"It is not a cloud," said Thornberry; "it is a storm, a tempest, a wreck but not only for me. Your great relative, my Lord Roehampton, must look to it, I can tell you that. What is happening in this country, and is about to happen, will not be cured or averted by commercial treaties mark my words." "But what would cure it?" said Endymion.
It was past three o'clock; she jumped out of bed, and, merely in her slippers and her robe de chambre, descended to the library. It was a large, long room, and Lord Roehampton worked at the extreme end of it. The candles were nearly burnt out. As she approached him, she perceived that he was leaning back in his chair.
And we know from him that more than a year ago something was contemplated. The son gave up his living then; he has remained at Rome ever since. And now I am told he returns to us, the Pope's legate and an archbishop in partibus!" "It is most interesting," said Lady Montfort. "I was always his great admirer." "I know that; you and Lady Roehampton made me go and hear him.
Treeby could have left him there, and the traveller might have remained a week, told all he had seen, and as much more as he liked. My lord cannot stand Treeby more than two days, and Treeby cannot stand my lord for a longer period, and that is why they are such friends." "A sound basis of agreement," said Lord Roehampton. "I believe absence is often a great element of charm."
The time was fast approaching when the inevitable year of seclusion would expire, and Lady Roehampton gave no indication of any change in her life and habits.
It seemed too bad to leave out the men who were in the trenches, so I drank one privately to them on my own. As I sat in my little ward that night I thought of the happy times we had had last Christmas in the convoy, only a short year before. After Christmas it was thought I was well enough to be fitted with an artificial limb, and in due course I applied to the limbless hospital at Roehampton.
But all were to be at their post in ten days, and there was a special notification that intelligence had been received of the arrival of Lord and Lady Roehampton at Gibraltar. Lady Roehampton, in her stately mansion in St. James' Square, found life very different from what she had experienced in her Andalusian dream.
The brother of Lady Roehampton had now become the private secretary of Mr. Sydney Wilton and the great friend of Lady Montfort. He was indeed only one of the numerous admirers of that lady, but he seemed not the least smiled on.
Beautiful, fascinating being, let me at least tell you of my love." Myra could not speak, but put her left hand to her face. Gently taking her other hand, Lord Roehampton pressed it to his lips. "From the first moment I met you, my heart was yours. It was love at first sight; indeed I believe in no other. I was amused with the projects of my friend, and I availed myself of them, but not unfairly.
"I have been, and am, extremely amused," she replied; "and now tell me, who is that young man at the very end of the table?" "That is my private secretary, Mr. Ferrars." "Ferrars!" "A brother of Lady Roehampton." "Present him to me after dinner." Endymion knew Lady Montfort by sight, though she did not know him. He had seen her more than once at the receptions of Mrs.
