But we have to do with monstrous social tyrannies. Lilian can no longer live in hiding. She must have a full and enjoyable life." "Yes. But is it possible for her, under these conditions?" "I think so. I have still to speak to her, but I know she will see things as I do." A very faint smile flitted over Glazzard's lips. "Good! And you don't fear discovery by what's his name Northway?"
"Does she know?" "No." "What have you to say to her, then?" They looked into each other's eyes for a moment. Northway was gauging the strength of her character, and he half believed that by an exertion of all his energy he might overcome her, lead her away at once.
"I have bad news for you. Northway has come back; he called at the cottage about seven o'clock. I didn't let him know Lilian was there, and soon got rid of him; he said he would have to see you again. Lilian was dreadfully agitated, and when I happened to leave the room, she went out disappeared I thought she must have come home " "What do the servants say?" "They haven't seen her."
He took the glass to drink, but it slipped from his nervous fingers and crashed on the ground. "Never mind; let it be there. I have had whisky enough. This damned fellow Northway soon called upon them, and was allowed to come as often as he liked. He was a clerk in a commercial house gave references which were found to be satisfactory enough, a great talker, and of course a consummate liar.
In face she was not greatly changed from what he had known, but her voice and accent were new to him more refined, more mature, and he could not yet overcome the sense of strangeness. He felt as though he were behaving with audacity; it was necessary to remind himself again and again that this was no other than Lilian Allen nay, Lilian Northway; whose hand he had held, whose lips he had kissed.
I was deceived, and cruelly. You did me an injury you could never have made good." Northway drew in his cheeks, and stared at her persistently. He had begun to examine the details of her costume her pretty hat, her gloves, the fur about her neck.
Lilian rose to her feet, and moaned despairingly. "You won't let him come into this room? What does he want? He told us he would never come again. Is he seeking more money?" "He sha'n't come in here. I'll see him as I did before." As she spoke, a rat-tat sounded from without, and, having advised Lilian to lock the door, Mrs. Wade crossed to the other room. Northway entered, grave and nervous.
Party politics are no good no good at all. You working men ought to have the sense to form a party of your own." It was Northway, addressing a cluster of mill-hands, and evidently posing as one of a superior class who deigned to give them disinterested advice. She listened for a minute longer, but heard nothing that could excite her alarm. When she reached the house it was a quarter to ten.
Denzil's impulse was to annihilate his contemptible enemy with fierceness of look and word; and in Northway jealousy fought so strongly with prudence that a word of anger would have driven him to revengeful determination. But a few moments of silence averted this danger. Quarrier said to himself that there was no use in half measures.
I need not tell you that I never had the faintest suspicion of what I have just learnt." This was said certainly not in a voice of indignation but with a sadness which implied anything but approval. Northway, after trying to hold his hat in a becoming way, placed it on the floor, clicking with his tongue the while and betraying much nervousness.
