If Lady Laura really loved him, the riddle might be read. The rooms at Loughlinter were splendid, much larger and very much more richly furnished than those at Saulsby. But there was a certain stiffness in the movement of things, and perhaps in the manner of some of those present, which was not felt at Saulsby.
With me she always had her own way in everything, and I always found her fit to have it. I do not understand why her husband should treat her differently." "Perhaps it is the temper of the man." "Temper, yes; but what a bad prospect is that for her! And she, too, has a temper, and so he will find if he tries her too far. I cannot stand Loughlinter. I told Laura so fairly.
Finn, knowing, as she did, that neither of them had a shilling. Of all men in the world she esteemed Mr. Kennedy the most, and when these thoughts were passing through her mind, she was well aware that he would ask her to be his wife. Had she not resolved that she would accept the offer, she would not have gone to Loughlinter.
Now at last he had turned himself round and was looking at her, and as he looked he saw the hat of a man appearing up the path, and immediately afterwards the face. It was the hat and face of the laird of Loughlinter. "Here is Mr. Kennedy," said Phineas, in a tone of voice not devoid of dismay and trouble. "So I perceive," said Lady Laura.
"The other will come no doubt in time," Violet replied; "and then you'll get your reward." He knew that such words from a girl mean nothing, especially from such a girl as Violet Effingham; but nevertheless they were very pleasant to him. "Of course you will come to us at Loughlinter when Parliament is up?" Lady Laura said the same day. "I don't know really.
"A man who can kill more salmon than anybody else, can rarely do anything else. Are you going on with your match?" "No; I'm going to make my way to Loughlinter." "Not alone?" "Yes, alone." "It's over nine miles. You can't walk it." Phineas looked at his watch, and found that it was now two o'clock.
But he had not thrown above a stone or two when he was called from above. He looked up, and then he perceived that the man who called him was his host. Of course it was Mr. Kennedy. Thereupon he ceased to throw stones, and went up the path, and joined them upon the bridge. Mr. Kennedy stepped forward, and bade him welcome to Loughlinter.
She was reproaching him now for his fickleness in having ventured to set his heart upon another woman, when she herself had been so much worse than fickle, so profoundly false! And yet he could not defend himself by accusing her. What would she have had of him? What would she have proposed to him, had he questioned her as to his future, when they were together on the braes of Loughlinter?
At present, however, he had no means of getting at her to ask her the question. He could hardly go to Loughlinter in opposition to the wishes of Lady Laura. A little adventure happened to him in London which somewhat relieved the dulness of the days of the first week in August.
Mill, and go in for women's rights, and look forward to stand for some female borough. Matrimony never seemed to me to be very charming, and upon my word it does not become more alluring by what I find at Loughlinter."
