He could not bear to discourse long upon the topic; for though he spoke little of it, he still felt the same horror and detestation of his ancient enemy that had occupied his heart ever since Mrs. Linton's death. 'She might have been living yet, if it had not been for him! was his constant bitter reflection; and, in his eyes, Heathcliff seemed a murderer.
Linton's carriage received Phyllis. Lord Earlscourt took a seat in Mr. Courtland's hansom. "What do you think about Mr. Courtland?" inquired Ella of her dearest friend, as they lay back with their heads very close together. There was a long pause before Phyllis replied: "I really don't know what I think about him. He is, I suppose, the bravest man alive at present." "What?
Linton said, in a harsh and firm voice, "is something I can't discuss. It's a personal matter." "It ain't personal with me," Jerry announced, carelessly. "We was talkin' about Tom's married life and I happened to say " "DON'T!" Linton's cry of warning held a threat. "Don't spill your indecencies in the presence of this child or I'll hang the frying-pan around your neck.
His nephew's offering of thanks was duly delivered, Miss Cathy gently touching on the rest: I also threw little light on his inquiries, for I hardly knew what to hide and what to reveal. Seven days glided away, every one marking its course by the henceforth rapid alteration of Edgar Linton's state. The havoc that months had previously wrought was now emulated by the inroads of hours.
Neither of them was expert in the use of carpenter's tools, therefore it was supper- time before they finished, and the result of their labor was nothing to be proud of. Each now possessed a craft that would float, no doubt, but which in few other respects resembled a boat; Linton's was a slim, square-ended wedge, while Quirk's was a blunt barge, fashioned on the lines of a watering-trough.
"Then give the line a shake, and the snake will fall into the bucket. Or stop; I will." But he was too late, for the lad had already given the line a quick shake, with the result that the snake uncoiled like lightning, and darted at the nearest object, that object being Miss Linton's arm, round which it coiled with the rapidity of the thong of a whip round a stick.
"Capital!" exclaimed Tompion, who was, for a wonder, not above taking advice from a junior, when it happened to be good, and coincided with his own opinion. "What say you, my lads do you think you've got strength enough in your arms to punish some of those rascals for Mr Linton's too like death, and the trick they played us?" "All right, sir, never fear.
It was just a single chapter in our lives, and now it is closed. But we're all of us parts of Billabong." Some one came quietly along the deck and to the vacant place on her other side. "Who's talking Billabong again, old kiddie?" Jim Linton's deep voice was always gentle. Norah gave his shoulder a funny little rub with her head.
"Anne Linton's pretty weak, but she took a little nourishment sanely this morning just before I came away. Miss Arden feels a trifle encouraged. I confess this thing of Jord's has knocked the girl out of my mind for the time being, though I shall get her back again fast enough, if I don't find things going right when I see her.
At the end she came back as from a dream, to realize that she was not in elf-land, but in the College Lecture Hall, and that she was sitting on a form next to Miss Strong, who held on her knee a little red-coated, brown-haired boy with Dr. Linton's unmistakable dark eyes.
