But, not for the first time, Silk overdid it. "Besides," said he, seeing he had made an impression, and foolishly thinking to follow it up "besides, young Wyndham's a long way from being out of the wood himself yet. Of course I don't want to do it, but I could make it rather awkward for him if I chose."
"There can be no doubt, I suppose," said Dot, when Frank had consoled himself by anathematising the earl for ten minutes, "as to the fact of Miss Wyndham's inheriting her brother's fortune?" "Faith, I don't know; I never thought about her fortune if you'll believe me. I never even remembered that her brother's death would in any way affect her in the way of money, until after I left Grey Abbey."
A glance sufficed to show that at any rate the worst had not happened, but Wyndham's face was such a mixture of relief and woe that the captain felt some misgivings as he inquired eagerly what was the news. "He was frightfully kind," said Wyndham, "and talked to me like a father. I never felt so ashamed of myself.
The Act of 1906 has simplified procedure by replacing the appeal to the Privy Council by an appeal to the Local Government Board, and that it was needful is seen from the fact that under Wyndham's Act only 25 cottages were built.
Wyndham's duty, and if he fails, Lord Lansdowne's duty, to tell the country plainly whether in that deliberate resolve Lord Wolseley was a partner or an overruled protester. Ministers have a higher duty than that to their party. The Nation has as much confidence in Lord Rosebery as in Lord Salisbury and the difference in principle between the two men is a vanishing quantity.
Balfour, who should have championed him against the wolves of the Party, and might, I verily believe, have saved both him and Ireland, turned away his face and rendered homage to political opportunism. Wyndham's grave and the present condition of Ireland stand as sorrowful reminders of that unworthy act.
He is an enemy of Mr. Harrington's, and they are both friends of Mrs. Wyndham's." "Ah!" ejaculated Ronald, "and who is Harrington?" "Mr. John Harrington is a very clever person who has to do with politics," said Joe, without hesitation, but as she continued she blushed a little. "He is always being talked about because he wants to reform everything. He is a great friend of ours."
She was searching for her hostess's rings and spoke with a somewhat absent air. "Especially as my name is Wyndham," he said. She stopped short in her search and seemed to stiffen. Then slowly she turned towards him. "You are Max's Dr. Wyndham's brother!" "I have that honour," said Noel drily. She stood quite still for a moment; then: "I knew he had a brother in India," she said.
"Yes; but," Wyndham's tone was impressive, "I warn you, she is not altogether herself. And she is very desperately ill." "The child?" questioned Piers. "The child never breathed." Curt and cold came the answer. "I have had to concentrate all my energies upon saving the mother's life, and to be open with you I don't think I have succeeded.
They could not remain where they were, however, another day, without suspicion; so they prepared to move on and seek temporary refuge in some other neighboring town, while they could send one of the attendants who came with them back to Colonel Wyndham's, to see if he could ascertain the cause of the failure. One or two days were spent in inquiries, negotiations, and delays.
