He came quite suddenly, and went off again with Lady Tristram." "And Mina Zabriska, my dear." Mina complicated the case. Those who were inclined to believe, against all common-sense, that Cecily had eloped with her cousin Why, in heaven's name, elope, when you have all the power and a negligible parent? stumbled over Mina. Well then, was it with Mina Harry had eloped?
But neither he nor she thought of her death as the main thing; it no more than ushered in the great event for which they had spent years preparing. And he was downright glad that she could see no visitors; that fact saved him added anxieties, and spared her the need of being told about Mina Zabriska and warned to bear herself warily toward the daughter of Madame de Kries.
The young man she would have guessed him at twenty-two or three had a complete composure of manner; somehow she felt herself in the presence of the lord of the soil an absurd thing to feel, she told herself. "Madame Zabriska? My mother, Lady Tristram, has sent me to bid you welcome in her name, but not to disturb you by coming in so soon after your journey.
"Madame Zabriska met Addie Tristram years ago at Heidelberg, Robert; and she's been staying down at Blent at Merrion Lodge, didn't you say, my dear?" Mr Disney had sat down. "Well, what's the young fellow like?" he asked. "Oh, I I don't know," murmured the Imp in forlorn shyness. This man was was actually the the Prime Minister!
"Does Lady Tristram know about about me?" she stammered. "I sometimes lie to my mother," said Harry, flicking his ash into the river. "Why do you lie to your uncle, though?" "I didn't lie. You know I didn't lie." He shrugged his shoulders wearily and relapsed into silence. Silence there was till, a minute or two later, it was broken by a little sob from Mina Zabriska.
"Are you going to be all day with those things, Mason?" "I hope I haven't been slower than usual, ma'am," said Mason very stiffly. At last he went. In an instant Mina darted across to Neeld, and caught him by the arm. "What have you to tell me?" she cried. "To tell you? I? Oh, dear, no, Madame Zabriska! I assure you " "Oh, there's no need for that!
"And in the meantime a little sparring is amusing enough. I don't confess to a hit at present; do you, Madame Zabriska?" Mina did not confess, but she felt the hit all the same; if she were to fight him, she must bring her reserves into action. "By the way, I'm so sorry you couldn't see my mother when you called the other day. She's not at all well, unhappily. She really wants to see you."
"In fact, not before the day after to-morrow, I'm afraid, Madame Zabriska." "The day after ?" "What I have always hated is Government interference. Why can't I be married when I like? Why have I to get a license and all that nonsense? Why must I wait till the day after to-morrow?" He grew indignant. "It's past twelve now; it is to-morrow," said Cecily. "Quite so.
She became almost sure that she could love Harry; she remained uncertain whether he should return the compliment. And, after all, to be Lady Tristram of Blent! That was attractive. The Imp looked down on Blent with an access of interest. Monsieur Zabriska had left her with unexhausted reserves of feeling. Moreover she could not be expected to help her uncle if she were seriously attached to Harry.
Duplay greeted the house-agent with grave courtesy, and entered into conversation with him, while Madame Zabriska, relapsed again into an alert silence, watched the pair.
