Captain Tremayne turned the corner, and was out of my sight, seeing that I didn't go beyond the guardroom doorway." Sir Terence's lips parted with a snap of impatience. "But you must have heard," he insisted. "You must have heard his steps whether they went upstairs or straight on." "I am afraid I didn't take notice, sir."
Mullins, rather less venerable than usual, as a consequence of agitation and affliction on behalf of Captain Tremayne, to whom he was attached, stated nervously the facts within his knowledge. He was occupied with the silver in his pantry, having remained up in case Sir Terence, who was working late in his study, should require anything before going to bed. Sir Terence called him, and
It was a calm and lovely day, and contrasted greatly with the weather which had before prevailed. In the harbour, just below the cottage, lay a boat somewhat smaller than the "Wild Duck," but nearly new, with freshly-tanned sails, and well fitted in every respect. Mrs and Miss Tremayne were seated in it, with two men who had rowed it round from the Lizard.
Never had she been more desirable in his eyes; and hopeless as his love for her had always seemed, never had it been in such danger of hopelessness as at this present moment, unless he proceeded here with the utmost care. And so Ned Tremayne became subtle for the first time in his honest, straightforward, soldierly life. "No," he answered boldly, "I do not intend it."
"I understand that men are very stupid," was her way of admitting it. "And you see that you were wrong in judging Terence as you did?" "I I suppose so." She didn't understand it all. But since Tremayne was so insistent she supposed there must be something in his point of view.
George's Channel a few scouting cruisers, flying French, Russian, and Italian colours, had been run down and sunk by the dynamite cruisers. Strict orders had been given by Tremayne to destroy everything flying a hostile flag, and not to permit any news to be taken to England of the approach of the flotilla.
Four paces from the table they were halted, the Tsar in the centre, facing his unknown judge, and his servants on either side of him. He recognised Natasha, Anna Ornovski, Arnold, and Tremayne, but the recognition only added to his bewilderment.
"Stop, Ralph, in misery!" and, for the first time, she sat upright on her couch. "The crisis of a whole life is at hand I must go through it, if I die on the spot ring again for Miss Tremayne." The gentle and quiet lady was soon at Mrs Causand's side.
But Sylvia Armytage, knowing what she knew from Captain Tremayne, was not content to leave the matter there. She reverted to it presently as she was going indoors alone with her cousin. "Una," she said gently, "I should not place too much faith in Count Samoval and his promises." "What do you mean?" Lady O'Moy was never very tolerant of advice, especially from an inexperienced young girl.
"I think that has settled her, as far as any more real fighting is concerned. Look! She can't stand that sort of thing very long." He handed Tremayne the glasses as he spoke. The French cruiser was lying motionless upon the water, with her after compartments full, and very much down by the stern.
