I am a poor man and a busy one, this task your father laid upon my shoulders is too heavy for me. I shall resign my guardianship; Gwendoline Lady Baring will accept the position. She likes you, and you will find it hard to break her heart." "Do you mean," says the girl, "that I have broken yours? Yours? Have I been so bad as that? Yours?
And not only so, but as nobody knows it except myself, you'll as good as proclaim to all the world that you heard it from ME. If I tell you what I know, will you promise me this not to breathe a syllable of what I say to anybody?" Gwendoline, glancing down, and thoroughly ashamed of herself, yet answered in a very low and trembling voice, "I'll promise, Mr. Nevitt."
Edith desisted; she appealed no more; passive to all changes, she let herself drift along. The third of October was to be the wedding-day; my ladies Gwendoline and Laura Drexel, the two chief bridesmaids then three others, all daughters of old friends of Lady Helena.
I'll give you a tonic that'll set your nerves all right at once. You'll come back from Spa as fresh as a daisy." To Spa, accordingly, Sir Gilbert went; and from Spa came trembling letters now and again between Gwendoline and Elma. Gwendoline was very anxious papa should get well soon, she said, for she wanted to be home before the Cape steamer arrived. "You know why, Elma."
Edith looks once in her heart she hates Lady Gwendoline looks once, and looks no more. And as the serene June morning dawns, and larks and thrushes pipe in the trees, Lady Helena's dear five hundred friends, sleepy and pallid, get into their carriages and go home. The middle of the day is past before one by one they straggle down. Breakfast awaits each newcomer, hot and tempting.
If Sir Victor were in love with herself, was not his fitting place by her side in this trying hour, instead of meandering about with Dithy? And what business had Dithy monopolizing another girl's lover? "I think I shall ride ever to Drexel Court between this and dinner," Sir Victor said. "I promised Hampton " Lady Helena laughed and interrupted: "And Lady Gwendoline is there I understand.
"It's too late to-night," she said at last, after a long deep pause, and in a voice like a woman condemned to death, "too late to do anything; but to-morrow your father must go up to town and try to see him. At all costs we must buy him off. He knows everything that's clear. He'll ruin us. He'll ruin us!" "It's no use papa going up to town, though," Gwendoline answered half dreamily.
Stuart inform her are all American girls handsome?" And Charley as Captain Hammond has done bows, and looks, and replies: "I used to think so, Lady Gwendoline. I have seen English girls since, and think differently." Oh, the imbecile falsehoods of society!
Mention it to Gwendoline to any one you like, but not to me." He strides towards the doorway. He has almost turned the corner. "Thaddeus" cries a small, but frantic voice. If dying he would hear that and turn. She is holding out her hands to him, the tears are running down her lovely cheeks.
Nevitt," she said, in a chilling voice, "you've no right to call me Gwendoline any longer now. You've no right to speak to me of Mr. Granville Kelmscott. I refused your advances, not for any one else's sake, or any one else's estate, but simply and solely because I came to know you better than I knew you at first; and the more I knew of you the less I liked you.
