She was thinking of what Tremayne had told her of the attitude of the Portuguese Government, and her clear-sighted mind perceived an obvious peril in permitting Count Samoval to become aware of Dick's whereabouts should they ever be discovered. "What nonsense, Sylvia! You conceive the oddest and most foolish notions sometimes. But of course you have no experience of the world."
He had carried the hamper on to the sands, and was busy setting out his cups and saucers in a sheltered place behind some rocks, 'to be out of the wind, as he carefully explained. When his kettle boiled he filled the tea-pot, and summoned his guests. "You've chosen a snug spot!" said Mrs. Tremayne, walking along with her eyes on the sands still looking for shells.
Natas sends greeting to the Brotherhood in America. The work has been well done, and the reward of patient labour is at hand. This is to name Alan Tremayne, Chief of the Central Executive, first President of the Anglo-Saxon Federation throughout the world, and to invest him with the supreme authority for the ordering of its affairs.
They had received some time back two or three which were especially favoured, sent by Mrs and Miss Tremayne, with a kind message inquiring after Michael and Dame Lanreath, and hoping that the "Dove" had answered Michael's expectations and proved a good and useful sea-boat. Nelly undertook to write a reply. "That she has, tell them," said Michael.
The three looked gravely at one another in silence. "Have you a copy of the note, sir?" inquired the aide-de-camp. "Not a copy but a summary of its contents, the figures it contained, are pencilled there on the margin," Tremayne answered. "Allow me, sir," said Stanhope, and taking up a quill from the adjutant's table he rapidly copied the figures.
Captain Tremayne went through the group with all a sapper's skill at piercing obstacles, and so came face to face with the lady of his quest. Seeing her so radiant now, with sparkling eyes and ready laugh, it was difficult to conceive her haunted by any such anxieties as Miss Armytage had mentioned.
Instinctively she felt that under this troubled surface some evil thing was stirring, that the issues perhaps were not quite as simple as she had deemed them. There was a pause. O'Moy, with his back to the window now, his hands still clasped behind him, looked mockingly at Tremayne and waited. "Why don't you answer her?" he said at last. "You were confidential enough when I came in.
"You're hideous," cried Kat, fiercely. "I wonder if you have the ghost of an idea how horrible you are, Ralph Tremayne?" "No, indeed, I never found any one impolite enough to tell me; but you will, I'm sure." "Don't judge my politeness by your own!" "I can't for you have none," he rejoined coolly.
The man who can receive with patience a reproach, implicit or explicit, of being wanting in consideration towards his wife is comparatively rare, and never a man of O'Moy's temperament and circumstances. Tremayne's reminder stung him sharply, and the more sharply because of the strong friendship that existed between Tremayne and Lady O'Moy.
The whole ceremony had not taken more than fifteen minutes from beginning to end. After Arnold came Tremayne with his good wishes, and then Anna Ornovski and the rest of the friends and comrades of the newly-wedded lovers. One usually conspicuous feature in similar ceremonies was entirely wanting. There were no wedding presents. For this there was a very sufficient reason.
