It was evident to Marcella that she was afraid of Lady Leven, who had, indeed, shown a marked indifference to her society at Castle Luton. But Betty was disarmed. The "minx" had lost her colour, and, for the moment, her prettiness. She looked depressed, and talked little. As to her relation to Marcella Betty's inquisitive brain indulged itself in a score of conjectures.
At Castle Luton Sir George attracted me very much. The pleasure of talking to him there first made me wish to try and alter some of his views to bring him across my poor people to introduce him to our friends.
The blind man, sitting alone, selected one, and, fingering it very carefully for a long time, at last made out its design and the inscription upon it. "The seal of Abbot Simon de Luton, of the early thirteenth century," he said slowly to himself. "The wolf guards the head of St. Edmund as it does in the seal of the Benedictine Abbey of Bury St.
She said this with the air of someone making a great concession. It was, indeed, her first formal condonement of the offence offered her just before the Castle Luton visit. George attempted a little more argument and entreaty, but in vain. Letty was rather puzzled by his urgency, but quite obdurate.
'I should think that Inspector's wire hasn't had it's proper effect, looks as if we're blocked or else we've stopped at Luton. It can't be Bedford. It wasn't Bedford so much seemed clear. Though at first from my window I could make out nothing. I was feeling more than a trifle dazed, there was a singing in my ears, the sudden darkness was impenetrable.
It'll be precisely like Faust and Marguerite going into the house, and you and I are Mephistopheles and Martha. Come quick!" From the dark of the window they watched Mrs Weston's bath-chair being pushed up the lit road. "It's the Colonel pushing it," whispered Olga, squeezing him into a corner of the window. "Look! There's Tommy Luton on the path.
"I am not quite satisfied with your new vicar," he observed; "I am afraid that he belongs to a school of which I have the utmost possible dread. Believe me, dearest, I was most thankful to find, when I first came down to Luton, that Captain Maynard held the opinions I do, and that your parish was free from any of the ritualistic practices of the day.
I mention the names of Bramham DeWitt, Colonel Hibbert Segrave, Lord Alonzo Carr, Admiral Loftus, the Earl of Luton, the Marquis of Hatchford, Jack Hippony, Monterez Williams, I think you know him? and little Dick Phillimore, son of a big-wig, a fellow of a capital wit and discretion; I mention them as present to convince you we are not triflers, dear boy.
There's a break in his line of life, just at the right place, when he was so ill in Egypt, which is most remarkable, and when Tommy Luton brought round my bath-chair this morning I had it at the garden-door, because the gravel's just laid at my front-door, and the wheels sink so far into it 'Tommy, I said, 'let me look at your hand a moment, and there on his line of fate, was the little cross that means bereavement.
It was I I alone, who in my blindness and ignorance and folly exposed them to the malign influences which have caused their destruction. I have been the murderer of my children!" A few days after Mary's funeral, Clara, with the general and Mr Lennard, returned to Luton. Miss Pemberton received her niece with a look of astonishment.
