I am pleased that you should become acquainted. My niece, Darsie Garnett. Noreen, Ida, and Ralph Percival... Now we will have tea!" The voice, the manner, were absolutely normal. Was it possible that she had not seen? Darsie shot a quick glance at the old lady's face, met an unconcerned smile, and for the first time in the history of their acquaintance felt a thrill of admiration.
Noreen was encouraged, and a becoming colour flushed her face at the applause. The last couple to ride tied with them, the lady taking all the rings, her partner getting the Turk's head and one peg and touching the second. The tie was run off at once.
He hastily applied his flask to the man's lips. Although he grudged the time, Dermot felt that the wounded man's attempt to defend Noreen entitled him to have his wound attended to even before any effort was made to rescue her. So he had the syce carried to his hut, and then, taking out his surgical case, he cleansed and sewed up the gash. But his thoughts were busy with Noreen's peril.
"What about visitors?" asked Lilias. "It would be much more of a party if we had a few of the others in." "We don't want a crowd, or we might as well be in the dining-hall," objected Bertha. "Well, of course we shouldn't ask the whole school, naturally, but perhaps just Noreen and Phillida!" "We must get at the soft spot in Miss Walters' heart," decided Gowan.
Yes, if I'd seen you here I'd have told it, I'm sure. I'm not all bad." Sheila leaned over the bed. "Never mind about the past. You can help a man back to the good opinion of the world now." "I hurt you too," said Noreen with hopeless pain. "You were his friend." "I believed in him always even when he did not deny the crime," was the quiet reply.
Noreen, to her delight, found the three rings on her cue when she pulled up at the end of the course, although she hardly remembered taking them, while Charlesworth had made no mistake. Daunted by this result, their rivals lost their heads and missed everything in their second run.
During the evening Noreen saw Chunerbutty standing at the door of the ballroom with the fat man, who was now adorned with jewels and wearing a magnificent diamond aigrette in his puggri, and gloating with a lustful gaze over the bared necks and bosoms of the English ladies.
A few moments later they stood in the bedroom of Noreen Boyne, they two and Sheila Llyn, the nurse having been sent out. Lord Mallow looked down on the haggard, dying woman with no emotion. Only a sense of duty moved him. "What is it you wished to say to me?" he asked the patient. "Who are you?" came the response in a frayed tone. "I am the governor of the island Lord Mallow."
"He isn't very well," replied the girl. "He's suffering from fever." "Oh, really? I am so sorry to hear that," exclaimed the older woman. "So sad for you, dear. However did you force yourself to leave him?" Noreen looked at her in surprise. "Why not? We could do nothing for him," she said. "We sent him soup and jelly made by our cook, and Fred went to see him before we started.
"All right, only twenty-two, come back with three hits on you and your elephant up to his eyes in blood and and well, hang it all, Major, let's have some more details." "Come, Miss Daleham," Payne broke in, "you tell us what happened. I know Dermot, and we won't get any more out of him." "Yes; let's hear all about it, Noreen," said her brother. "I'm sure it wasn't as tame as the Major says."
