Inchbare showed in not Lady Lundie, but Lady Lundie's maid. The woman's account of what had happened at Windygates was simple enough. Lady Lundie had, as a matter of course, placed the right interpretation on Blanche's abrupt departure in the pony-chaise, and had ordered the carriage, with the firm determination of following her step-daughter herself.
What is it?" "How am I to know you have got away from here?" "If you don't hear from me in half an hour from the time when I have left you, you may be sure I have got away. Hush!" Two voices, in conversation, were audible at the bottom of the steps Lady Lundie's voice and Sir Patrick's. Anne pointed to the door in the back wall of the summer-house.
Difficult to reconcile what Geoffrey told us, with Miss Silvester's manner and appearance. What next? You had something else to say, when I was so rude as to interrupt you. What was it?" "Only this," said Julius. "I don't find it easy to understand Sir Patrick Lundie's conduct in permitting Mr. Brinkworth to commit bigamy with his niece." "Wait a minute! The marriage of that horrible woman to Mr.
Lady Lundie waited composedly for the opening of the drawing-room door. Blanche started, and trembled. Was it Arnold? Was it Anne? The door opened and Blanche drew a breath of relief. The first arrival was only Lady Lundie's solicitor invited to attend the proceedings on her ladyship's behalf.
He is major of the 55th, and may command his men to wheel and march about as he pleases; but he cannot compel me to wed the greatest or the meanest of his mess. Besides, what can you know of Lundie's wishes on such a subject?" "From Lundie's own mouth. The Sergeant had told him that he wished me for a son-in-law; and the Major, being an old and a true friend, conversed with me on the subject.
It was the fourth day from the day of Lady Lundie's garden-party, and it wanted an hour or more of the time at which the luncheon-bell usually rang. The guests at Windygates were most of them in the garden, enjoying the morning sunshine, after a prevalent mist and rain for some days past.
The friend whispered back. "Miss Lundie's governess that's all." The moment during which the question was put and answered was also the moment which brought Lady Lundie and Miss Silvester face to face in the presence of the company. The stranger at the house looked at the two women, and whispered again. "Something wrong between the lady and the governess," he said.
The one conversation in progress, in which the talkers were not in social harmony with each other, was the conversation at Blanche's side, between her step-mother and Mrs. Delamayn. Among Lady Lundie's other accomplishments the power of making disagreeable discoveries ranked high.
Brinkworth had written beforehand to announce his arrival at his estate for the fourteenth of August but that he had not actually appeared until the fifteenth. The one discovery needed to substantiate Mrs. Inchbare's evidence being now in Lady Lundie's possession, she decided to allow another day to pass on the chance that Sir Patrick might al ter his mind, and write to her.
Preserved from every temptation which might lure her into a longing to follow her mother's career; trained for a teacher's life, with all the arts and all the advantages that money could procure, Anne's first and only essays as a governess were made, under Lady Lundie's own roof, on Lady Lundie's own child.
