It was on the tip of Morley's tongue to ask by whom, but the hardening of Anne's face and the flash of her dark eyes made him change his mind. All the same he concluded that there was someone by whom she might be summoned and guessed also that the obeying of the call would come as an unwilling duty. Mrs. Morley saw nothing of this.
Tyson's face lost something of its militant expression when he read the name "Sir Peter Morley," and he smiled up through the banisters at his wife as she came downstairs to greet him. "Ha, Molly, I see Morley's looked us up again. He couldn't very well be off it much longer." "He called about the elections." "Oh I thought you were out?" "So I was. I met him in the drive and made him come in."
And make it five bob, governor. I've done my best. 'You must stop the night here, said Henry in a low voice to Geraldine, before opening the doors of the hotel. 'And I, he added quickly, 'will go to Morley's. It's round the corner, and so I can't lose my way. 'Yes, dear, she acquiesced. 'I dare say that will be best. 'Your eyes are a little black with the fog, he told her.
"Don't hurry," Bristow said with a touch of sarcasm. "You're too good at missing trains anyway. Besides, we want to know what you did between midnight and two-ten this morning, and why you failed to tell us this morning that you didn't register at the Brevord until after two." Morley's face went white. "There wasn't anything to that," he explained. "I didn't mean to conceal anything.
A brown mist hangs over the dull area of Trafalgar square. The bells of old St. Martin's church have chimed merrily out their last night peal; the sharp voice of the omnibus conductor no longer offends the ear; the tiny little fountains have ceased to give out their green water, and the lights of the Union Club on one side, and Morley's hotel on the other, throw pale shadows into the open square.
I propose to remain in town for a brief time, though I am off to Oxford to-night, to visit an old friend, and will not be back until to-morrow afternoon. Would you find it convenient to give me a call to-morrow night at eight o'clock, at Morley's Hotel?" Jack was silent; his face expressed the surprise he felt.
A degree of jauntiness appears in the worse specimens of these imitations, and Lord Morley's criticism that Emerson himself was too oblivious of the dark side of human suffering and guilt would doubtless apply to much of the Unitarian eloquence at one time inspired by his witching voice.
He waited until he was outside to open it, and with the utmost amazement he read the contents: "Pentonville Prison. "My Dear Sir Lucius I see by the papers that you are in town temporarily, so I address you at Morley's instead of Priory Court. A very curious thing has happened.
Turn to the left as you leave the bridge, under the arch made by Cosimo's passage, and you are in the Via de' Bardi, the backs of whose houses on the river-side are so beautiful from the Uffizi's central arches, as Mr. Morley's picture shows. At the end of the street is an archway under a large house. Go through this, and you are at the foot of a steep, stone hill.
Morley's administration as feeble, vacillating, and as likely to encourage crime. They speak of their duties in despondent tones. I have from time to time given their sentiments, which are unvarying. They know not what to do, and complain that while they continue to be held responsible they dare not follow up their duties with the requisite energy.
