"Warkworth?" Delafield withdrew his cigar, and seemed to choose his words a little. "Well, I know what all the world knows." "Hm you seemed very sure just now that he wasn't going to marry Miss Moffatt." "Sure? I'm not sure of anything," said the young man, slowly.
"No child's play, this mission, I can assure you," General McGill had said to her. "Warkworth will want all the powers he has of mind or body." The slim, young fellow, so boyishly elegant in his well-cut evening-dress, received the ovation offered to him with an evident pleasure which tried to hide itself in the usual English ways. He had been very pale when he came in.
Nunn not succeeded in letting Warkworth Manor she would never have uprooted her niece, who, face to face with the prospect of Nevis, realised that she wished for nothing so little as to meet Byam Warner, realised that the end of dreams would be the finish of the best in life.
Warkworth rose from his. "We had better have been handing nails," he said, "but you wouldn't give us any work." Then, as Meredith and Delafield approached, he seized the opportunity of saying, in a low voice: "Am I not to have a word?" She turned with composure, though it seemed to him she was very pale. "Have you just come back from the Isle of Wight?" "This morning." He looked her in the eyes.
Secretly, behind this mask of convention, were they both thinking of him? A girl's thoughts are never far from her lover; and Julie was conscious, this afternoon, of a strange and mysterious preoccupation, whereof Warkworth was the centre. Gradually the great mountains at the head of the lake freed themselves from the last wandering cloud-wreaths.
In "Rambles in Northumberland and on the Scottish Border," 1835, it is thus described. "The hermitage of Warkworth is situated on the north bank of the Coquet, and about a mile from the castle. Leaving the castle yard and passing round the exterior of the keep, a footpath leads down the declivity on the north side of the river.
Had she ever supposed that Warkworth, in regard to money or his career, was influenced by any other than the ordinary worldly motives? She knew very well that he was neither saint nor ascetic. These details or accusations did not, properly speaking, concern her at all. She had divined and accepted his character, in all its average human selfishness and faultiness, long ago.
Papa described to us Warkworth Castle, which stands further south, above the banks of the Coquet river, on a high wood-covered hill. The greater portion of the ruins remain; indeed, the woodwork alone has disappeared, and the masonry is in so good a state of preservation, that the late Duke of Northumberland proposed to restore it, and make it his residence, instead of Alnwick Castle.
"No," said Uredale, raising his eyebrows; "but the 'affaire Warkworth'? If there's any truth in what one hears, that's deuced unpleasant." Bill Chantrey whistled. "It's hard luck on that poor child Aileen that it should be her own cousin interfering with her preserves. By-the-way" he stooped to look at the letters on the hall table "do you see there's a letter for father from Blanche?
Finally he walked back to his club in Piccadilly, where he dawdled over the newspapers till nearly seven. Then he once more betook himself to Heribert Street. "Is Miss Le Breton at home?" Thérèse looked at him with a sudden flickering of her clear eyes. "I think so, sir," she said, with soft hesitation, and she slowly led him across the hall. The drawing-room door opened. Major Warkworth emerged.
