But I own it would hurt me that in the event of his death there would be no Ormiston at Ormiston after these many generations. In all probability the place would be sold immediately, moreover, for it is an open secret that, through no fault of his own, poor man, William is sadly embarrassed in money matters.
But however we may depreciate its origin, the conviction was there, widespread in the townships: young Ormiston would "get clear"; the case for the defence might be heard over every bushel of oats in Elgin market-place. In Elgin itself opinion was more reserved.
"And Leoline seems to have as many lives as a cat! Who can she be a princess in disguise eh, Ormiston?" "She looks fit to be a princess, or anything else; but your lordship knows as much about her, now, as I do." "You say she was dressed as a bride how came that?" "Simply enough. She was to be married to-night, had she not taken the plague instead." "Married?
He had paid her the four fifty-dollar notes actually traced, the night before she left, and said. "You won't need to break these here, will you?" He seemed anxious that she should not, but it was the merest accident that she hadn't. In all, she had received from Mr Ormiston four hundred and fifty dollars. No, she had no suspicion that the young man might not be in a position to make such payments.
Ormiston, who had an hereditary racial appreciation of anything approaching a fight, turned her round eyes first on one speaker and then on the other provokingly, inciting them to more declared hostilities, while she bit her lips in her effort to avoid spoiling sport by untimely laughter or speech.
If my memory serves me, you have told me that little fact several times before. Is there anything else tormenting you, or may I go in?" Ormiston groaned out an oath between his teeth, and La Masque raised one jeweled, snowy taper finger, reprovingly. "Don't Mr. Ormiston it's naughty, you know! May I go in?" "Madame, you are enough to drive a man mad.
"Who are you?" demanded Sir Norman, drawing out his sword, and wrenching himself free from his unseen companion. "Ah! it is you, is it? I thought so," said a not unknown voice. "I have been calling you till I am hoarse, and at last gave it up, and started after you in despair. What are you doing here?" "You, Ormiston!" exclaimed Sir Norman, in the last degree astonished.
He glanced at his son inviting support, but that gentleman was engaged in kindly conversation with bright-eyed, little Godfrey Ormiston. He glanced at Mary remembered suddenly that his unfortunate remark regarding that lady had been connected with her resemblance to her father, and the latter's striking defect of personal beauty. He glanced at the doctor.
Ormiston spoke with such fierce earnestness, that there was no doubting his sincerity; and Sir Norman became profoundly shocked so much so, that he did not speak again until they were almost at the door. Then he opened his lips to ask, in a subdued tone: "She has predicted the future for you what did she foretell?"
There were few people abroad, except the watchmen walking slowly up and down before the plague-stricken houses; but in every street they passed through they noticed huge piles of wood and coal heaped down the centre. Smoking zealously they had walked on for a season in silence, when Ormiston ceased puffing for a moment, to inquire: "What are all these for?
