"The police could only construe your visit to Moyne's flat as zeal on behalf of the bank.
"Nowadays," said Lady Moyne, "when the industrial proletariate is breaking free from all control, it is a splendid thing for us to have a cause in which we take the lead, which will bind our working classes to us, and make them loyal to those who are after all their best friends and their natural leaders." I quite saw Lady Moyne's point.
"It is the Miss Harrison I told you about. She is looking at us." Carlotta's eyes were blinded for a moment by the glare of the house lights. She dropped into her chair, with a flash of resentment at the proximity of the other table. She languidly surveyed its two occupants. Then she sat up, her eyes on Le Moyne's grave profile turned toward the valley.
On the Wednesday before the day fixed for the Belfast demonstration, a meeting of the Ulster Unionist leaders was held in London. Moyne was at it. Lady Moyne, although the absurd conventions of our political life prevented her being present in person, was certainly an influence in the deliberations. She gave a dinner-party the night before in Moyne's town house.
"Oh," I said, "then Lady Moyne got a subscription out of him after all. I knew she intended to." "Lady Moyne isn't in this at all," said McNeice. "We're out for business with The Loyalist. Lady Moyne's well, I don't quite see Lady Moyne running The Loyalist." "She's a tremendously keen Unionist," I said.
I kept my seat and watched Babberly whispering earnestly to Lady Moyne. Malcolmson followed the Dean. Moyne leaned over to me and expressed a hope that Malcolmson was not going to commit us to anything outrageous. From the look of Malcolmson's eye as he rose I judged that Moyne's hope was a vain one. "The Dean," said Malcolmson, "has spoken to you about the campaign.
Lugena came, and showed her scarred form; brought her beaten children, and told her tale of sorrow. The past was black enough, but the shadow of a greater fear hung over the little hamlet. They feared for themselves and also for her. They begged her to go back to Mr. Le Moyne's. She smiled and shook her head with a soft light in her eyes.
I hate parties, such as those which Godfrey instigates me to give, which have no object except that of merely being parties, the bare collection together of human beings in their best clothes. I was, therefore, greatly pleased when I discovered that my original guess was right and that Lady Moyne's party was definitely political. I found this out when I arrived in the drawing-room before dinner.
Nature was waking from slumber not to the full, boisterous wakefulness which greets the broad day, but the half-consciousness with which the sluggard turns himself for the light, sweet sleep of the summer morning. There was a tap at the open window that stood at the head of Hesden Le Moyne's bed. His room was across the hall from his mother's, and upon the same floor.
He was thinking of the red flower in Maren Le Moyne's black hair and a vexation, past all reason held him. But the spring was open and there was soon more to occupy his mind than a maid and a posy and a reckless blade from Montreal.
