She ain't downstairs so you can figure the rest out the same way I do." "De woman was kiddin' youse!" Rhoda Gray, alias Gypsy Nan, cackled derisively. "Dere ain't nobody here but me." "We'll see about that!" said Rough Rorke shortly. "Strike a light!" "Aw, strike it yerself!" retorted Rhoda Gray. "I ain't yer servant! Dere's a candle over dere on de washstand against de wall, if youse wants it."

"Where is my granddaughter, Judy?" he asked, with a frown. Judy was no favourite of his. "She isn't here at all," she observed; and then jerking her thumb over her shoulder in the direction of some outhouses, "she went acrass to the dairy a while ago." Peter Rorke grunted, and, without another glance at the old woman, began to walk at a rapid pace in the direction she had indicated.

What did she mean by treating him so, and for whom? One day he would be Lord Mount Rorke! The Brookes knew nobody. He had only met a lot of cads at their house; they did not know any one but cads. The Brookes were cads! The father was a vulgar old City man, who talked about money and bought ridiculous pictures. The girls, too, were vulgar and coarse. God only knew how many lovers they had not had.

I am glad to get away from town. I like no place like this. I don't know if it is the place or the associations." "You are used to much finer places. I can fancy Mount Rorke the lakes and the mountains; somehow I think I can see it. Isn't it strange, there are certain things and places you can realise so much better than others, and for no very understandable reason?"

I don't mind telling you that Mount Rorke often suspected you of being a bit of a poacher." Mike laughed. "I believe I have knocked down a pheasant or two. I was an odd mixture half a man of action, half a man of dreams. My position in Cashel was unbearable. My mother was a lady; my father you know how he had let himself down.

Mount Rorke was upset; but I would not give in, and I think I should have won his consent in the long run.

He compared it with Ireland; Mount Rorke, with its towers, and lakes, and woods arose, and he was grateful that Maggie was going there, yet he was sure that he could not live without sometimes seeing this village where he had found so much happiness.

Every one was ill, I most of all." She received a post-card: "It was raining cats and dogs when I got out of the train. Mount Rorke sent a car to meet me; the result is that I am in bed with a bad cold. The house is full of company people I have known, or known of, since I was a boy; we shall begin pheasant-shooting in a few days. When I am out of bed I shall write a long letter.

She did all she could to get you to make it up when you met her here at dinner the dinner was given for that but you said nothing about it, and she came home in an awful state, accusing every one of combining to ruin her. She said I was jealous of her, that I was wild with fear that she would one day be Lady Mount Rorke.

Yours very truly, MOUNT RORKE." "MY DEAR FRANK, The enclosed is a copy of the letter which I send by this post to Mr. Brookes. And I make no disguise of the fact that it was written with the full intention of rendering your marriage an impossibility. It will no doubt appear to you a harsh and cruel letter; it will no doubt grieve you, madden you in your rage you may call me a brute.
