If he were keeping guard over Lorimer, amusing him and circumventing him in a thousand different ways, it was not only for Lorimer's sake, but for that of Beatrix as well, and it was imperative that Beatrix should never know. The day had passed forever when he could look into Miss Gannion's clear eyes and declare with perfect truthfulness that Beatrix was nothing in the world to him.
Of him that tall, proud, grey-eyed Englishman, your foe, your rival; the rich, cruel Errington. . . ." Lorimer's hand fell heavily on his shoulder, and his voice was very stern. "What nonsense, Sigurd! You don't know what you are talking about to-day. Errington my foe! Good heavens! Why, he's my best friend! Do you hear?" Sigurd stared up at him in vacant surprise, but nodded feebly.
She had placed her dimpled arms round Lorimer's neck, and when she so confidingly suggested marriage to her "Zordie," as she called him, she was rubbing her rosy, velvety cheek against his moustache with much sweet consideration and tenderness. Lovelace, hearing her, laughed aloud, whereat the little lady was extremely offended. "I don't tare!" she said, with pretty defiance.
"I used to think a good deal about such things when I was younger, and I'm free to say I took more stock in dreams and such like than I do now. I rec'lect old Parson Lorimer this Parson Lorimer's father who was settled here first spoke to me once about it, and said it was a tempting of Providence, and that we hadn't no right to pry into secrets.
"We did," he confessed, quietly following Lorimer's cue, and seeing also that it was best to be straightforward. "We heard you spoken of in Bosekop, and we came to see if you would permit us the honor of your acquaintance." The old man struck his pine-staff violently into the ground, and his face flushed wrathfully. "Bosekop!" he exclaimed. "Talk to me of a wasp's nest! Bosekop!
He was her very own, the one being in the world who belonged absolutely to her; and she fought for his life with the fierceness of despair. Then, just as it seemed that she had triumphed and the child was out of danger, the same insidious foe which had ended Lorimer's life, attacked the life of his child.
In Lorimer's own house, however, there could be no danger. He felt that he could count upon Beatrix to forestall that. In the weeks since they had met, it seemed to him that Beatrix must have grown more beautiful with each passing day. Beneath the perfect poise of her manner, he could see an increasing gentleness, a sadness which was under absolute control.
"I was knocked up; had fits, and all that sort of thing; took these three fellows all their time on Sunday to hold me down!" "Dear me!" and Mr. Dyceworthy was about to make further inquiries concerning Mr. Lorimer's present state of health, when the door opened, and Ulrika entered, bearing a large tray laden with wine and other refreshments.
Then, of a sudden, she raised her eyes to his, and Thayer was dazzled by the light that was shining in them. "Yes," she answered, with a quiet dignity which he could not gainsay. "And that is the very reason that I will not marry you. I love you too well so well that I can never allow you to become the father of Sidney Lorimer's child."
Say you've acquired that broad brow alert eye stern mouth dominant chin and so forth, that goes with indomitable determination to 'get there. To be sure, I'd have thought you'd arrived, or your family before you, but they say you've started out to arrive some more. It's a wonderful example for a chap like me fellows say. Think so myself. Mind imparting " Richard broke in on Lorimer's drawl.
