The crowds pressed against the ropes and turned up their faces to drink in the terror of the spectacle. Lorrimer had out his notebook. "Damn fires!" he said. "They bore me. Does all this look like anything to you? That fire and those people and their silly faces all tilted up and turned red and blue and purple "
Lorrimer took out his watch. "You ought to have some lunch first," he said. "If you will come now and have some, we can return and look at the books afterwards." Ideala acquiesced, fearing it was his own lunch time, and knowing it would detain him if she did not accompany him.
She gazed on a lovely scene, composed of woodland, river, and gently sloping meadows and lawns. Exactly opposite her eyes was a paddock, and in the paddock the two colts which had just been sold were contentedly grazing. As Mrs. Lorrimer stood and looked out, a girl was seen to enter the paddock and go swiftly up to the colts, calling their names as she did so. They both came to her immediately.
Hester frets morning, noon, and night, at the thought of parting with Molly; but Hester never thought of this. It is fine of you quite impossible, of course; but I always admire real bravery when I see it." "Never mind praising me," said Antonia; "tell me why you call it impossible." "My dear young lady, do you think for a single moment Squire Lorrimer would accept a gift of this sort from me?
They began to retrace their steps, and Lorrimer, as they walked, managed, with a few adroit questions, to learn from Ideala that the trouble had something to do with her husband. "Regy Beaumont is coming to me this afternoon," he said to his brother. "Would you mind being there to receive him?" They exchanged glances, and Julian took his leave. "Now, tell me," Lorrimer said to Ideala.
Lorrimer, in writing to Molly, had assumed as cheerful a tone as possible; she had alluded to no possible care, had hinted at no canker root of possible trouble.
And the next day a young clergyman whom she stopped to speak to in the street began at once about Lorrimer. "I met him at dinner the other night," he said. "I suppose you know him? There is much truth in 'birds of a feather. He fascinated us all with his talk of art and literature. He gave us such new ideas described such varied experiences, and all with such grace and power."
After the night of suspense and terror, however, which poor Mrs. Lorrimer, by Nora's bedside, and Molly in her lonely little bedroom at the Towers, had undergone, the great London doctor's news seemed all that was delightful. Hester hurried to the Towers to put Molly's anxious heart at rest, and Mrs. Lorrimer returned to the room where Nora was lying very white and still.
I call it curious, because she was so confiding so unsuspicious, and also so penetrating, she never seemed to care to know more of people than she learnt from intercourse with them. But with regard to Lorrimer, she had evidently begun to distrust her own judgment, which is significant.
Tom Poldhu, Dick and George Tresize, Harry Lorrimer, and the others were among the best products of English public schools, and although they had their failings, each had his code of honour which is generally held sacred by the class to which he belonged. All of them, too, had been reared in a military atmosphere.
