It would suit him very well to take a money compensation, and let her continue to reign, with glories somewhat shorn, however, at Strathleckie. I am afraid he will do nothing but enrich San Stefano with his inheritance. He certainly will not settle down at Netherglen as a country squire. "What will my mother say? Pooh! I must get out of that habit of calling her my mother.
A dog-cart was sent for him and his luggage on the day of his arrival. He had a five miles' drive before he reached Strathleckie, where he received a tumultuous welcome from the boys, a smiling one from Mrs. Heron and Kitty, a hearty shake of the hands from Mr. Heron. But where was Elizabeth? He did not dare to ask.
Will you excuse me if I say good-bye to you now, and walk back towards Strathleckie?" "Must it be now?" she said, scarcely knowing what the words implied. She turned her face towards him with a look that he never forgot a look of inexpressible regret, of yearning sweetness, of something only too like the love that he thought he had failed to win.
She noticed that the message was dated from Muirside Station, and that she must, therefore, wait until Kitty sent the promised letter before she wrote to Kitty, as she did not know where Mr. Heron might be staying. But as the days passed on and nothing more was heard, she addressed a letter of inquiry to Kitty at Strathleckie.
Heron were still reposing. But her steps lagged, and her face did not recover its usual colour as she went home, for, as she had said, she was tired strangely and unnaturally tired and it was with a feeling of relief that she locked herself into her own room at Strathleckie, and gave way to the gathering tears which she had hitherto striven to restrain.
Luttrell you must not say such things besides look, it's Mr. Vivian; it really is! I haven't seen him for two years." And she actually ran away from him, coming face to face with her old friend, at the Strathleckie gates. Hugo followed sullenly. He did not like to be repulsed in that way. And he had reasons for wishing to gain Kitty's consent to a speedy marriage.
"I was called Dino Vasari at San Stefano," he continued, "but I believe that my rightful name is Brian Luttrell, and that Vincenza Vasari changed the children during an illness of Mrs. Luttrell's." "And that, therefore," said Percival, slowly, "you are the owner of the Strathleckie property or, as it is generally called, the Luttrell property now possessed by Miss Murray?" Dino bowed his head.
Her words showed either ignorance or languid neglect of the usages of society, but they did not offend him. He wanted to come again. He wanted to see more of Kitty. He had ridden from Strathleckie to Netherglen, and he paced his horse slowly along the solitary road which he had to traverse on his way homewards.
