Meanwhile the sun of Victor Radnor's popularity was already up over the extended circle likely to be drenched by a falsification of his daring augury, though the scud flew swift, and the beeches raved, and the oaks roared and snarled, and pine-trees fell their lengths. Fine tomorrow, to a certainty! he had been heard to say.
So the mother's alarms were not raised. And really it was a pity, Mrs. Blathenoy said to Dartrey subsequently; finding him colder than before Mrs. Radnor's visit; it was a pity, because a young woman in Miss Radnor's position should not by any possibility be seen in association with a person of commonly doubtful appearance.
'My place at Lakelands? Mr. Radnor's clear-water eyes hardened to stony as their vision ran along the consequences of her having heard it. 'Earlier this time! he added, thrummed on the table, and thumped with knuckles. 'I make my stand at Lakelands for good! Nothing mortal moves me! 'That butler of hers 'Jarniman, you mean: he's her butler, yes, the scoundrel h'm-pah!
Allen was at that time residing. Here he remained about a month; and in returning to town made a short tour, in the course of which he inspected the collections of art at Storehead, Fonthill, Wilton House, the Cathedral of Salisbury, and the Earl of Radnor's seat at Longford. At Reading he staid some time with his half-brother, Mr. Thomas West, the eldest son of his father.
The crime was committed, if your data is straight, either by him or in his presence, and of course he disappears. You could scarcely have expected to find him sitting there waiting for you, in either case." "You mean Radnor's behavior on the day of the murder and his refusal to explain it?" I asked uneasily. "No," Terry laughed.
Terry watched me a moment without saying anything, and then he too shrugged his shoulders as he turned back to the newspaper clippings. "I won't go into the matter of Radnor's connection with the ha'nt just now; I should like to consider first his actions on the day of the murder. I have here a report of the testimony taken at the inquest, but it is not so full as I could wish in some particulars.
Radnor's pronunciation: he was born of the buzz of a troubled ear, coming of a disordered brain, consequent necessarily upon a disorderly stomach, that might protest a degree of comparative innocence, but would be shamed utterly under inspection of the eye of a lady of principle. What, then, was the value to his country of a servant who could not accurately recollect his master's words!
At the extreme corner of Flood Street and Queen's Road West stood Radnor House, called by Hamilton "Lady Radnor's House." In 1660, when still only Lord Robartes, the future Earl of Radnor entertained Charles II. here to supper. Pepys, the indefatigable, has left it on record that he "found it to be the prettiest contrived house" that he ever saw.
I swear he came yesterday on the chance of seeing for he forced his way up past my servant; he must have seen Miss Radnor's maid below. 'You don't mean, that he insulted her hearing? 'Oh! Captain Fenellan, you know the style. 'Well, I thank you, Dartrey said. 'The young lady is the daughter of my dearest friends. She's one of the precious you're quite right. Keep the tears back.
In consequence, I would most earnestly advise Mr. Calverley read no further, but came straightway into England. He had not been in England since his elopement, three years before that spring, with the Marquis of Umfraville's betrothed, Lord Radnor's daughter, whom Calverley had married at Calais. Mr.
