Papa walked in the garden in the cool of the evening, like the Lord God. And he was always alone. When you thought of him you thought of Jehovah. There was something funny about other people's fathers. Mr. Manisty, of Vinings, who rode along Ley Street with his two tall, thin sons, as if he were actually proud of them; Mr.
'It always seemed to her a monstrous arrangement, said Manisty, 'and I can see now it galls her to the quick to have to apply to me, in this way. I don't wonder but I can't help it. The duty's there worse luck! and I've got to face it, for my father's sake. Besides, if I were to consent, the other fellow an old cousin of ours would never dream of doing it. So what's the good?
Benson had flung the window looking on the balcony and the passage open, but had fastened across it the outside sun-shutters. Lucy, securely hidden herself, could see freely through the wooden strips of the shutter. Ah! sad procession! Manisty came first through the passage, the sides of which were open to the balcony. His sister was on his arm, veiled and in black.
Besides, Manisty would be there in a moment. So you may be quite, quite at ease. Lucy thanked her. 'And you? she said wistfully, feeling for Eleanor's hand. Eleanor yielded it for an instant, then withdrew it, and herself. 'Oh, thank you I shall sleep excellently. Alice takes no interest, alas! in me!
I had forgotten all about the convent. He made me go. Eleanor started; coloured; and pondered a moment. 'We pledged him to secrecy as to his letters. But all priests are Jesuits, aren't they? even the good ones. I suppose he thought we had quarrelled, and he would force us for our good to make it up. He is very kind and rather romantic. Manisty said no more.
Then she tore off some of the large young fig-leaves beside her, not knowing what else to do, and held them to it. A few minutes later, Manisty and Eleanor descended the same path in haste.
There's a glorious fight coming, and if you're not in it, you'll be a precious fool." 'I daren't be as candid as that! said Lucy, her face quivering with suppressed fun. Their eyes met in a common flash of laughter. Then Manisty fell heavily back against the seat. 'What have I got to go home for? he said abruptly, his countenance darkening. Lucy's aspect changed too, instantly. She waited.
They pitied me they told me where Lucy was The low, rushing words ceased a moment. Manisty looked at her, took both her hands again. 'But they couldn't tell me' he murmured 'how to please her how to make her kind to me make her listen to me. Lucy, whom shall I go to for that? She turned away her face; her hands released themselves.
It was a bad bargain she wanted, but she might have been allowed to have him in peace. What did you come meddling for? At that moment the door of the walled garden opened. Manisty came out into the courtyard. Brooklyn looked from him to Lucy with a tight lip, a fierce and flashing eye. He watched them meet. He saw Lucy's quick change of attitude, the return of hardness and composure.
The maid looked at her mistress. 'Miss Foster will ring, Benson, if she wants you' said Miss Manisty; and the black-robed elderly maid, breathing decorous fashion and the ways of 'the best people, turned, gave a swift look at Miss Foster, and left the room. 'Are you sure, my dear? You know she would make you tidy in no time. She arranges hair beautifully.
