Wyvis Brand." "Separated for incompatibility of temper; that was all," said Mrs. Brand coolly. "I told him I'd got a divorce, but it wasn't true. I wanted to be free from him that's the truth. I didn't mean him to marry again. I heard that he was going to be married is that so! Perhaps he was going to marry you?" "No," Janetta answered, very coldly.
Wyvis Brand insisted, and her husband was summoned to the room. "You needn't go away, Janetta," said Juliet imperatively. "I want you as a witness. Well, Wyvis, here I am, and I hope you are glad to see me." She lifted herself a little from the couch on which she lay, and looked at him defiantly.
They are going to take me away from the Court to-morrow, and I could not go without seeing you and Wyvis first." "Wyvis?" repeated Mrs. Brand, blankly. She had not taken Margaret's hands, but now she extended her right hand in a stiff, lifeless fashion, which looked like anything but a welcome. "I do not know I do not understand " "It is surely easy enough to understand," said Wyvis, vehemently.
We are surrounded on all sides by the debris of the moraines of the ancient glaciers that descended the flank of Ben Wyvis, and I think you would find much to interest you in tracing their relations. We have also the Cromarty Fish-beds within a few miles, and many other objects of geological interest. . .I shall see Lord Enniskillen at York, and will tell him of your success.
"If you like to call it so certainly," said Lady Caroline, with a slight shrug of her shoulders. "This was your revenge? when you found that Margaret had come to me!" "You use strange words, Mr. Wyvis Brand. Revenge is out of date a quite too ridiculous idea.
Of the two, Janetta felt that life at the Red House would be far the more acceptable to herself: she did not mind a little roughness, and she had a great longing to bring mirth and sunshine into the gloomy precincts of her cousin's house. Janetta agreed with Lady Caroline as to the inadvisability of Margaret's attachment to Wyvis far more than Lady Caroline gave her credit for.
She did not know what the upshot might be; but at any rate, she had done her best to put matters in train towards the solving of the problem of Wyvis' married life. She was puzzled during the next few days by some curious, indefinable change in Mrs. Brand's demeanor.
"Do you think that matters to me?" asked Wyvis, sternly. "Perhaps not to you. But it matters to mother, and to me. And it affects our father's character." "Your father's, not mine." "He was the only father you ever knew, and you have no reason to find fault with him." Wyvis groaned impatiently. "One has duties to the living, not to the dead." "One has duties to the dead, too.
"He is sure to do that; you need have no fear," said Janetta, bluntly. An angry gleam shot from the sick woman's eyes. "You defend him through thick and thin, don't you? Wyvis has a knack of getting women to stick up for him. They say the worst men are often the most beloved." Janetta left the room, feeling both sick and sorry, and wondering how much longer she could bear this kind of life.
She looked so fair, so dainty, so delicate he would have been a marvel amongst men who believed that her body was anything but "an index to a most fair mind" that Wyvis said to himself that he had never seen any woman like her. He was fascinated and enthralled.
