I don't think he had realised before how love was the one thing that the child's life hung upon, and that the boy himself must have that love and trust. She supposed some arrangement would soon be made, and Fulk said he should see the lawyers at once about it, and arrange for the personal guardianship of Lord Trevorsham.
Of course he knew himself to be Lord Trevorsham, and owner of the property; but one day, when Fulk found him galloping his pony in the field laid up for hay, and ordered him out, he retorted that "You ain't my proper brother, and you haven't any rights over me! It is my field; and I shall do as I like."
At any rate it left her shuddering with dread and remorse, yet half triumphant at the notion of putting an end to Fulk's power over the estate, and of installing her son as heir of Trevorsham. She had no fears for him, she trusted to his lame foot to detain him, and said to herself that if it was to be, he would be spared the sight.
Yes, Trevor Lea and John Maitland did for our Trevorsham what all our love and care had never been able to do. Meantime Hester's illness took its course.
No, I did not know it; I'll keep Trevorsham away," I said, wondering she had come all this way; and then asking in a fright, "Surely he has not been there?" "No; I met him on the road with Lady Hester Perrault, and I told them. I walked back to Spinney Lawn with them. But," as I began to thank her, and her voice went lower still, "but oh, Ursula, Lady Hester knew it!" "Knew it!"
"Lord Trevorsham!" cried a voice in great displeasure, and I saw that Mr. Halsted, the nearest magistrate, was standing over us. "He told me Trevor did" said Alured. "Told you to assist the murderer to escape!" exclaimed Mr. Halsted. Alured let his head fall back, and would not answer, and Fulk said, "There is no need for him to speak at present, is there?
Then Trevor told him, under his breath, he was sure it was not a safe horse. But my high-spirited boy laughed this to scorn. "And perhaps he'll play you some trick," added Trevor. But Trevorsham was still undaunted in his self-will, till Trevor resolutely announced his determination, if nothing else would stop it, of going at once to Fulk, and informing him.
If ever there was a modern version of St. Dorothy's roses it was there. That boy's kiss and his gift touched the place in her heart. She caught him passionately in her arms, and held him till he almost lost breath, and then she held him off from her as vehemently. "Boy Trevorsham what do you come to me for?" "He told me," said Alured, half dismayed. "Besides, you are my sister." "Sister, indeed!
So Fulk thought it wiser to send him to school, since he was learning nothing properly at home, and only getting more disobedient and unruly. Immediately Trevor Lea was sent to the same school, to the boys' great delight. They cared little that Trevor was placed nearly at the top and Trevorsham at the bottom of the little preparatory school.
Partly, he was too gentlemanly and good a boy not to be ashamed of the men who hung about the stables; and besides, we now perceive that the same awful impression that was on Emily Deerhurst was upon him, and that he had a sense that Trevorsham was regarded in a manner that made his presence there a peril.
