They returned to the study; and while the Warden took his pipe, Redclyffe, considering that, as the guest of this hospitable Englishman, he had no right to continue a stranger, thought it fit to make known to him who he was, and his condition, plans, and purposes.
Redclyffe remained in this way, gazing at this aged figure; at first without the least wonder, but calmly, as we feel in dreams, when, being in a land of enchantment, we take everything as if it were a matter of course, and feel, by the right of our own marvellous nature, on terms of equal kindred with all other marvels.
And so, the better they came to know one another, the greater was their mutual liking. "I fear I am getting too strong to burden you much longer," said Redclyffe, this morning. "I have no pretence to be a patient now." "Pooh! nonsense!" ejaculated the Warden. "It will not be safe to leave you to yourself for at least a month to come.
"You are come!" said Redclyffe, solemnly. "But too late!" "And yonder is the coffer," said the pensioner. "Open but that; and our quest is ended." "That, if I mistake not, I can do," said Redclyffe.
Very mournful were poor Laura's sensations; but there was no remedy but to try to bewilder and drive them away in the bustle of preparation. Guy had to go and take his degree, and then return to make his own preparations at Redclyffe.
Redclyffe sat down, and sipped his claret, feeling a little ashamed of himself, as people are apt to do after a display of this kind. "You know the way to the English heart better than I do," remarked his Lordship, after a polite compliment to the speech. "Methinks these dull English are being improved in your atmosphere.
"But did you ever hear, among them," asked Redclyffe, "that the lost ancestor did not really die, was not murdered, but lived long, though in another hemisphere, lived long, and left heirs behind him?" "There is such a legend," said Lord Braithwaite. "Left posterity," continued Redclyffe, "a representative of whom is alive at this day."
Cheap editions of Ouida, Balzac's works, yellow backs of the most advanced order, will, as a rule, reward the inquirer, who otherwise might have had to content himself with 'The Heir of Redclyffe, the Lily Series, and Miss Strickland's 'Queens of England."
Indeed, Guy, I don't know whether it is a thing I ought to say, she added, blushing, 'but I think it would be dismal for you to go and live all alone at Redclyffe. 'Honestly, Amy, replied he, after a little pause, 'if you feel so, and your father approves, I don't think it will be better to wait.
Redclyffe smiled to himself, as he thus gave expression to what he really half fancied were Lord Braithwaite's feelings and purposes towards him, and he felt them in the kindness and sweetness of his demeanor, and his evident wish to make him happy, combined with his own subtile suspicion of some design with which he had been invited here, or which had grown up since he came.
