Spirits of Red Lavender 10 drops. Syrup of Orange Peel 2 drams. Camphor Julep 1 ounce. Lady Lundie was in bed. The visible part of her ladyship was perfectly attired, with a view to the occasion. A fillet of superb white lace encircled her head. She wore an adorable invalid jacket of white cambric, trimmed with lace and pink ribbons. The rest was bed-clothes.
'I guess I can't be properly sensitised. Any one who steered me out of that trouble might have had the laugh on me for generations. But I'm only a millionaire. I said we'd better search second accused in case he'd been carryin' concealed weapons. "That certainly is a point," says Lord Lundie.
Zigler," he said, "will you tell us what steps you took to bring about the death of the first accused?" I told him. He wanted to know specially whether I'd stretched first accused before or after he had fired at Mankeltow. Mankeltow testified he'd been shot at, and exhibited his neck as evidence. It was scorched. "Now, Mr. Walen," says Lord Lundie.
"Will you kindly tell us what steps you took with regard to the second accused?" "The man ran directly at me, me lord," says Walen. "I said, 'Oh no, you don't, and hit him in the face." 'Lord Lundie lifts one hand and uncovers second accused's face. There was a bruise on one cheek and the chin was all greened with grass. He was a heavy-built man. "What happened after that?" says Lord Lundie.
"I think you said, Lady Lundie, that Sir Patrick had been called to Edinburgh by family business?" "Business, Mrs. Delamayn, which is any thing but agreeable to me, as one member of the family. It has altered all my arrangements for the autumn. My step-daughter is to be married next week." "Is it so near as that? May I ask who the gentleman is?" "Mr. Arnold Brinkworth."
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.
Lady Lundie was too deeply absorbed in completing her memorandum to be conscious of his presence in the room. "'Carriage to be at the door at two-thirty," said Lady Lundie, repeating the final words of the memorandum while she wrote them.
But with Penfentenyou behind him he had worked; for he told us that Lord Lundie the Law Lord was the final authority on the legal and constitutional aspects of the Great Idea, and to him it must be referred. "Good Heavens alive!" thundered Penfentenyou. "I told you to get that settled last Christmas." "It was the middle of the house-party season," said the Agent-General mildly.
Arnold, sacrificed by express stipulation on the part of Lady Lundie to the prurient delicacy which forbids the bridegroom, before marriage, to sleep in the same house with the bride, found himself ruthlessly shut out from Sir Patrick's hospitality, and exiled every night to a bedroom at the inn.
Blanche " Lady Lundie emitted a faint scream, and put her hand over her eyes. "Must you?" cried her ladyship, in a tone of touching remonstrance. "Oh, Sir Patrick, must you?" "Yes. I must." Lady Lundie's magnificent eyes looked up at that hidden court of human appeal which is lodged in the ceiling.
