'But, I say, said Marriott. 'Well? 'Well, it was beastly good of you to do it, and that sort of thing, I suppose. I see that all right. But, my dear man, what a rotten thing to do. A kid like that. A little beast who simply cried out for sacking. 'Well, at any rate, it's over now. You needn't jump on me. I acted from the best motives.
When Belinda questioned Marriott more particularly about the strange hints which her lady had let fall, she with looks of embarrassment and horror declined repeating the words that had been said to her; yet persisted in asserting that Lady Delacour had been very strange for these two or three days.
It may save you trouble and time if I tell you that your success ends here. I would rather die the death of a traitor than marry you." "I know that," he returned just as quietly. "Love plays the fool with us all, even making Mistress Lanison of Aylingford Abbey fall a victim to the worship of a highwayman. To help him you are even willing to sacrifice yourself to a brute like Judge Marriott."
Everybody had come except Aunt Charlotte; even Mr. Marriott, though he was supposed to be afraid of parties. And there was Mrs. Draper with Dora and Effie. Mrs. Draper, black hawk's eyes in purple rings; white powder over crushed carmines; a black wing of hair folded over grey down. Effie's pretty, piercing face; small head poised to strike. Dora, a young likeness of Mrs.
Champfort, nor any such style of personage, I can assure you; for, I'm positive, I'd rather think contemptibly of a hundred million Mr. Champforts than of one such gentleman as Mr. Clarence Hervey." "Clarence Hervey!" exclaimed Lady Delacour: taking it for granted that Belinda blushed, her ladyship, with superfluous address, instantly turned, so as to hide her friend's face from Mrs. Marriott.
'It'll make it safer. The idea took the Mob's fancy. The round-robin was drawn up and signed. 'Now, if we could only get Reece, suggested Danvers. 'It's no good asking Marriott, but Reece might sign. 'Let's have a shot at any rate, said Monk. And a deputation, consisting of Danvers, Waterford, and Monk, duly waited upon Reece in his study, and broached the project to him.
John Baptist's day last year. "He is a simple, holy man; and withal gifted with remarkable powers. He does not know of my intention; but I mean to ask of him admission into the One Fold of Christ.... "I have so many letters to write, that this must do for all who choose to ask about me. With my best love to dear Charles Marriott, who is over your head, &c., &c.
"You may speak out, Marriott, before my Helena," said Lady Delacour, rising from the bed as she spoke: "child as she is, Helena has deserved my confidence; and she shall be convinced that, where her mother has once reason to confide, she is incapable of suspicion. Wait here for a few minutes, my dear."
"It is," interrupted Lady Delacour; "not another scream shall you hear only do not, do not, my dear Belinda, send for a physician." "You will throw yourself again into convulsions," said Belinda. "Marriott, you see, has lost all command of herself I shall not have strength to manage you -perhaps I may lose my presence of mind I cannot answer for myself your husband may desire to see you."
"You see," continued Belinda, "that I am in earnest: when I am gone, you will have no friend left; when I am gone, your secret will inevitably be discovered; for without me, Marriott will not have sufficient strength of mind to keep it." "Do you think we might trust Dr. X ?" said Lady Delacour. "I am sure you may trust him," said Belinda, with energy; "I will pledge my life upon his honour."
