And it was only when hope was dead when life seemed worthless that you married me." "She told you that all that?" asks Rylton; he has caught her hand. "All that and more." Tita is smiling now, but very pitifully. "But that was enough. Why take it to heart? It is nothing, really. It does not concern us. Of course, I always knew. You told me that you did not love me."
"And I must say," with a little flaming glance at him, "that it would have been in much better taste if you if you had pretended to see that I was not crying." Hescott does not hear, or takes no notice of this little bombshell. "Has your husband been unkind to you?" asks he sharply, most unpardonably. Tita looks at him for a second as if he had struck her, and then waves him aside imperiously.
As it was, he spread his wings and flopped down, and Tita took him into the cabin and tied him to the third leg of the table. There he made himself very disagreeable to the little white hen, and gobbled angrily at the red rooster, and even pecked at Tita herself when she came near. "There!" sighed Doña Teresa, when the turkey was safely tied; "at last we have them all together.
A very rage of anger swells up within his heart, and with it a first doubt a first suspicion of the honour of her on whom he had set his soul! Perhaps the ground was ready for the sowing. "Saw her? Yes, indeed," says Minnie, still with the air of childish candour. "It was because I saw her that I was so frightened about Tita. Do you know, Sir Maurice," most ingenuously this "I don't think Mrs.
"Yes; that is true," says Captain Marryatt. "I hate hunting and I like hiding," says Tita. "Colonel Neilson, you and Margaret can be our pursuers this time. Come, Tom! come, all of you!" Mrs. Bethune for a moment frowns, and then a quick light comes back to her eyes. Even better so if Maurice should arrive.
You have given me a free hand, so I can tell you what is in my mind. That woman she means " "What?" asks Tita, turning upon her with some haughtiness. "Business!" says Minnie Hescott, with an emphatic nod. "Mischief all through. She's up to mischief of some sort. I tell you what," says Minnie, with her old young look, "you've got to keep your eye on her."
What I do not know is, what fault you have to find with me." "Then learn it at once." His tone is stern. "I object to your playing hide-and-seek with your cousin." "With my cousin! One would think," says Tita, getting up from her chair and staring at him as if astonished, "that Tom and I had been playing it by ourselves!"
"I will go and tell her, certainly; but as for apologising to Krumm, that is absurd!" "As you please," says Tita. By-and-by Franziska or rather Miss Fahler came out of the small garden and round by the front of the house. "O Miss Fahler," says Charlie, suddenly, and with that she stops and blushes slightly, "I've got something to say to you. I am going to make a confession.
"Come out here on the balcony and enjoy the moonlight for awhile." She had been standing out there in the shadow, and had heard and seen what had occurred between Tita and her husband, and later on with Tom Hescott. Rylton follows her. The soft chill of the air outside attracts him. It seems to check all at once the bitter anger that is raging in his heart.
But Minnie Hescott, who has gone down the steps into the garden, has seen something too that fair, fierce face leaning over the balcony! The eyes are following Tita and her brother, Tom Hescott. "You have said," says Rylton, when the steps have ceased, "that you would warn me about my wife. Of what?" She shrugs her shoulders.
