Just made up my mind to do it. Saves hotel expenses. Well your cockle-shell is waiting. Give my regards to the family particularly to Shiela." He looked curiously at Hamil; "particularly to Shiela," he repeated; but Hamil missed the expression of his eyes in the dusk. "Are you really going to throw us over like this?" demanded Portlaw as the young men turned back together across the deck.
"Get a pad and pencil," whispered Lady Tressilvain to Shiela. So Shiela left the table, found a pad and pencil, and seated herself near a candle by the window; and as each letter was rapped out by the table, she put it down in order.
Here the light of a row of hanging lanterns fell on us. And they saw us, the Governor and his son and the assembled guards, and came charging down across the lawn after us. But only two abreast could they come down the path. "The boat is now but a hundred yards away, Miss Shiela," said Captain Blaise. "Guy will take you there. Go you, too, Ubbo."
She seated herself under the wall, lying back against it; he lay extended on the marble shelf beside her, studying the moonlight on her face. "What was it you had to tell me, Shiela? Remember I am going in the morning." "I've turned cowardly; I cannot tell you.... Perhaps later.... Look at the Seminole moon, Garry.
So Hamil dismounted and handed his bridle to the Indian; then Shiela cast her own bridle loose across the pommel, and touching her horse with both heels, rode forward, hands in her jacket pockets. And Hamil walked beside her, one arm on the cantle. Into blank obscurity the horse moved, bearing to the left a direction which seemed entirely wrong.
I've heard various tales about you from three sources, to-day; from an old friend, Louis Malcourt from another, Virginia Suydam and steadily during the last month including to-day from Shiela Cardross. But I couldn't find a true verdict until the accused appeared personally before me. Tell me, Mr. Hamil, do you plead guilty to being as amiable as the somewhat contradictory evidence indicates?"
Expecting him to pass his way as usual, she nodded with civil indifference, and continued her reading. "I want to ask you something," he said, "if I may interrupt you." "What is it, Louis?" "May I draw up a chair?" "Why if you wish. Is there anything I can do for you? " closing her book. "Is there anything I can do for you, Shiela?" A tinge of colour came into her cheeks.
And he looked back, love's tragedy dawning in his gaze, yet forcing the smile that the very young employ as a defiance to destiny and an artistic insult in the face of Fate; that Fate which looks back so placid and unmoved. "Can you forgive me, Shiela?" "Look at me?" she whispered. A few moments later she hastily disengaged her hand.
Which formalities always fretted Wayward, and he stood about, morose and ungracious, while Constance floated prettily here and there, and at last turned with nicely prepared surprise to encounter Shiela and Hamil seated just behind her. The younger girl, rising, met her more than half-way with gloved hand frankly offered; Wayward turned to Hamil in subdued relief. "Lord!
"I am; Shiela won't." She frowned. "It's just as it was two years ago when Louis Malcourt tagged after her every second. It's stupid, but we can't count on them any more." "Does does Malcourt " "Tag after Shiela? Haven't you seen it? You've been too busy to notice. I wish you wouldn't work every minute. There was the jolliest sort of a dance at the O'Haras' last night while you were fast asleep.
