"It was," Lord Arranmore remarked, "a very foolish thing to do." "Who or what you were before you came to Montreal I do not know," she continued, "but there you brought misery and ruin upon every one connected with you. I was a child in those days, but I remember how you were hated.
"You speak of this arrangement," Brooks said, slowly, "as though it were a corroboration of the settlement upon the eldest son. This scarcely seems possible. There can be no such provision legally." "I scarcely see," Lord Arranmore said, wearily, "what that has to do with it, The ten thousand pounds a year is, of course, not a legal charge upon the estates.
And we are trying to earnestly see where our social system is at fault, and to readjust it. But meanwhile, men and women and children even are starving. We must help them." "That is where you are wholly wrong, and where you retard all progress," Arranmore remarked. "Can't you see that you are continually plugging up dangerous leaks with putty instead of lead?
He has gone direct to his room." Lord Arranmore nodded. He threw himself into his easy-chair, and his head sank upon his hand. He looked steadfastly into the heart of the red coals. "I am so sorry," she said, softly, "our last evening is spoilt." He shook his head with an effort at gaiety. "Let us conspire," he said. "You and I at least will make a struggle."
On the last flight of stone steps he came face to face with Lord Arranmore, who nodded and pointed upwards with his walking-stick. "How much of this sort of thing?" he asked, dryly. "Ten storeys," Brooks answered, and passed out into the street. Lord Arranmore looked after him watched him until he was out of sight. Then he stood irresolute for several moments, tapping his boots.
If it was there until I was eighty I should never touch it." "I understand that perfectly," Lord Arranmore said. "You have refused it. Very well! What are we going to do with it?" "Put it back where it came from, of course," she answered. "Well," he said, "by signing several papers that might be managed.
Don't go in specially for politics, or society, or sport. Mix them all up. Be cosmopolitan and commonplace." "Upon my word, Hennibul, you are a genius," Arranmore declared, "and yonder goes my good fairy." He sprang up and disappeared into the further room. "Lady Caroom," he exclaimed, bending over her shoulder. "I never suspected it of you."
"If you can keep up like that we shall be getting positively sentimental presently, and if there's anything I adore in this world especially before luncheon it is sentiment. Do you remember we used to waltz together, Arranmore?" "You gave me a glove one night," he said. "I have it still." "And you pressed my hand and it was in the Setons' conservatory how bold you were."
"Well, I'd no idea that sort of thing was in your line," one of the men exclaimed. "More it is," Arranmore answered. "Personally, I don't believe in charity in any modern application of it at any rate. But this man Brooks is a decent sort." "You know who Brooks is, then?" "Certainly. He was my agent for a short time in Medchester." Mr.
"We are neighbours, you know, Mr. Bullsom," he said, "at Medchester. I met your niece there, and recognized her at once, though she was a little slip of a girl when I knew her last. Her father and I were in Montreal together." "God bless my soul," Mr. Bullsom exclaimed, in much excitement. "It's your lawyers, then, who have been advertising for Mary?" Lord Arranmore bowed.
