The lock of the cupboard was picked, and the ingenious mechanic and painter, assisted by the schoolmaster's sketch, which Lord Uplandtowers had put in his pocket, set to work upon the god-like countenance of the statue under my lord's direction. What the fire had maimed in the original the chisel maimed in the copy.
Lord Uplandtowers, though not yet thirty, had chuckled like a caustic fogey of threescore when he heard of Barbara's terror and flight at her husband's return, and of the latter's prompt departure. He felt pretty sure, however, that Willowes, despite his hurt feelings, would have reappeared to claim his bright-eyed property if he had been alive at the end of the twelve months.
O Edmond, I am always yours! Such words as these, intermingled with sobs, and streaming tears, and dishevelled hair, testified to an intensity of feeling in his wife which Lord Uplandtowers had not dreamed of her possessing. 'Ha, ha! says he to himself. 'This is where we evaporate this is where my hopes of a successor in the title dissolve ha, ha! This must be seen to, verily!
She clutched him, uttered a low scream, and buried her head in the bedclothes. 'Oh, take it away please take it away! she implored. 'All in good time namely, when you love me best, he returned calmly. 'You don't quite yet eh? 'I don't know I think O Uplandtowers, have mercy I cannot bear it O, in pity, take it away! 'Nonsense; one gets accustomed to anything. Take another gaze.
Contrary to expectation, the Earl of Uplandtowers did not marry again. Such affection as existed in him strange, hard, brutal as it was seemed untransferable, and the title, as is known, passed at his death to his nephew.
'You here and alone, my dear Mrs. Willowes? said Lord Uplandtowers, whose carriage it was. She explained what had brought her into this lonely situation; and, as he was going in the direction of her own home, she accepted his offer of a seat beside him.
By degrees the episode with Edmond Willowes seemed but a fevered dream, and as the months grew to years Lord Uplandtowers' friendship with the people at Chene which had somewhat cooled after Barbara's elopement revived considerably, and he again became a frequent visitor there.
