Thus animosity to Lord Castleton conspired with Vivian's passion for Fanny to rouse all that was worst by nature and by rearing in this audacious and turbulent spirit. His confidant Peacock suggested, from his stage experience, the outlines of a plot, to which Vivian's astuter intellect instantly gave tangibility and coloring.
Well, to terminate a description none too agreeable, Peters' wild delirium continued until, out in the door-yard, forty or fifty feet from the house, he fell, exhausted. Then we carried him back to his bed. Doctor Castleton gave some directions to the old woman, and soon we left for town, Peters being asleep.
After the cowboys had gone down it was not a cheerful group left there in the darkening twilight. Castleton prevailed upon them to eat. "This is simply great," whispered Helen. "Oh, it's awful!" moaned Dorothy. "It's your fault, Helen. You prayed for something to happen." "I believe it's a horrid trick those cowboys are playing," said Mrs. Beck.
After a little general conversation, I seemed naturally to return to the Peters story; and now, in a five-minute talk, I so closed it to the point reached by Bainbridge as to satisfy Arthur, and not weary the restless doctor. As I ended, Castleton said: "I didn't get in to see you yesterday.
Why, sir, this is one of those to whom my mother bade me look to get my first ways of London well laid out." "These are some of the ways of London," said Pembroke, grimly. "But is there no fashion in which this matter can be accommodated?" Pembroke and Castleton looked at each other, rose and passed him, each raising his hat and bowing courteously.
Yesterday I struck the Women's Debating League; they won't vote for Higgins because they have been credibly informed by the Castleton people, of course that he's bad, and " "You and I should have been nominated, St. James," interrupted Pellams, crossing his hands on his breast and looking at the gas fixture.
I assented to his suggestions, thanking him for the clear description which he had given of that strange region, and for the pains he had taken to draft of it so accurate a map which map he allowed me to retain. I was about to ask a question, when the door opened, and Doctor Castleton rushed into the room. "Well, how's the old man?" he asked.
She posed all too briefly for me," he said. On the back of the envelope was a remarkably good likeness of Hetty Castleton, done broadly, sketchily with a crayon point, evidently drawn with haste while the impression was fresh, but long after she had passed out of range of his vision. "I know her," said Sara quietly. "It's very clever, Mr. Booth."
I obeyed, and the new Lord Castleton made room for me by his side. "Are you in a hurry?" said he. "If so, shall I take you anywhere? If not, give me half an hour of your time while I drive to the city."
At last, to our great relief, the servant announced Lord Castleton's carriage; and with another speech of overpowering affability to me, and a cold shake of the hand to Sir Sedley, Lord Castleton went his way. The breakfast-parlor looked on the street, and I turned mechanically to the window as Sir Sedley followed his guest out of the room.
