Margery had made her own private use of one of Mr. Restall's invitation cards. She might have serious reasons for pushing caution to its last extreme. Cosway looked at her significantly. "The least I can do is not to be indiscreet," he whispered and left her. He turned into a side walk; and there he met Adela at last! It seemed like a fatality.
Cosway was punctual to his appointment. He knocked three times; he pronounced Miss Restall's Christian name. Nothing happened. He waited a while, and tried again. This time Adela's voice answered strangely from the shrubbery in tones of surprise: "Edwin, is it really you?" "Did you expect any one else?" Cosway asked. "My darling, your message said ten o'clock and here I am."
It might do anything." Those were the brighter days of motoring. The next time I went over released from Restall's limitations, and stayed to a jolly family supper. I found remarkably few obstacles in my way to a better acquaintance with Rachel. You see I was an entirely eligible and desirable young man in Mrs. More's eyes....
The one remarkable event had been an interview between "Miss Benshaw" and herself. No other person had been present; but the little that was reported placed Miss Restall's character above all praise. She had forgiven the woman who had so cruelly injured her!
The first clause of her will contained the testator's grateful recognition of Adela Restall's Christian act of forgiveness. Cosway Benshaw's fortune on the one merciless condition that she did not marry Edwin Cosway.
The result, from his point of view, led him into a change of residence. He left his hotel and took a lodging in the nearest bystreet to Mr. Restall's palace at Kensington. "Pray be careful," Miss Restall wrote; "I have tried to get you a card for our garden party. But that hateful creature, Margery, has evidently spoken to my father; I am not trusted with any invitation cards.
This was the first warning which opened the eyes of the good lawyer to the nature of the "friendship" already established between his two guests. He knew Miss Restall's illustrious father well, and he feared that it might soon be his disagreeable duty to bring Cosway's visit to an end. On a certain Saturday afternoon, while Mr.
Restall's head to send his daughter abroad tomorrow." Cosway attempted to make her speak more plainly. "Is this wretch a man or a woman?" he said. Miss Benshaw proceeded without noticing the interruption. "You needn't be afraid, Mr. Cosway; Miss Restall will not leave England. Your enemy is all-powerful.
