Does does Dorothy care for you? Oh, you need not answer that; I think she does. Well, this war may change things." "Yes," said Rickerl, sadly. "I don't mean that," cried Jack; "Heaven knows I wouldn't have you hurt, Ricky; don't think I meant that " "I don't," said Rickerl, half smiling; "you risked your skin to save me half an hour ago."
Hold those horses, if you please, gentlemen. There's a wounded man here. Carry him to one of those houses. Marche, lift him, if you can. Hello! his arm is broken at the wrist. Go easy you, I mean Now!" Lorraine, aided by Jack, stepped from the post-chaise and stood shivering as two peasants came forward and lifted Rickerl.
He seemed to hear Molly Hesketh's voice, soft, ironical, upbraiding Sir Thorald; he seemed to see them all there in the sunshine Dorothy, Rickerl, Cecil, Betty Castlemaine he even saw himself strolling up to them, gun under arm, while Sir Thorald waved his wine-cup and bantered him. He looked at the river.
"The war is none of your affair," said Rickerl, flushing. "You brought it on yourself this hanging business. Good heavens! the whole thing makes me sick! I can't believe that two weeks ago we were all there together at Morteyn " "A pretty return you're making for Morteyn hospitality!" blurted out Jack. Then, shocked at what he had said, he begged Rickerl's pardon and bitterly took himself to task.
I'll stay in this garden of Eden until noon, if you like, then I'll drive our wounded man to Diekirch, where the Hôtel des Ardennes is as good an inn as you can find in Luxembourg, or in Belgium either. Then I'll follow you to Sedan." They all rose from the table; Lorraine came and held out her hand, thanking Grahame for his kindness to them and to Rickerl.
"I," said Cecil, "am going to drive Betty in the dog-cart." "She'll probably take the reins," said Sir Thorald, cynically. Cecil brandished his whip and looked determined; but it was Betty who drove him to Saint-Lys station, after all. The adieux were said, even more tearfully this time. Jack kissed his sister tenderly, and she wept a little on his shoulder thinking of Rickerl.
