"He is just leaving for Flanders, and has written to ask Albert and myself to accompany him thither." "And I suppose that you have accepted," Aline said, pettishly. "Yes, indeed; my father thinks that it will be very good for me to see something of foreign countries, and especially Flanders.
He really was very vain; and as jealousy is only vanity in its nastiest development he was extremely jealous. So he persisted. "Will you do this?" he demanded. "If I ever ask you, 'Is that one of the men you cared for? will you tell me?" "If you wish it," said Aline; "but I can't see any health in it. It will only make you uncomfortable.
Dame Agatha passed through the scene of carnage without a shudder, for she had more than once accompanied Sir Ralph abroad, and had witnessed several battles and sieges, but Aline clung to Albert's arm, shuddering and sobbing. Edgar stood at the door until they had passed out. He closed it behind him, locked it on the outside, and threw the key through a loophole on the stair.
"I am not such a child!" exclaimed Aline, rising with a vexed air; "I know what I have seen. They were talking a long time together in the drawing-room last evening, and I am sure they were speaking of me." Madame de Bergenheim burst into laughter, which increased her sister-in-law's vexation, for she was less and less disposed to be treated like a young girl.
"I never heard of him," repeated Griswold. Then, with sudden heat, he added savagely: "But I mean to to-night." When Griswold had first persuaded Aline Proctor to engage herself to him he had suggested that, to avoid embarrassment, she should tell him the names of the other men to whom she had been engaged. "What kind of embarrassment would that avoid?"
When he went down, the messenger was already standing by his horse, while Carter was walking Edgar's up and down. Albert and Aline were at the castle gate as they rode up. "We were in the pleasaunce when we saw you coming, Edgar. We did not expect you until to-morrow." "I have come over with a messenger, who is the bearer of a letter to you." "You mean to my father, I suppose?"
But methinks you will do well to keep him for that time, as he is a good man of business, and you will need such an one until you have mastered all the details, and can take matters entirely in your own hands. "So you see, father, we shall be free to start to-morrow. Sir Ralph, Lady De Courcy, and Mistress Aline will ride with us, and I trust that you will come also.
But I ask of marriage something more; and Uncle Quintin has placed the decision in my hands." "God forgive him!" said madame. And then she hurried on: "Leave this to me now, Aline. Be guided by me oh, be guided by me!" Her tone was beseeching. "I will take counsel with your uncle Charles. But do not definitely decide until this unfortunate affair has blown over.
"Well, there is a chance you shouldn't miss," said Miss Morris, pointing and nodding her head. "There she is now, and all alone. She's sketching, isn't she, or taking notes? What is she doing?" Carlton looked eagerly in the direction Miss Morris had signified, and saw the Princess Aline sitting at some distance from them, with a book on her lap.
"Where is Monsieur de Bergenheim?" "Monsieur le Baron is playing billiards with Mademoiselle Aline." "Send Leonard Rousselet here." And Mademoiselle de Corandeuil settled herself back in her chair with the dignity of a chancellor about to hold court. The servants in the castle of Bergenheim formed a family whose members were far from living in harmony.
