But it was afterwards found that the "passage," which had already been given the name of Frobisher's Straits, was really only an inlet, and afterwards it became known as Lumley's Inlet. Frobisher never discovered a North-west Passage, for the ships of those days were not fitted out in a way to enable the sailors to bear the icy cold of these northern regions.
And, by the way, take Mrs. Lumley's portmanteau the lock needs mending to Jones's in Sloane Street to be repaired. One thing more, I should like to add a few lines to that manuscript I gave you to keep in your safe. Trevor brought the sealed envelope. Merton added a paragraph and resealed it. Trevor locked it up again.
"Yes, you shall be Lumley's wife, his honoured wife, heiress to my rank as to my fortunes." "I will do all that papa wishes." "You will be Lady Vargrave, then, and Lumley will be your husband," said the stepfather, impressively. "Think over what I have said. Now let us join mamma. But, as I live, here is Lumley himself.
At first he looked crestfallen. Then he appeared puzzled. Then an expression of great indignation came into his face. He seemed greatly agitated. The forester was studying his expression closely. "What's the difficulty, Charley?" he asked. "I told you I never trusted Lumley," he burst out. "Just look here." He laid his figures beside Lumley's. Mr. Marlin ran his eye over them.
Ferrers looked after him, and muttered to himself; he then rejoined Florence, who presently rose to depart, and taking Lumley's arm, said, "Well, I see my father is looking round for me and so for once I will forestall him. Come, Lumley, let us join him; I know he wants to see you. "Well?" said Florence, blushing deeply, and almost breathless, as they crossed the now half-empty apartments.
"Ye little limmer!" cried Margaret, seizing her by the shoulder, "what gart ye rin awa'? I dinna want ye, ye brat!" "I didna rin awa', Auntie." "Robert Bruce cried on ye to come in, himsel'." "It wis himsel' that sent me to Laurie Lumley's to tell him to come till him direckly." Margaret could not make "head or tail" of it. But as Annie had never told her a lie, she could not doubt her.
The next step in Lumley's policy was to arm Templeton's vanity against his wife, by constantly refreshing his consciousness of the sacrifices he had made by marriage, and the certainty that he would have attained all his wishes had he chosen more prudently.
"You can see the Lumleys' place from your window, Cassy," said Black Andy grimly. "We got a mortgage on it, and foreclosed it, and it's ours now; and Jerry Lumley's stock-riding for us. Anyhow, he's better off than Abner, or Abner's wife." Cassy turned at the door and faced him.
The fact was, his promotion and the observations in Captain Lumley's letter had brought back all his former regret at having quitted the service, and he was very melancholy in consequence; but as his cousins read their letters aloud, he gradually recovered his spirits. At last, all the letters were read, and then the newspapers were distributed.
"Last time I saw you, you were behind the stove at Lumley's. Nothing's ever too warm for you," she added. "You'd be shivering on the equator. You were always hugging the stove at Lumley's." "Things were pretty warm there, too, Cassy," he said, with a sidelong look at his father.
