After that she was frightened, seeing the effect of the ghost on poor Leucha, and she got me for a long time not to tell, and she won the heart of Leucha, coming round her as only she knows how. But if I know Leucha, she won't put up any more with what was nothing but a hoax. Will you, Leucha; will you? 'Is it true? said Leucha, turning a ghastly-white face and looking at Hollyhock.
These were to be clergymen and married men. Having done her work in Edinburgh, Miss Delacour proceeded to London, and soon had the happiness of securing Master Henry de Courcy Anstel, the Lady Leucha Villiers, the Lady Barbara Fraser, the Lady Dorothy Fraser, the Hon.
'Just like her, thought Leucha; and yet through all her angry thoughts and all through the writing of the vicious and silly essay she knew well that she loved Hollyhock as she loved no one else in the school. Yes, Hollyhock was the only girl she loved. She might bring herself to make up the quarrel with her next term, but she could not give her a Judas kiss to-night.
Heaps of girls were peeping in and watching the efforts of the two who were trying to light the fire. 'I never did such dirty work in my life before, said Lady Leucha. 'Come back to the house, Daisy. I shall be sick if I sit and shiver here any longer. 'There 's one more bit of candle, replied Daisy. 'Perhaps that will do the job. I never heard of a fire being so difficult to set glowing.
Hollyhock is the last girl in the world who needs pleading for; but suppose, Leucha I don't say for a moment I shall succeed but suppose I were to go to Hollyhock, who feels that she has done her part and has shown her sorrow for her little childish freak in every possible way, would you, my child, accept her words of contrition, and when I brought her to meet you, receive her as one so noble ought to be met?
The fact was that Leucha was exceedingly pleased with her own work, and quite hoped to take the Duke of Ardshiel's locket to her mother, and thus get away from the horrid school. She had not the least suspicion of its contents being known, or at least partly known, to several girls in the school. But even she could not kiss Hollyhock to-night; even she could not give that Judas kiss.
The result of that whisper was that two boxes of clothes arrived from the most expensive dressmaker in London, and the old Duke, who had a passion for dress and for good taste in all respects, presented the contents of one box to his beloved Holly, and the contents of the other to Leucha. 'There, lass; there, he said. 'Your mother won't mind your wearing a present from the Duke of Ardshiel.
But Leucha, who at first was speechless with horror, now raised her voice to a mighty roar of indignation. 'How dare you? How dare you? You wicked, ugly little girl! I can't abide the sight of you! And to put a cat in my bed a cat and cream, forsooth! You don't get out of this scrape so easily as you think, Miss Jack. I 'm going down this minute to speak to Mrs Macintyre.
Only once she asked in an anxious tone, 'Leuchy, is my Lightning Speed all right? 'Oh yes, you may be sure of that, replied Leucha. 'There never was a horse so fussed over. 'Then I 'm happy, whispered Hollyhock. 'Hold my hand, Leuchy. Leucha did so, and the sick girl dreamt happy dreams, during which her fever quite departed.
If this idea fell through, Mrs Macintyre felt that the mean nature of Meg, joined to the yet meaner nature of Leucha herself, must for the present at least win the day. She had some hope in this plan, but meanwhile her warm heart was full of sorrow for her bonnie Hollyhock. The plan was carried into effect.
