Certainly this triumph over death beats even Dr. Gull's nursing of the Prince of Wales. It is the myth of Hercules and Alcestis. May 4th. Visit to Drummond Wolff at Boscombe. A further look at Southbourne. I chose the site I afterwards purchased. 8th. The King of the Belgians presided at the Literary Fund dinner. Disraeli made a capital speech. 18th. Visit to Mrs. Grote at Sheire.
Petersburg with an extradition warrant; and, from what he told me just now, he was just in time. Yes, it was the quickest way; they'd never have released you on any other consideration!" "No, I guess they wouldn't," I responded. "You've certainly done me a good turn, Lord Southbourne, saved my life, in fact. But what about this murder charge? Is it a farce, or what?
"And yet she sat next to Cassavetti at the Savage Club dinner, an hour or two before he was murdered; and you talked to her rather confidentially, under the portico." I tried bluff once more, though it doesn't come easily to me. I looked him straight in the face and said deliberately: "I don't quite understand you, Lord Southbourne.
They shared rooms at St. Petersburg. "Now why should Von Eckhardt run such a risk?" I asked. "Can't say; wish I could." "Where was he when poor Carson was done for?" "At Wilna, he says; he'd been away for a week." "Did he tell you about this Society, and its red symbol?" "'Pon my soul, you've missed your vocation, Wynn. You ought to have been a barrister!" drawled Southbourne.
He wasn't exactly an inspiriting companion just now; besides, I thought it possible that Southbourne might come to see me again; and I had determined to tackle him about that portrait, and try to exact the same pledge from him that I had from Jim. He might, of course, have shown it to a dozen people, as he had to Jim; and on the other hand he might not.
Southbourne never lost a chance of advertisement. The article ended with the announcement: "Sir George Lucas has undertaken the defence, and Mr. Wynn is, of course, prepared with a full answer to the charge." "Well, that seems all right, doesn't it?" I asked coolly. "All right?" spluttered Jim, who was more upset than I'd ever seen him.
I told her of my forthcoming interview with Southbourne, and the probability that I would have to leave London within forty-eight hours. She imparted the news to Jim in a voice that must have reached Anne's ears distinctly; but she made no sign. Was she going to continue my punishment right through the evening? It looked like it.
Yes, it was a preposterous charge!" "But it served its purpose all right," drawled Southbourne, strolling forward. "They'd have taken their time if I'd set them on your track just because you had disappeared. Congratulations, Wynn. You've had more than enough handshaking, so I won't inflict any more on you. Wonder what scrape you'll find yourself in next?"
Two days later I saw Lord Southbourne, and resigned my position as a member of his staff. I felt myself mean in one way, when I thought of how he had backed me right through that murder business, and before it, when he set Freeman on my track. He showed neither surprise nor annoyance; in fact he seemed, if anything, more nonchalant than usual. "Well, of course you know your own affairs best.
Oh, she may be capable of anything," said Wyvis, "but she does not do the things that she is capable of doing." "At any rate she is very kind to me now. She wrote to me a few days ago, and told me that she was sorry for our past misunderstanding. And she asked me to go and stay with her when she was married to Lord Southbourne and had a house of her own."
