Did he make no allusion to his engagement to marry Miss Silvester at Craig Fernie? Didn't he try to pacify her by an apology of some sort?" The question roused Arnold's memory to make another effort. "Yes," he answered. "Geoffrey said something about being true to his engagement, or keeping his promise or words to that effect." "You're sure of what you say now?" "I am certain of it."
Then the people were all against Silvester. Then said Silvester, believe not thou that he hath named in the ear the name of Jesu Christ, but the name of some devil, know ye verily it is no great strength to slay a bull, for a man, or a lion, or a serpent may well slay him, but it is great virtue to raise him again to life, then if he may not raise him it is by the devil.
"Good-afternoon!" he said, and went on his way again by himself. Arnold followed, and stopped him. For a moment the two men looked at each other without a word passing on either side. Arnold spoke first. "You're out of humor, Geoffrey. What has upset you in this way? Have you and Miss Silvester missed each other?" Geoffrey was silent. "Have you seen her since she left Windygates?" No reply.
What would be the result if he roused new hopes by resuming the effort to trace Miss Silvester, and if he lost the trace a second time? He had only to look at his niece and to see. Could any consideration justify him in turning her mind back on the memory of the friend who had left her at the moment when it was just beginning to look forward for relief to the prospect of her marriage?
"What I do, Blanche, must be left to my discretion. If I find her there, I must act for the best. He knows Miss Silvester by sight, and he is sure that she has never noticed him. Whether she goes north or south, early or late, Duncan will have my orders to follow her. He is thoroughly to be relied on. If she takes the railway, I answer for it we shall know where she goes."
"Have I time to make it longer?" "Perhaps not. But let Miss Silvester see for herself that you have no time to make it longer. The train starts in less than half an hour. Put the time." "Oh, all right! and the date too, if you like." He had just added the desired words and figures, and had given the revised letter to Arnold, when Sir Patrick returned to announce that the gig was waiting.
Francis carried his message first unto St. Clare and then unto Brother Silvester.
Your letter he had not read. It is of the utmost importance, Miss Silvester, to let me see that correspondence before we part to-day." Anne made no answer. She sat with her clasped hands on her lap. Her eyes looked uneasily away from Sir Patrick's face, for the first time. "Will it not be enough," she asked, after an interval, "if I tell you the substance of my letter, without showing it?"
I have told you that Arnold Brinkworth was privately at Craig Fernie, with Miss Silvester, in the acknowledged character of her husband when we supposed him to be visiting the estate left him by his aunt. You refuse to believe it and I am about to put it to the proof. Is it your interest or is it not, to know whether this man deserves the blind belief that you place in him?"
Replied Brother Masseo: "As unto Brother Silvester, so likewise unto Sister Clare and her sisters, has Christ made answer and revealed: that it is His will that thou go throughout the world to preach, since He hath chosen thee not for thyself alone, but also for the salvation of others."
