The little figure kept its grace even in the huddled-up attitude. The face hidden in the chair, childishly, as though a child suffered pain, was lifted as Lady O'Gara touched the bronze-brown head. The misery of Stella's wide eyes shocked her. Stella's face was stained and disfigured by tears. The soft close hair, which she had taken to wearing plaited about her head, was ruffled and disordered.
Wade's; there was no reason to doubt the relationship. Would others see it? But Mrs. Wade hardly ever walked abroad. She seemed as much afraid of her fellow-creatures as any one could wish her to be. Lady O'Gara found herself seeking for another likeness. No; except for that slight redness in the hair there was nothing she could discover of Terence Comerford.
I frightened Baker from laying a hand on Georgie; I told him I'd kill him if I was to be hanged for it." The woman's eyes, no longer gentle, blazed at Lady O'Gara. "Hush! Hush!" she said. "He shall not trouble you. If he should come back..." "He's found us out no matter where we've been.
"I'd get up at any hour, m'lady," Susan said eagerly. "I'm a light sleeper: and it would only be to throw on something in a hurry." She looked scared, as though her peace of mind was threatened, and Lady O'Gara felt a pity for such manifest nervousness. Susan would forget her terror presently as she got further and further away from the bad days. Obviously she was very nervous.
Before anything could happen some one intervened, Terry O'Gara, dazzlingly clean as he always looked. "Here, you keep quiet, you ruffian!" he said, delivering a very neat blow just under the man's chin. "What is it all about, Patsy? Hadn't I better send for the police?" Mr. Baker had fallen back against the stone bench and subsided on to it, feeling his jaw bone.
The carriage re-passed the window, going slowly and without its occupant. Almost immediately came the sound of the knocker on the little hall-door. Lady O'Gara met Mrs. Comerford in the hall.
I kep' my old Shep tied up till he died. He was wicked and I wasn't afraid o' tinkers with him about. I saw her once when she didn't think any wan was peepin' in. She was cryin' on the dog's head an' him standin' patient, lickin' her now and again with his tongue. I never could bear the lick of a dog." Lizzie looked at Lady O'Gara with the most cunning eyes.
Many a one had tried to pump Patsy, the people had an inordinate curiosity about their "betters" and of late tongues had been very busy with the return of Mrs. Comerford and the reconciliation with Lady O'Gara: also with Miss Stella and her parentage. Those who tried to pump Patsy Kenny about these matters embarked, and they knew it, on perilous seas.
I should not have mentioned it ... I should have shown the ruffian the door, only that new District Inspector ... Fury ... a very good name for him ... mad as a hatter, I should say ... brought the fellow to me." "What is it all about, Sir Felix?" asked Lady O'Gara, in a voice of despair. "My dear lady, have I been trying you? I'm sorry." Sir Felix pulled himself together by a manifest effort.
She remembered something she had caught sight of at the end of a little cross-passage in Waterfall Cottage. There was a statue, a throbbing rosy lamp in the darkness. Mrs. Wade was at 7 o'clock Mass at the Convent every morning despite her recluse habits. She was a good woman, whatever there was in her past. Lady O'Gara recalled herself with a start to the things about her.
