'I may have dreamed such a dream sometimes, Miss Darrell; but there are dreams that never fulfil themselves. He had recovered himself by this time, and spoke in his accustomed tone. Mr. Darrell asked him to dinner on an early day, when I knew the Rectory people were coming to us, and the invitation was accepted. Julian Stormont had followed Mrs.
He did not think Drummond could give him much trouble, but he might become something of a nuisance unless he was dealt with firmly. Stormont had not long since come back from the North, feeling disappointed and savage, for he had spent a good deal of money on the expedition. Besides, things had gone wrong at the office while he was away and he had lost some profitable business.
Darrell's remains to Thornleigh, and he was buried in the family vault under the noble old church, where his father and mother, his first wife, and a son who died in infancy had been buried before him. He had been very popular in the neighbourhood, and was sincerely regretted by all who had known him. Julius Stormont was chief-mourner at the unpretentious funeral.
"Then you had better try somebody else," said Stormont, smiling. "It's possible that all you can tell me isn't worth five dollars." "I'll show you! Gimme a hundred now and 'nother drink." "Take fifty, or I quit," said Stormont, who passed him the bottle. Drummond drained his glass. "You're mean, but I gotter make a start. Where's the bills?"
Of this capital his Prussian majesty, with the bulk of his army, took possession on the eighth day of September, when he was visited by lord Stormont, the English ambassador at that court, accompanied by count Salmour, a Saxon minister, who, in his master's name, proposed a neutrality.
Stormont is not the best way," Agatha rejoined, without regarding Scott's amusement and George's frown. "I'm afraid we must call the meeting," Gardner broke in. "We hoped you would have met us, Miss Strange, because you are bound to lose when we take a formal vote." Agatha felt desperate and glanced at Thirlwell; if he could do nothing else, he could sympathize.
Stormont made two rash statements," he said. "He told us the reserved shares could not be sold, and that he could count upon a majority." "I object to Mr. Thirlwell's speaking," Stormont said with some alarm. "We allowed him to stay at Miss Strange's request, but the manager has no vote." "I imagine Mr. Stormont doesn't know I am a shareholder. Perhaps the secretary will enlighten him."
"Well," said Stormont coolly, "there's an employment agent a few blocks up the street and as trade's pretty good it's possible he can find you a post. That's about the only thing I can think of and I'm occupied just now " Drummond stopped him with a savage gesture and walked out of the room. "We have fixed him; I guess he won't bother us again," Stormont remarked.
I continued thus till the middle of May, when I left Turin, after receiving letters from the Abbe Gama to Lord Stormont, who was to represent England at the approaching Congress. It was with this nobleman that I was to work in concert at the Congress.
Thirlwell did not doubt that Stormont knew he was the leader of Agatha's party and she could do nothing without his help. If Driscoll had been with his former confederate, one could have understood the thing. Black Steve had an Indian's cunning and the instincts of a savage animal, but he was dead and Stormont was a rascal of another kind. Steve's primitive methods would not appeal to him.
