If ever I should see the least little impulse or action which seems to me to come from the Philip I once knew, and not Lord Arranmore, anything which will convince me that some part, however slight, of the old has survived, I will come to you." He sighed. "You alone," he said, "might work such a miracle." "Then come and see me often," she said, with a brilliant smile, "and I will try."
"Good day's sport?" "Very good indeed," Brooks answered. "Lord Arranmore is a wonderful shot." "A remarkable man in a great many ways, Lord Arranmore," Dr. Seventon remarked.
"I saw Mr. Brooks in the morning," she remarked. "He told me that he was going to Enton to dine and sleep." Selina looked at her cousin sharply. "You saw Mr. Brooks?" she repeated. "Where?" "I met him," Mary answered, coolly. "He told me that Lord Arranmore had been very kind to him." "Why didn't you tell us?" Louise asked. "I really didn't think of it," Mary answered.
Most bluffs do come off if one is only daring enough." "You must tell them that up at Redcliffe," Lord Arranmore remarked. Sybil laughed heartily. "Redcliffe is the one place where mother is dumb," she declared. "Up there they look upon her as a stupid but well-meaning person. She is absolutely afraid to open her mouth."
"I am glad you like it," he answered, absently. "I see your uncle cannot find a four-wheeler. You must take my carriage. I am only going a few steps." Mary's eager protest was drowned in Selina's shrill torrent of thanks. Lord Arranmore beckoned to his coachman, and the brougham, with its pair of strong horses, drew up against the pavement. The footman threw open the door.
Lord Arranmore, more than usually immaculate, strolled in, hat in hand, and carefully selecting the most comfortable chair, seated himself on the other side of the open table at which Brooks was working. "How are you, Brooks?" he inquired, tersely. "Busy, of course. An aftermath of work, I suppose." "A few months ago," Brooks answered, "I should have considered myself desperately busy.
She raised her eyes, and he saw the horror there. But he made no sign. She rose and held out her hand for Sybil. "Arranmore," she said, "I am afraid." He looked down upon his plate. "So let it be, then," he said. "It would need a brave woman indeed to join her lot with mine after the things which I have told you. At heart, Catherine, I am almost a dead man. Believe me, you are wise."
By the bye, I have ordered a brougham for you in half-an-hour. As you see, it is raining. Your bicycle shall be sent in to-morrow." "It is very kind of you indeed," Brooks declared. "Molyneux has to go in, so you may just as well drive together," Arranmore remarked. "By the bye, do you shoot?" "A little," Brooks admitted. "You must have a day with us.
"I am sorry," she said. "I like him, and he would be a companion for you." "He's not to be blamed," Lord Arranmore said. "From his point of view I have been the most scandalous parent upon this earth." Lady Caroom sighed. "Do you know," she said, "that he and Sybil were very friendly? "I noticed it," he answered.
Lady Sybil, in fact, made room for him by her side, and he fancied that there was a gleam of reproach in her eyes as she looked up at him. "Is Medchester really so large a place that one can get lost in it?" she asked. "Lord Arranmore has been sending messengers in every direction ever since we decided upon our little excursion.
