Delbridge was passing, and, seeing them in his hands, he said, with his forced and commercial shrewdness: "If you have any idea of selling out, Mostyn, I'm in a shape now to take that stock off your hands." Mostyn's stare resolved itself into a glare of indecision. "What would be your price?" he asked, under his breath, and yet audibly "that is, in case I I found another use for the money?"
She put her hand lightly on Mostyn's. "I must go to my room now," she said. "I shall see you before you leave. I am going to do my best to subdue the premonition about you and me. It is so strong that it depresses me fairly takes my breath away. It is exactly as if we are not going to meet again, or something just as sad." Mostyn stood still, looking at her steadily.
Against Mostyn's appointment no one could raise any objection as, having been for some years at Poona, he understands the Mahrattas, and indeed is much liked by them, so that in any negotiations he would have far more chance of success than a stranger; but Carnac is hot headed and obstinate, with a very high idea of his own importance, and it is certain that there will be difficulties between him and Egerton."
As Mostyn's train ascended the grade leading up to the hamlet of Ridgeville, within a mile of which lay the little farm to which he was going, he sat at an open window and viewed the scene with delight, drawing into his lungs with a sense of restful content the crisp, rarefied air.
