"I trust you have quite recovered from the effects of the anaesthetic." "Thank you, sir. But my recovery'll date from the hour the Captain gets back." Doran liked to refer to his master by the military rank he had borne during the war. "To be sure," said Mr. Torrington. "That will be a welcome event to all of us."
"It'll be all right," said Priscilla. "They'll never get here. But of course Barnabas may want to make his will in case of accidents. Just you help the young gentleman ashore, Kinsella. He can't get along very well by himself on account of the way Lord Torrington treated him. Then you'd better haul the boat up a bit.
So does Torrington, it appears. Only he pushes them the other way. I think he goes too far, quite too far. Of course, my sister does too, in the opposite direction." Sir Lucius sighed. "It's all right, Uncle Lucius," said Frank. "I don't mind a bit. I'm not well enough up in these things to answer Miss Lentaigne. If father was here " "What's that? Is your father coming here?"
"Your own daughter," she said, "seems to have imbibed some of our more modern ideas. That must be a trial to you, Lady Torrington." Frank got up and made his way out of the room without speaking. To reach the corner of the shrubbery it was necessary to cross the lawn. Lord Torrington and Sir Lucius, having lit fresh cigars, were pacing up and down in earnest conversation.
After considerable powder had been shot away without the loss of a ship on either side, the French went back to protect their transports in the bay; Herbert also withdrew, and was made Earl of Torrington for his "victory." It is true that Tourville's force was stronger, but Torrington acted with no enterprise and was thoroughly beaten.
"When anything great enough is discovered there is bound to be competition. I found the stuff but I haven't the capital to exploit it. I took my samples to a ring of financiers who are backing me." "Mr. Torrington? Mr. Cassis?" "Cranbourne Frayne that crowd. By sheer bad luck another ring got news of what was going on and are moving heaven and earth to get a share in the plunder."
Far as I can see there must be hundreds out to prevent me." His mouth hardened. "But I'm going to do it. I mean to do it somehow." Mr. Torrington smiled sweetly. "Ardent young man," he said. Cassis put his finger tips together and remarked: "Recklessness is a luxury we can't afford." "I'm prepared to take chances," said Barraclough. Mr.
Priscilla, leaving Frank to make his own way back to the house as best he could, crept through the laurel bushes to the edge of the lawn. Lord Torrington and Sir Lucius had gone indoors. She could see them through the open window of the long gallery. She stole carefully across the lawn and entered the house by way of the dining-room window. She went very quietly to her bedroom.
"It'll be rather exciting," she said, "to see these Torrington people. I don't think I've ever come across a regular, full-blown Marquis before. Lord Thormanby is a peer of course, but he doesn't soar to those giddy heights. I suppose he'll sit on us frightfully if we dare to speak. Not that I mean to try.
