Glascock was too practical a man not to make the most of the offer that had been made to him, and he went back among the passages and called for Catarina. Before long he had two or three women with him, including her whom he had brought from Florence, and among them Louey was soon made to appear, dressed for his journey, together with a small trunk in which were his garments.
Mite asked no questions. Fate had been far beyond his comprehension for the last five months, and it was quite enough for him to feel himself in the familiar arms, and hear the voice he loved. 'Would he go to mamma? The boy raised his head, looked wonderingly over his father's face, and said in a puzzled voice 'Louey said she would take me home in the puff puff. 'Come now with father, my boy.
"As for old friends," said Louey, "I and Miss Macdermot were never so very intimate; and as for being ill-natured, I never was told before that I was more ill-natured than mother. But of course mamma will do as she likes, only she can't very well turn Mr. Gayner out of the house after having asked him to come for the races, that's all:" and Miss Louey flounced out of the room. "Come, Mrs.
Wouldn't we have dancing up stairs, eh, Miss Louey?" Mrs. McKeon still said nothing. "And even supposing Ussher did not come down here, and nothing was done, why it would be evident the match was not to take place, and that Ussher was a blackguard; then of course Feemy must give up all thoughts of him.
She was too obstinate, as he told himself, ever to yield, unless she should be absolutely softened and brought down to the ground by the loss of her child. What would do this so effectually as the interposition of the broad ocean between him and her? He sat thinking of this for the rest of the day, and Louey was left to the charge of the mistress of River's Cottage.
And he stretched out his hand to the boy. Louey got up, and approached slowly and stood between his father's knees. "Tell me, darling; you understand what papa says?" "Altro!" said the boy, who had been long enough among Italian servants to pick up the common words of the language. Of course he would like to go back. How indeed could it be otherwise? "Then you shall go to her, Louey."
"Louey will never, never forget his own mamma; will he, Louey?" The poor boy had no assurances to give, and could only raise his cheek again to be kissed. In the meantime Lady Rowley and Trevelyan were standing by, not speaking to each other, regarding the scene in silence.
"When I said that Louey could not be sent, and who could send a child into such keeping, he told me that I was the basest liar that ever broke a promise, and the vilest traitor that had ever returned evil for good. I was never to come to him again, never; and the gate of the house would be closed against me if I appeared there."
I'm only a bother and a throuble to you here, and I hav'n't spirits left even to let you see how very much obliged I am to you for all your throuble; but indeed I am in my heart, my dear Mrs. McKeon, both to you and to dear Lyddy and Louey, who have been so very kind to me.
"But he has downright proposed for her." "No! Father John," said Louey. "Has he though, really!" exclaimed Lyddy. "Then, why, in the name of the blessed Virgin, don't he marry her?" said the mother. "That's poor Feemy's difficulty, you see, Mrs. McKeon.
