He did not come, though, as best she knew how, she had thrown all her heart into her letters. Then her spirit sank within her, and she sickened, and as her mother knelt over her, she allowed her secret to fall from her. Fred Neville's sitting-room at Ennis was not a chamber prepared for the reception of ladies.
Jess, with that acute sense of hearing which often accompanies nervous excitement, caught the sound of the little gate at the bottom of the garden almost before her visitor had passed through it, and ran round the corner of the house to see who was there. One glance at Mrs. Neville's tear-stained face was enough for her.
Philip had been obliged to call up his son John from the south, where he was observing the English under the Earl of Derby; thereupon the English overran all the south, taking Poitiers and finding no opposition. Queen Philippa of Hainault had also defeated and taken David of Scotland at Neville's Cross. The campaign of 1346-1347 was on all hands disastrous to King Philip.
Queen Philippa, however, raising an army, marched against him, and the Scotch were completely defeated at Neville's Cross, 15,000 being killed and their king himself taken prisoner. Walter's conduct at the battle of Cressy gained him still further the favour of the Black Prince.
In the evening I went to the theatre where I was much amused by 'The Comedy of Errors, and afterwards, 'The Green Room. I admire Miss Neville's singing very much; and her manners also; there is none of the actress about her, but much of the lady."
She would be to him only a passing soul, a wronged woman, a lonely widow, a neglected mother. After supper, Sir Godfrey drew the Archbishop aside into his private room, and told him, with fervent injunctions to secrecy, the sorrowful tale of his secluded prisoner. As much sternness as was in Archbishop Neville's heart contracted his brows and drew his lips into a frown.
"The evidence," she replied, "of Eveline Neville's real birth was in the Countess's possession, with reasons for its being for some time kept private; they may yet be found, if she has not destroyed them, in the left hand drawer of the ebony cabinet that stood in the dressing-room.
And then and there there came into Vera Neville's mind a thought that, beginning with nothing more than an indistinct and idle fancy, ended in a set and determined purpose. The thought was this: "If Sir John Kynaston ever comes down here, I will marry him." She said it to herself, deliberately and calmly, without the slightest particle of hesitation or bashfulness.
She told me once that she used to be sentimental when she was twenty. Was she?" "More than she is now, anyhow." Neville's voice was a little curt. She was not happy about Nan, who had just gone to Rome for the winter. "Well," Gerda said, "anyhow I'm not sentimental about not meaning to marry. I've thought about it for years, and I know." "Thought about it! Much you know about it."
