The road was bordered by the high walls of monasteries, overshadowed by trees, and at the deep gateway of one of these Lorimer called a halt. It was the house of the Minoresses or Poor Clares, where the ladies were to remain. The six weeks' companionship would come to an end, and the Prioress was heartily sorry for it.
Her young brother, the heir of Bletso, was in Flanders with his foreign mother, and she knew not what might be her own claims through her own mother, though the Prioress and Master Lorimer knew that it could be ascertained through the seneschal at Bletso, if he had not perished with his lord, or the agents at York through whom Anne's pension had been paid.
"I regret I have never had time to devote myself to acquiring some knowledge of the arts. In music I am a positive ignoramus! I can hold my own best in the field." "Yes, you're a great adept at hunting, Lennox," remarked Lorimer suddenly, with something sarcastic in his tone. "I suppose the quarry never escapes you?" "Seldom!" returned Sir Francis coolly. "Indeed, I think I may say, never!"
Lord Winsleigh's thoughts, whatever they were, deepened the lines of gravity on his face; and George Lorimer, as he got up from his couch on the grass, caught a fleeting expression in the brown eyes of Sir Francis Lennox that struck him with a sense of unpleasantness. But he quickly dismissed the impression from his mind, and went to have a quiet smoke in the shrubbery.
"I'll have to do all his English and Latin for him, so he can get signed up every week and play football!" Mrs. Lorimer did not see why her daughter's finishing need be curtailed by young James King's athletic activities and she started in to say so with vigor and emphasis, but her husband held up his long beautifully modeled hand rather in the manner of a traffic policeman and stopped her.
Then you go on in a sort of rag-time metre. In the "Coon Drum-Major" style. Besides, you see, the beauty of it is that you administer a wholesome snub to the examiner right away. Makes him sit up at once. Put it down. Lorimer bit off another quarter of an inch of his pen. 'You needn't be an ass, he said shortly.
I have promised your most charming mother, cher Lorimer, to take her in to this same supper. I must fly upon the wings of chivalry!" And with a laugh, he hurried off, leaving Thelma and Lorimer alone together. She sank rather wearily into a chair near the organ, and looked at him. "Play me something!" she said softly.
It meant that neither Pringle nor Lorimer would be able to play in the final House match against Leicester's, which was fixed to begin on the next Saturday at two o'clock.
Lorimer," he said, "will you be kind enough to explain why you are cutting my timber without permission?" "I have done it at Mr. Lyle's request, sir," I said. Now I do not know how Carrington had heard of what was going on, but his answer made it evident that he had. "Ah, I had partly expected this. Will you tell Lyle that I want him at once!"
"Settled!" faltered Lorimer astonished, he was generally self-possessed, but this fair young lady's perfect equanimity far surpassed his at that moment "Settled! My darling! my child I am so much older than you are " "I don't like boys!" she declared, with stately disdain. "I was your wife when I was little and I thought it was to be the same thing now I am big!
