My father came forward gravely, wrapped himself in another of his red cloaks, and sat down. I shivered in my blanket on the stair-head, but I could not bear to move nor yet reveal myself. This was better than any play I had ever watched from the sparred gallery of the palace, to which Gottfried Gottfried took me sometimes when the mummers came from Brandenburg to divert Duke Casimir.
At thought of her, the forest faded from before me, and I saw her again as I had seen her last, looking down upon me from the stair-head, and her kiss was warm upon my lips. "We are ready, Lieutenant Stewart," called Pennington, and I shook my forebodings from me as I strode back toward him.
Lucia darted in, and Tom shut the door behind her, and waited at the stair-head. "Better," thought he, "to let the two poor creatures settle their own concerns. It must end soon, in any case." Lucia rushed to the bed-side, drew back the curtains "Tom!" moaned Elsley. "Not Tom! Lucia!" "Lucia? Lucia St. Just!" answered he, in a low abstracted voice, as if trying to recollect.
She will be pleased to see you back again if you and your friend call. After you've paid the lawing," she added, smiling like a rogue. "That will we," said I; but I hung on the stair-head, and she leaned on the inner sill of the stair window. We got into a discourse upon old days, that brought a glow to my heart the brandy I forgot had never brought to my head.
That moment Devereux was on his feet. It was the apparition of Devereux; a blue fire gleaming in his eyes, not a word from his white lips, while three seconds might have ticked from Mrs. Irons's prosy old clock on the stair-head; his slender hand was outstretched in appeal and defiance, and something half-celestial, half-infernal the fallen angelic in his whole face and bearing.
The door was shut instantly, and I found myself standing at it, and looking out upon the lobby, with a candle in my hand, and actually freezing with foolish horror. I was looking towards the stair-head. The passage was empty and ended in utter darkness.
She followed him to the stair-head, and watched him as he descended with eyes that took pride in the fine upright carriage of that stalwart, masterful lover. Sir Oliver's wisdom in being the first to bear Rosamund the story of that day's happenings was established anon when Master Godolphin returned home.
On the contrary, the kindly old woman who had rushed from the front window and bent over him as he lay unconscious on the stair-head, saw him presently open his eyes and stir, and heard the faint, bewildered murmur of "to hell with the Pope," which is what Orangemen say mechanically when they come to, as others may say, "Where am I?" Very soon he sat up, dizzily.
He was blind then to the old men sneering at him there; his head seemed charged with coiling vapours; his heart, that had been dancing a second ago on the wave of passion, swamped and sank. He had no more to say; he passed them and left the room and went along the lobby to the stair-head, where he stood till the vapours had somewhat blown away.
But let me call father. Father! father! Chut! the man's as deaf as little Tom Hommy. Father!" called Grannie, bustling about at the stair-head in a half-demented way. There was some commotion below, and the voice on the stairs was saying, "This way? No, sir. That way, if you plaze." "D'ye hear him, Kirry?" cried Grannie, putting her head back into the room. "That's the man himself.
