She could make a daring sally or reply; but it was still the raw material of conversation; it wanted ease and polish. And she was evidently conscious of it herself, for presently her cheek flushed and her manner wavered. "I suppose you everybody thinks her very agreeable?" she said, sharply, her eyes returning to Miss Lyster. "She is a most excellent gossip," said Ashe.
"No, no he excites me! He is bad, false, selfish, but he excites me. He talks to very few women one can see that. And all the women want to talk to him. He used to admire Miss Lyster, and now he dislikes her. But she doesn't dislike him. No! she would marry him to-morrow if he asked her." "You are very positive," said Ashe. "Allow me to say that I entirely disagree with you."
The officers of the Association Opposed to Equal Suffrage as published in the press were: President, Mrs. Henry F. Lyster; secretary, Miss Helen Keep; publicity committee, Miss Julia Russell, Mrs. A. A. Griffiths, Mrs. J. A. McMillan, Mrs. Fred Reynolds, Mrs. Edward H. Parker, Mrs. Richard Jackson and Miss Caroline Barnard. Mrs.
"Lyster has gone on a newspaper the Ventilator. Fancy Lyster a newspaper artist making pictures of prize-fights, actresses, murderers, and society women at the opera. It was that or the street, and Lyster was frightened for once in his life. We owe for every mortal thing as well as the telephone." "That is the best thing I have ever heard of Lyster," said Isabel, imperturbably.
Oh, Marion! if he goes from me goes to hide his sorrow and his love where I shall never see him again what will become of me? I am in despair. The very thought of it breaks my heart." And Miss Lyster sobbed as though she meant every word of it. The heiress bent over her. "What can I do to help you? I am so sorry, Adelaide."
But the instant she spoke, unable to bear the sound of so loved a voice uttering nothing but the incoherent ravings of lightheadedness, he hastened down stairs, and flying out of the house, walked in the neighbouring streets, till he could again gather courage to enquire or to listen how she went on. The following morning, however, Dr Lyster came, and every hope revived.
In short, she set herself to work to win Lady Ridsdale's heart; but she did not succeed. The mistress of Thorpe Castle did not like Miss Lyster; she merely tolerated her, and that was for Marion's sake. With Lord Ridsdale she succeeded better. Her subtle flattery and constant attentions made some impression on him.
When Miss Lyster suggested a walk in the garden, Marion, knowing that her brother would be sure to appear, declined it. Her only safeguard lay in continually seeking Lady Ridsdale's society. "The dear child is so warmly attached to me!" said the mistress of Thorpe Castle to her husband. "It is really wonderful."
"Well, after all, the girls can't propose! And I never saw him take any interest in a girl yet outside his own family, of course," added Lady Tranmore, hastily. "No he does certainly devote himself to the married women," replied Miss Lyster, in the half-absent tone of one more truly interested in her embroidery than in the conversation.
He came; she lingered by Lady Ridsdale's side during his reception. The thought did certainly pass through Lord Ridsdale's mind that Allan Lyster was very young and very handsome to be drawing-master of a young ladies' school; but not for the world would he have breathed such a thought to any one living, lest it should injure him. Lord Ridsdale was courtesy itself to his young guest.
