This was the second part of Hester Orval's life as she told it to Just Trafford. And he, looking into her eyes, knew that she had suffered, and that she had sounded her husband's unworthiness. Then he turned from her and went into the room where the dead man lay.
The social world which becomes an obsession to Trafford, his hero, is made to swarm about him through the inevitable net of marriage although it is marriage to a fascinating woman whom he still loves. At first he had sacrificed his scientific ideal to the domestic and material needs. He had abandoned research in order to make Marjorie rich and to surround her with luxury and smugness.
Trafford turned about with an impatient word upon his lips, but it was not spoken. It seemed to him as if his dead brother stood before him, as he had known him when they were boys together, and that those words were meant for a reproach. He put out his hand and touched Noll's shoulder, as if to make sure that it was really his nephew and no vision.
"I dare say it will be very comfortable for you both," she said; "but we thought you might be a little lonely till you got used to it, and therefore asked you to come down for a week or two. The house is full of people, and you will be sure to find some one that you know." Not a word was said at Castle Hautboy as to those terrible things which had occurred in the Trafford family.
And her faithful attendant, drowned in tears, withdrew, followed by the two assistants. Jonathan stepped behind a curtain. "Rowland," said Lady Trafford, regarding him with a look of indescribable anxiety, "you have assured me that I shall behold my son. Where is he?" "Within this room," replied the knight. "Here!" shrieked Lady Trafford. "Here," repeated her brother.
Ford's works at Trafford Park, Manchester, where one of the motors had been sent to be dismantled and inspected in detail. We find the design of ample strength, and the work of first-rate quality. We consider the driving-wheels rather light, and we understand that a new and stronger pattern is to be supplied in future.
One summer, when on a visit to his uncle, Admiral Sir Clavel Lawless, at Trafford Court, where a party of people had been invited for a month, Duke Lawless fell in love with Miss Emily Dorset. She did him the honour to prefer him to any other man at least, he thought so. Her income, however, was limited like his own.
The Marquis was not at all disposed to regard the Earl as in any way bigger than was he himself. He could have paid all the Earl's debts, which the Earl certainly could not do himself, and never have felt it. The social gatherings at Castle Hautboy were much more numerous than any at Trafford, but the guests at Castle Hautboy were often people whom the Marquis would never have entertained.
"Be silent," said Jonathan, in a menacing whisper. "What have you seen?" inquired Lady Trafford. "My enemy," replied her son. "Your enemy!" she returned imperfectly comprehending him. "Sir Rowland is your uncle he will be your guardian he will protect you. Will you not, brother?" "Promise," said a deep voice in Trenchard's ear. "He will kill me," cried Thames.
"Mercy on us! what have I said!" cried the attendant, greatly alarmed by the agitation of her mistress; "do sit down, your ladyship, while I run for the ratifia and rosa solis." "It is past," rejoined Lady Trafford, recovering herself by a powerful effort; "but never allude to the circumstance again. Go and prepare for our departure."
