The first real rebellion, and the first time that the eyes of people were opened to the amount of influence and authority that Miss Reinhart had acquired in Tayne Hall. One or two domestic matters had gone wrong nothing very much, but dinner was late several times, and the household machinery did not seem to run on as it had done.
During these latter years it has come, like so much of American work to-day, from beyond the seas. Whether or not that foreign language of which I just spoke never became, in New York, for this especial possessor of it, a completely convenient medium of conversation, is more than I can say; at any rate Mr. Reinhart eventually reverted to Europe and settled in Paris.
"Make your mind easy, Laura; you shall begin your lessons to-day, and we will see what mamma wishes to be done." That day an arrangement was made: Miss Reinhart and I were to breakfast and dine with papa; the morning, until two was to be devoted to my studies, and the rest of the day, if mamma desired her presence, Miss Reinhart was to spend with her.
"You do not know, Roland, when my maid and nurse are tired she often comes to sit with me in the dead of night, and we can talk about old times, even before you were born. She tells me about your mother and you when you were a little boy. I should not like to lose her. Miss Reinhart does not understand." "That settles the affair, my darling.
Then my father came up, too, and said that Miss Reinhart had better delay for a few days before beginning the routine of her duties so as to get used to the place. She seemed quite willing. "Laura," said Sir Roland, "will you take Miss Reinhart to her room?" But I clung to my mother's hand. "I cannot leave mamma," I said. "Please do not ask me." He turned from me with an apology.
Eastwood, after a long interview with my mother, had gone away to the cottage, and Miss Reinhart had brought some person, whom she appeared to know very well, on the scene. Many of the servants would believe that the new housekeeper was the governess' mother there was a certain similarity of face and figure between them; whether it was so or not, mattered little. From the hour that Mrs.
I got out my revolver, and woke Beulah, but as I said, 'Bob is going to kill Beulah and himself, she laughed that sweet child's laugh and clapping her hands said, 'Bob is so good to play with Beulah, and then I thought of that devil Reinhart and the other fiends of the 'System' being left to continue their work unhindered and I could not do it.
"If you will trust her to me, I will take the greatest care of her," said Miss Reinhart; "and I am sure, quite sure, that if Lady Tayne knew, she would insist on it she would indeed. She would be the last to wish you to give up every pleasure for her sake." It was the thin end of the wedge, but she succeeded in driving it in. He went.
Frau Reinhart had made advances to the girl; and with her usual cordiality had invited her to come and see her. The girl had come two or three times and they had talked. But the curious Lili had not so easily succeeded in finding out anything about the life of the little Frenchwoman; the girl was very reserved; she had had to worm her story out of her, bit by bit.
I remember-how emphatically father said: 'I tell you, John, even the discussion of such a proposition as that scoundrel Reinhart makes is degrading to an American's honour. He said it didn't make the least difference if Reinhart counted his millions by the score, and was director in thirty or forty great institutions, and gave a fortune every year for charity and to the church that he was a blackleg just the same.
