After luncheon we took a car and drove out to Burtonport, on the Roads of Arranmore, to visit the parish priest there, Father Walker, and Mr. Hammond, the agent of the Conyngham estates. We passed near a large inland lake, Lough Meela, and the seaward views along the coast were very fine.
"And when I tell you that I had lost all my stores, and that his was the only dwelling-place for fifty miles around, you can imagine that his hospitality was more welcome to me then even than to-day." Brooks, who was standing near, could not repress a start. He fancied that Lord Arranmore glanced in his direction. Lady Caroom shuddered. "The only dwelling-house for fifty miles," she repeated.
Arranmore was smoking a cigarette, and Brooks took one from his case. The carriage was ordered in a quarter of an hour. Brooks found that he and Sybil were a little apart from the others. "Do you know, I am sorry too," she declared.
I came over alone." "Certainly." They were interrupted a few minutes later by Sybil and Atherstone, and a small host of their friends. But in consequence of Lord Arranmore's visit to Homburg, Brooks a few days later received two letters. The first was from Lord Arranmore. "RITTER's HOTEL.
He would have done the particular measures which we are anxious about more harm than good if he had tried to force them upon the land. But now it is different. We are writing to him. If nothing comes of it, Mr. Bullsom and I are going up to see him." Arranmore smiled.
Lord Arranmore sat a little forward in his high-backed chair, one hand grasping the arm, the other stretched flat upon the table before him. By his side, neglected, was a cedar-wood box of his favourite cigarettes. "I am going," he said, thoughtfully, "to tell you a story, of whom the hero is myself.
"You brought the happiness with you," Lord Arranmore said, "and you take it away with you. Enton will be a very dull place when you are gone. "Your own stay here is nearly up, is it not?" Lady Caroom asked. "Very nearly. I expect to go to Paris next week at latest the week after, in time at any rate for Bernhardt's new play. So I suppose we shall soon all be scattered over the face of the earth."
I er I wanted to ask you a question. "Well?" "About that fellow Brooks I met at your place down at Enton. Lawyer at Medchester, isn't he? I thought that he and Sybil seemed a bit thick somehow. Don't suppose there could have been anything in it, eh? He's no one in particular, I suppose. Lady Caroom wouldn't be likely to listen to anything between Sybil and him?" Arranmore raised his eyebrows.
The Government food now is good, but the wine, especially the champagne, is positively unholy." "One should eat then with the Government, and drink with the Opposition," Lord Arranmore remarked. "Or, better still," Mr. Hennibul said, "do both with the Speaker. By the bye, did you know that they are going to make me a judge?" "I heard that your friends wanted to get rid of you!" Arranmore answered.
"I should think that that ought to stay the flow of subscriptions." Lord Arranmore, who was standing on the hearthrug smoking a cigarette, joined languidly in the conversation. You think that Brooks ought to take some notice of Lavilette's impudence, then?" "Well, I'm afraid his not doing so looks rather fishy," the first speaker remarked.
