The outside of the building and the gardens were patrolled at night by two detectives; and according to Daunt's own emphatic assurance to Winnington, the house was never left without either the Keeper himself or his niece in it, to mount guard. They had set up a dog, with a bark which was alone worth a policeman.
Delia's uncomfortable sense of humor found vent in a laugh as civil however as she could make it. "I do understand. But I don't quite see what you can do, Mr. Winnington!" He smiled quite pleasantly. "Nor do I just yet. But of course Miss Marvell will not expect that your father's estate should provide her with the salary that would naturally fall to a chaperon whom your guardian could approve?"
"Perhaps I read you better than you do yourself," said Gertrude, slightly reddening too. "Of course you have been goodness generosity itself. But this cause wants more than gifts more than money-it wants a woman's self!" "Well?" Delia waited. Gertrude moved impatiently. "Why should we play the hypocrite with each other!" she said at last. "You won't deny that what Mr. Winnington thinks what Mr.
Should Miss Blanchflower sign the undertaking and afterwards break it, the Public Trustee was directed to proceed against her, and to claim the restitution of the property, subject always to her life allowance. "Pretty well tied up," thought Winnington, marvelling at the strength of feeling, the final exasperation of a dying man, which the will betrayed.
But then, by ill-luck, the powerfully-built fair-haired man, who had been speaking when Winnington and Andrews entered the market place, rushed to the front of the waggon, and in a white heat of fury, began to denounce both the assailants of the speakers, and the crowd in general, as "cowardly louts" on whom argument was thrown away who could only be reached "through their backs, or their pockets" with other compliments of the same sort, under which the temper of the "moderates" rapidly gave way.
"How did she discover them?" asked Delia, without any sort of cordiality. "We the County Council put the enquiry into her hands. I showed her a bit. But she's done it admirably. She's a wonderful little person, Susy. What the old parents will do without her when she goes to London I can't think." "Why is she going?" Winnington shrugged his shoulders kindly.
We can always give it up, if we cannot work it, but I see no reason why, with good will on both sides, we should not make something of it. "I am returning to London ten days from now, and hope to see you within a fortnight. "Please address, 'Junior Carlton Club, Pall Mall." Believe me, Yours very truly, "MARK WINNINGTON." On his arrival, in London, Winnington found a short reply awaiting him.
Winnington descended them, and then turned to look for Delia who was just behind "Please take care! But he was too late. Head in air absorbed in her own passionate mood, Delia never saw the steps, till her foot slipped on the topmost. She would have fallen headlong, had not Winnington caught her. His arms received her, held her, released her. The colour rushed into his face as into hers.
Euphrosyne sat down beside the court, with tears in her pretty eyes, her white feet crossed, her dark head drooping; and two girl companions, aged about sixteen or seventeen, like herself, came up to comfort her. "I could soon shew you how to improve your service, Mademoiselle," said Winnington, smiling, as he passed her.
A couple of deal tables and two chairs were all the furniture the room contained, in addition to the cupboards, painted in stone-colour, which covered the walls. Delia closed the door, and threw off her furs. Then, with a gesture of complete abandonment, she went up to Winnington, holding out her hands "Oh, Mark, Mark, I want you to help me!" He took her hands, but without pressing them.
