Jane Repton's eyes filled with tears and her hand sought for her handkerchief. "Let's see what can be done," said Repton. "There's a mail-steamer of course, but you won't want to travel by that." "No." Repton worked out the sailings from Bombay and the other ports on the western coast of India while Stella leaned over his shoulder. "Look!" he said. "This is the best way.
Yet she had spoken, after all, no more indifferently than Repton was speaking now; and he was in a great stress of grief. Then Thresk's mind leaped to the weak point in all this chain of presumption. "But Ballantyne was found outside the tent," he cried with a little note of triumph. But it had no echo in Repton's reply. "I know. That makes everything so much worse." "What do you mean?"
Not for a moment could he pretend to do anything but welcome the news, to wish with all his heart that it was true. And it seemed probable news. There was the matter of that photograph. Thresk had carried it out to the Governor's house on Malabar Point on the very morning of his arrival in Bombay. He had driven on to Mrs. Repton's house after he had left it there.
Repton had been the witness, and which she related now, invested Ballantyne with horror. Thresk had left the camp at Chitipur with an angry contempt for him. The contempt passed out of his feelings altogether as he sat in Mrs. Repton's drawing-room. "I am not telling you what Stella has confided to me," said Mrs. Repton.
Ballantyne, was called upon a subpoena by the Crown and he testified that while he was a Collector at Agra he went up with his wife from the plains to the hill-station of Moussourie during a hot weather. The Ballantynes went up at the same time and occupied a bungalow next to Repton's. One night Repton's house was broken into.
The next meeting of the Specialities will be held in Olive Repton's room on Thursday next. There are several days between now and then; but to-morrow at four o'clock I mean to give a tea to all the club here. I invite you, one and all, to be present; and afterwards we can talk folly to our hearts' content. Listen, please, girls: the next item on my programme is that we invite dear Mr.
In this consistent level of irony there are undoubtedly exalted patches of more than merely verbal humour, such as, for example, Sir Charles Repton's jolly speech at the Van Diemens meeting, in which he outlines with enormous gusto the principles of procedure of modern finance. Now just see what that shilling will do! "In the first place it'll give publicity and plenty of it.
