I'm damned go to hell and so on." The other parties present could not help laughing at this explosion from Cophagus, neither could I. Mr Masterton then asked the general if he required any more proofs. "No," replied the general discourteously; and speaking in Hindostanee to his attendants, they walked to the door and opened it.
In pursuance of this plan, he allowed himself to be taken prisoner by Henry Masterton, to whom he declared that he was really a Royalist in disguise. His next step was to obtain for the brothers an invitation from Lady Eleanor to quarter themselves at Penford-bourne.
With a business brevity that was hurried but not unkindly, he hoped Masterton had fully recovered. "Thanks to your daughter, I'm all right now," said Masterton. "I need not tell you that I believe I owe my life to her energy and courage, for I think you have experienced what she can do in that way.
Half an hour later I was taking over from the much-relieved Masterton in the ruins of what had once been a sugar-beet factory. There to my surprise I found Lefroy. The Boche had held him prisoner for precisely eight hours. During that time he had been so interested in watching the way the enemy handled an attack that he had forgotten the miseries of his position.
Lady de Clare, after the funeral of her husband had sent for the steward, made every necessary arrangement, discharged the servants, and then had herself disappeared, no one knew whither; but it was reported that somebody very much resembling her had been seen travelling south in company with a gang of gipsies. I handed both letters over to Lady de Clare and Mr Masterton.
"Well," replied Mr Masterton, "I hope you have been edified now get out of the way, and let us go into the carriage." "To-morrow at two, De Benyon," said Harcourt, taking another peep at Susannah. "Yes, punctually," replied I, as the carriage drove off.
"I thought, my lord, that Mr Masterton had informed you of what had taken place." "No; I have just come from a visit to my sisters in Westmoreland, and have received no letters from him." "I have, my lord, at last succeeded in finding out the object of my mad search, as you were truly pleased to call it, in the Honourable General De Benyon, lately arrived from the East Indies."
My rents were not yet due, and I was obliged to have recourse to this money. I therefore went into the city, and ordered the broker to sell out two hundred pounds, intending to replace it as soon as I could for I would not have liked that Mr Masterton should have known that I had lost money by gambling. When I returned from the city, I found Captain Atkinson in my apartments, waiting for me.
"HE is no account; he's only the laundryman from Rocky Canyon. I'm talkin' of the coolie gang." But here the conversation flagged, and the air growing keener, the flaps of the leather side curtains were battened down. Masterton gave himself up to conflicting reflections.
Arrived in London, he obtained some news of his brother from a goldsmith who had acted as the family banker for years past. Through the assistance of Lady Eleanor, Frank Masterton had been set at liberty and had taken his departure in the company of that lady to Paris. Thither, Henry determined to follow them.
