It was at this moment that a high dogcart, driven by a groom in the livery of Earl Nosh, might have been seen entering the avenue of Nosham Taws. Beside him sat a young girl, scarce more than a child, in fact not nearly so big as the groom. The apple-pie hat which she wore, surmounted with black willow plumes, concealed from view a face so face-like in its appearance as to be positively facial.
Bid a man whose usual lot it is to break stones for the parish at tenpence the cubic yard bid such an one play at marbles with some stone taws for half an hour per day, and pocket one pound one bid a poor horse who has drawn those stones about, and browsed short grass by the wayside bid him canter a few times round a grassy ring, and then go to his corn in short, bid Rosinante change with Pegasus, and you do no more than Mr.
It was on the following day that Gertrude had driven up the avenue. She descended from the dogcart, passed through a phalanx of liveried servants drawn up seven-deep, to each of whom she gave a sovereign as she passed and entered Nosham Taws. "Welcome," said the Countess, as she aided Gertrude to carry her trunk upstairs.
It was usual in Halifax for those who preferred the private to the public schools to send their boys for a year or two to a dame's school as a sort of easy introduction to school life; and in the very same street as that in which the Lloyds lived there was such a school where two rather gaunt and grim old-maid sisters aided one another in the application of primer and taws.
On hearing this the Earl became livid with fury, in fact this was the day that he struck her with the sausage. Then one day while the Earl was absent on a bat hunt, Gertrude, who was turning over his correspondence, with that sweet feminine instinct of interest that rose superior to ill-treatment, suddenly found the key to the mystery. Lord Nosh was not the rightful owner of the Taws.
