly now," said Lestrange "I am in a fever; but when all is settled, you and I will settle this business. My God!" He buried his face in his hands again.
"I see Miss Lestrange over there she has played it for me before without the music, I mean." "Then I'll go and fetch her," said the indefatigable hostess; and now everybody seemed to know that Mr. Lionel Moore was about to sing "The Starry Night." Miss Georgie Lestrange was no sooner appealed to than she came through the crowd, smiling and laughing.
Lestrange rang the bell, and ordered the attendant to take the young man to his grandfather. The two wandered together over the grounds, and Richard saw much to admire and wonder at, but nothing to approach the hall or the library. On their way home, Simon, to his grandson's surprise, declared himself in favour of his working at the Mortgrange library.
But he was never able to put the best of himself into his books, which tended to be sentimental and even conventional. Then there was Lestrange; and I think he was the least congenial of the lot. He was a handsome, rather clerical-looking man of about twenty-eight, who had been brought up to take orders, and had decided against doing so.
