"I am not Miss Wylder's maid!" she replied. "Neither is it my place to wait on my fellow-servants." She turned away, tossing her head, and rounded the corner into the corridor. Richard looked down the passage. A light was burning at the other end of it, and he saw there were not many doors in it. With a sudden resolve to go straight ahead, he called out clear and plain
'I take that for granted: in the nature of things it can hardly be otherwise, I replied, a good deal startled and perplexed by the curious audacity of her interrogatory. 'It was very foolish of me to expect from Mr. Wylder's friend any other answer; you are very loyal, Mr. De Cresseron.
About three weeks after the appearance of the advertisement in 'Galignani, one of Mark Wylder's letters reached Larkin. 'DEAR LARKIN, I saw my friend Smith here in the cafe, who has kept a bright look out, I dare say; and tells me that Captain Stanley Lake is thinking of standing either for the county or for Dollington.
'He chose an unlucky moment for his departure. I meant to speak to him and end all between us; and I would now write, but there is no address to his letters. I think Lady Chelford and her son begin to think there is more in this oddly-timed journey of Mr. Wylder's than first appeared. When I came into the parlour this morning I knew they were speaking of it.
Smithers, said he, encouragingly, his long feet on the fender, for the evening was sharp, and Mrs. S. knew that he liked a bit of fire at his tea 'any letters any calls any news stirring? 'No letters, nor calls, Sir, please, except the butcher's book. I s'pose, Sir, you were viewing the body? 'What body? 'Mr. Wylder's, please, Sir. 'The vicar! exclaimed Mr.
You are not likely, Rachel, to see them again. From the blue flash of the brilliants Rachel in honest amazement raised her eyes to her cousin's face. The same pale smile was there; the look was oracular and painful. Had she overheard a part of that unworthy talk of Wylder's at the dinner-table, the day before, and mistaken Rachel's share in the dialogue? And Dorcas said
The other witness was Sir Julius Hockley, of Hockley, an unexceptionable evidence, though a good deal on the turf. Now our friend Jos. Larkin had something of the Red Indian's faculty for tracking his game, by hardly perceptible signs and tokens, through the wilderness; and this mystery of Mark Wylder's flight and seclusion was the present object of his keen and patient pursuit.
'Quite so, repeated Lake, softly, taking the thin, neatly folded piece of paper which Larkin, with a sad inclination of his body, handed to him. Lake, under the 'lawyer's' small, vigilant eyes, quietly read Mark Wylder's awful threatenings through, twice over, and Larkin was not quite sure whether there was any change of countenance to speak of as he did so.
'You seem to be very sensible, Mr. De Cresseron; pray tell me, frankly, what do you think of all this? 'I am not quite sure, Miss Brandon, that I understand your question, I replied, enquiringly. 'I mean of the the family arrangements, in which, as Mr. Wylder's friend, you seem to take an interest? she said.
It was not very amusing this interchange of thought and feeling between Larkin and the dowager, upon a theme already so well ventilated as Mark Wylder's absconding, and therefore I let it pass. After dinner, when the dowager's place knew her no more, Lord Chelford resumed his talk with Larkin. 'I am quite confirmed in the view I took at first, he said. 'Wylder has no claim upon me.
