"For God's sake gang oot, as lang's there twa limbs o' ye stickin' thegither." The poor fellow just managed to open the door, and fell senseless on the stones. Lord Liftore called for help, and they carried him into the saddle room, while one ran for the nearest surgeon.
"There's a great change on Lord Meikleham," said Malcolm. "There is that," said Wallis. "I consider him much improved. But you see he's succeeded; he's the earl now, and Lord Liftore and a menseful, broad shouldered man to the boot of the bargain. He used to be such a windle straw!"
But then he saw that if she were not with Florimel, his sister would be riding everywhere alone with Liftore. Therefore he stopped short. "And you feel forsaken deserted?" returned Clementina, sadly still. "Rather, my lady." They had reached the tunnel. It looked very black when he opened the door, but there was just a glimmer through the trees at the other end.
"You hear her ladyship?" cried Liftore. "Get out." He approached threateningly. "Stand back," said Malcolm. "If it were not that I promised the poor girl carrying your baby out there, I should soon " It was unwisely said: the earl came on the bolder. For all Malcolm could do to parry, evade, or stop his blows, he had soon taken several pretty severe ones.
" No man could ride Kelpie with a led horse; and if we had to employ another, Liftore would be sure to hear where we had gone." "That would spoil all," said Clementina. "But how much better it would be to give that poor creature a rest, and bring the other I see him on sometimes!"
He had nearly lost his temper with Liftore; and if he should act in any way unbefitting the position he had assumed, from the duties of which he was in no degree exonerated by the fact that he had assumed it for a purpose, it would not only be a failure in himself, but an impediment perhaps insurmountable in the path of his service. To attract attention was almost to insure frustration.
I may mention here that Lady Bellair accepted the invitation with pleasure for herself and Liftore, promised to bring Caley, but utterly declined to take charge of Demon, or allow him to be of the party.
"I beg your pardon, my lady," returned Malcolm, "but would your ladyship make a condition with my lord that he shall not mount her anywhere on the stones." "By Jove!" said Liftore scornfully. "You fancy yourself the only man that can ride!" "It's nothing to me, my lord, if you break your neck; but I am bound to tell you I do not think your lordship will sit my mare.
'You were going on the continent with Lady Bellair and Lord Liftore and without me to do as I had promised." "You insult me!" cried Florimel. "Are my movements to be subject to the approbation of my groom? Is it possible my father could give his henchman such authority over his daughter? I ask you again, where was the danger?" "In your company, my lady."
That night he would go fishing with Lady Clementina, but not one day longer would he allow those people to be about his sister. Who could tell what might not be brewing, or into what abyss, with the help of her friends, the woman Catanach might not plunge Florimel? He rose, took Kelpie out, and had a good gallop. On his way back he saw in the distance Florimel riding with Liftore.
