"Are your people at Strathleckie now, Percival?" "No, they are in London." "Why don't you go down? You have not seen her since her marriage?" "Hum. I haven't time." "Then I will go." "And I with you," said Angela, quickly. But Rupert shook his head. "No, dear, not you. We will write for Brian and Elizabeth.
In that case, the Murrays would soon hear of the claimant to their estate, and there would be a law-suit. Brian began to feel interested in the matter again. He had lost all care for it in the period following upon his illness. He now foresaw, with something almost like pleasure, that he could easily obtain information about the Murrays if he went with the Herons to Strathleckie.
If you wish to undo all that you have succeeded in doing, if you wish to deprive the lady who has inherited the Strathleckie property of her inheritance, then, indeed, you will go to Scotland, but in so doing you show a want of judgment and resolution which I cannot understand.

When the matter was decided, and Mr. Colquhoun had written to them that Strathleckie was vacant, and would be a convenient house for Miss Murray's purposes in all respects then, and not till then, was Mr.
