It will happen and most ominously I feel that you are courting a dreadful retaliation, and that you will bring on yourself a great misfortune; but it is quite vain, I know, speaking to you. 'Really, Radie, you're enough to frighten a poor fellow; you won't mind a word I say, and go on predicting all manner of mischief between me and Wylder, the very nature of which I can't surmise.
'Let me help you off with these things, Miss Radie, dear. The young lady did not seem to hear, but she allowed Tamar to remove her cloak and hat and handkerchief. The old servant had placed the tea-things on the table, and what remained of that wine of which Stanley had partaken on the night from which the eclipse of Rachel's life dated.
'Advise! said Rachel, softly; but with a wild and bitter rage ringing under it. 'I did advise when it was yet time to profit by advice. I bound you even by a promise to take it, but you know how it ended. You don't want my advice. 'But really I do, Radie. I quite allow I was wrong worse than wrong but where is the use of attacking me now, when I'm in this dreadful fix?
'It is an odd fancy, living alone here. 'An odd necessity, Stanley. 'Aren't you afraid of being robbed and murdered, Radie? he said, leaning forward to smell at the pretty bouquet in the little glass, and turning it listlessly round. 'There are lots of those burglar fellows going about, you know. 'Thank you, dear, for reminding me. But, somehow, I'm not the least afraid.
I know nothing of your doings, Stanley Heaven forbid! but be warned, or you'll rue it. 'Why, Radie, you know nothing of the world. Do you suppose I'm quite demented? Ask a gentleman for his estate, or watch, because I know something to his disadvantage!
'Do you recollect, Radie, what I said that morning when I first called here, and saw you? 'Perhaps I do, but I don't know what you mean, answered she. 'I said, Mark Wylder 'Don't name him, she said, rising and approaching him swiftly. 'I said he should go abroad, and so he shall, said Lake, in a very low tone, with a grim oath. 'Why do you talk that way?
'That's a devilish fine girl, said Mark Wylder. He was sitting at this moment on the billiard table, with his coat off and his cue in his hand, and had lighted a cigar. He and I had just had a game, and were tired of it. 'Who? I asked. He was looking on me from the corners of his eyes, and smiling in a sly, rakish way, that no man likes in another. 'Radie Lake she's a splendid girl, by Jove!
'So I was; but I arrived here this morning; I'm staying for a few days at the Lodge Larkin's house; you're going home, I suppose, Radie? 'Yes oh, yes but I don't know that I'll go this way. You say you must return to Gylingden now, Mr. Wylder; I think I'll turn also, and go home that way.
And I assure you, dear Radie, there is not the least truth in that story about Lady Constance. Why should Dorcas be so earnest to convince her handsome cousin that there was nothing in this rumour? Rachel made no remark, and there was a little silence.
'What do you think of all this, Radie this particular version, I mean, of marriage, a-la-mode, they are preparing up there? and he made a little dip of his cane towards Brandon Hall, over his shoulder. 'I really don't think Wylder cares twopence about her, or she about him, and Stanley Lake laughed gently and sleepily. 'I don't think they pretend to like one another. It is quite understood.
