I that have broke the beds of Mutenies And bowde againe to faire obedience Those stubborne necks that burst the raynes of order, Shall I shrinck now and fall, shot with a rumour?
Henry Rayne was descended from a good old English family, whose name he bore proudly and honorably, and many an interesting anecdote he was wont to tell at his dinner table of the "Stephens," "Edwards," and "Henrys," of the bygone generations of "Raynes." With his private life was connected a sad little secret.
Yes, I'll take it to Sam; he shall keep it for me." Flushed, excited, her heart beating high, Carrie once more pinned on her hat. She ran downstairs. As she passed through the hall her mother was letting herself in with a latchkey. "My dear Carrie," she said, "you are not going out again at this hour of night?" "I shan't be long, mother. I am just going into Summer Terrace to see the Raynes."
"Not at all; just listen to me, and I am sure that you will leave me in peace. In a few moments, when we get to the station, you will see the Princesse de Raynes and Comtesse Henriot waiting for me with their husbands. I wished them to see as, and to know that we had spent the night together in the railway carriage. Don't be alarmed; they will tell it everywhere as a most surprising fact.
"It is a mighty unpalatable truth, I can tell you. I suppose, now, your next step will be to prosecute her to send the police after her, and have her locked up. Then you will ruin me too, for Sam Raynes not that he is overparticular, nor that he cares twopence about refinement, or anything of that sort would not care to marry a girl whose whose sister was put in prison.
You stole the money and gave it to Sam Raynes. You are a thief, and you have ruined your sister." "If you begin abusing me I shall certainly not stay awake any longer," said Carrie; "I'm dead with sleep as it is. Now, do put out the candle, like a good girl. I'm off to the Land of Nod." Carrie pulled the clothes over her head and struggled down among the pillows.
