Breakfast passed without Mary's having learned anything of George's departure or Ruthven's arrival. On rising from the table she went to her window: scarcely was she there than she heard the sound of a horn echoing on the shores of the lake, and saw a little troop of horsemen halt, while waiting for the boat to came and take those who were going to the castle.
Meanwhile, the unconscious object of this hatred, oppressed by the overwhelming crowds constantly assembling at Perth to do him homage, retired to Huntingtower-a castle of Lord Ruthven's, at some distance from the town.
Thus did he muse, and thus did envy open a way into his soul for those demons to enter which were so soon to possess it with the fellest designs. The issue of Ruthven's claims did not lessen Lord Athol's hatred of the regent.
"Clothes be bothered," Ruthven said. "I certainly shall end by punching your head, Frank, before the day's out." Frank remonstrated no more, but committed himself entirely to his friend's guidance. At the Mansion House they mounted on the roof of an omnibus going west, and at Knightsbridge got off and walked to Eaton Square, where Ruthven's father resided.
She has shifted her milieu somewhat it began with the influx of Ruthven's friends from the 'yellow' section of the younger married set the Orchils, Fanes, Minsters, and Delmour-Carnes. Which is all right if she'd stay there. But in town you're likely to encounter anybody where the somebodies of one set merge into the somebodies of another.
Get a sheet of paper from that desk. Now, write out a list of the loans made you by Neergard. . . . Every cent, if you please. . . . And the exact amount you placed to Mrs. Ruthven's credit. . . . Have you written that? Let me see it." The boy handed him the paper.
"Oh, I think I had better not say." "But you must tell me, Jack; I insist upon knowing." "He told Darcy that I was a nobody, and that I would have to go away some day." At these words Mrs. Ruthven's face flushed angrily. "St. John is taking too much upon his shoulders," she cried. "This is no business of his."
Ruthven's brougham. But, oh, if he had only stayed if he had only remained! this friend of hers who had been so nice to her from the moment he came into her life so generous, so considerate, so lovely to her and to Gerald! For a moment the glow remained, then a chill doubt crept in; would he have remained had he known she was to be there? Where did he go after the dinner?
"I understand you are very much attached to the boy," went on Dr. Mackey smoothly. "It is a pity. Yes, he is truly my son." The tears came into Mrs. Ruthven's eyes, but she hastily brushed them away. "Jack does not look much like you," she declared. "That is true, but he bears a strong resemblance to my dead brother Walter, and that is what made me certain he is my son.
She may respond to it; but if she does not, do not be discouraged. One of her idiosyncrasies is a theoretical dislike of her work. But once she gets interested, nothing will hold her back. That's all, except this. In no event give away her secret. That's part of the compact, you remember." Driscoll nodded and left his seat for Ruthven's box.
