For weeks they've been giving us the worst food you ever tasted in your life, p-played havoc with my digestion, and I I'm going to tell them if things aren't changed, they they'll have to pay my doctor's bills. As for that man, Lessingham As he spoke, he himself opened the hall door, and there, standing on the step was 'that man Lessingham' himself. Lindon was a picture.
'Have you seen her? Lessingham, not unnaturally nonplussed by the other's curious conduct, stared at him in unmistakable amazement. 'Have I seen whom? 'Marjorie Lindon! 'Marjorie Lindon? Lessingham paused. He was evidently asking himself what the inquiry meant. 'I have not seen Miss Lindon since last night. Why do you ask? 'Then Heaven help us!
"He has sneaked off like a contemptible cur. No, I will not believe it of him," he added impetuously. "Lindon has too much stuff in him to play such a despicable part. You are wrong, Laura. Come down and finish breakfast. I will not believe it of the boy." "But he has gone, Josiah, he has gone," sobbed his sister.
'If I had discovered that you were there before Sydney went, I think it just possible that I should have hesitated before I let him go. Then there came a revulsion of feeling. I shook myself. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Marjorie Lindon, to even think such nonsense. Are you all nerves and morbid imaginings, you who have prided yourself on being so strong-minded!
'I don't know how many times I've tried to tell her, over and over again. 'Have you now? 'Yes, pretty near every time I met her, but I never seemed to get quite to it, don't you know. 'How was that? 'Why, just as I was going to say, "Miss Lindon, may I offer you the gift of my affection " 'Was that how you invariably intended to begin?
Jamming his fists into his pockets, and puffing like a grampus in distress, he took himself away, and it was time he did, for his words were as audible as they were pointed, and already people were wondering what the matter was. Woodville came up as Lindon was going, just as sorely distressed as ever. 'She went away with Lessingham, did you see her? 'Of course I saw her.
'I protest that, like Miss Lindon, you credit me with a more extensive knowledge than I possess. However, we will let that pass. I take it that you paid particular attention to this mysterious habitant of this mysterious dwelling. I saw that Mr Holt shuddered. 'I am not likely ever to forget him. 'Then, in that case, you will be able to describe him to us.
'I fancy that Miss Lindon, at this moment, is somewhere; I don't, just now, know exactly where, but I hope very shortly to be able to give you a clearer notion, attired in a rotten, dirty pair of boots; a filthy, tattered pair of trousers; a ragged, unwashed apology for a shirt; a greasy, ancient, shapeless coat; and a frowsy peaked cloth cap. They stared at me, opened-eyed.
"You know much more about them than I do!" "I accept them most gratefully! But you have not yet told me " the Earl was beginning, when we were interrupted, to my great relief, by the arrival of Eric Lindon. To Arthur, however, the new-comer was, I saw clearly, anything but welcome.
I glanced at it, expecting to find on it a petition, or a testimonial, or a true statement of his sad case; instead it contained two words only, 'Marjorie Lindon. The unlooked-for sight of that well-loved name brought the blood into my cheeks.
