"Will that content you? I have torn myself to ribbons for you!" "Oh, don't expect too much gratitude Oliver!" The last word was low and hurried. Alicia gathered up the reins hastily, and Marsham looked round him startled. He saw a tall and slender girl coming toward them, accompanied by a Scotch collie. She bowed to him and to Alicia, and passed quickly on.
She began to hold herself rather stiffly, to throw in a critical remark or two, to be a little flippant even, at Miss Vincent's expense. Homage so warm laid at the feet of one ideal was she felt it a disparagement of others; she stood for those others; and presently Marsham began to realize a hurtling of shafts in the air, an incipient battle between them. He accepted it with delight.
They deprived him of any other home, and this home became a necessity. Then Henry Marsham died. Once more Ferrier asked Lady Lucy to marry him, and again she refused. He acquiesced; their old friendship was resumed; but, once more, with a difference. In a sense he had no longer any illusions about her.
Such observances, he supposed, count for a great deal with women; especially with those who are conscious of having trifled a little with the weightier matters of the law. Then Lady Lucy took her leave; Marsham saw her to her carriage. The two left behind watched the receding figures the mother, bent and tottering, clinging to her son.
"But you, dearest, shall not bear it alone!" cried Marsham, finding her hand again and kissing it. "My first task shall be to comfort you to make you forget." He thought she winced at the word "forget." "When did you first guess or know?" He hesitated then thought it best to tell the truth. "When we were in the lime-walk." "When you asked her name?
In the first place, the moderate Liberals held a meeting very early in the struggle, with Sir William Felton in the chair, to protest against the lukewarm support which Marsham had given to the late leader of the Opposition, to express their lamentation for Ferrier, and their distrust of Lord Philip; and to decide upon a policy.
I answered that I certainly couldn't till I'd heard it, whereupon Loder, taking up the silver case again and holding it in his hand as he talked, began: "This happened in Provence, when I was about as old as Marsham there and every bit as romantic. I was there with Carroll you remember poor old Carroll and what a blade of a boy he was as romantic as four Marshams rolled into one.
That old Lawgiver wasn't learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians for nothing. It scared people well a couple of hundred years ago when Sir John Marsham and Dr. John Spencer ventured to tell their stories about the sacred ceremonies of the Egyptian priesthood. People are beginning to find out now that you can't study any religion by itself to any good purpose.
And at whiles a train rushed upon the ear, held it, and died away; or a breeze crept among the dead beech leaves at his feet. Otherwise not a sound or show of life; Marsham was alone with night and himself. Twenty-four hours little more since on that same hill-side he had held Diana in his arms in the first rapture of love. What was it that had changed?
But I'm not going to be lectured out of my purposes secondhand by Mr Bott or old Mother Marsham. I understand all these people, my dear. And if you throw me over, Alice, I'll never forgive you," Lady Glencora added. After this Alice resolved that she would not throw her friend over. She was afraid to do so.
