On the other hand, Lady Loudwater would go a long way a very long way if any one she loved were threatened. The fact that she had good Italian blood in her veins was very present in his mind. Again, it would be a matter of sudden impulse, not of grave deliberation.
Carrington, as Lord Loudwater's legal adviser, would be able to put him on her track. He came to dinner, still perplexed, to find Mr. Manley waiting to bear him company. They talked for a while about public affairs and the weather. Then Mr. Flexen said: "Was Lord Loudwater the kind of man to confide in his lawyers?" "Not if he could help it," said Mr. Manley with conviction. Mr.
But they might have saved us a lot of time and trouble. They might put us on to the track of another firm of lawyers who did certain business for Lord Loudwater." "Well, no one but Mr. Carrington's firm did any business for him during the last six months," said Mr. Manley, rising. "I feel inclined to take advantage of the moonlight and go for a stroll.
Valery, whence Duke William started with a horseshoe mouth and very glum upon his doubtful adventure to invade these shores but there was no bridge in his time. The shortest bridge is made of a plank, in the village of Loudwater in the county of Bucks, not far from those Chiltern Hundreds which men take in Parliament for the good of their health as a man might take the waters.
And I'm also sure that there'll be precious few mistakes in tactics made in the fight. I think that all you'll get out of the trial will be a strong presumption that Lord Loudwater committed suicide. I'd bet that that is the line Manley will take. And she'll make a thundering good witness for him. She's a good-looking woman, with plenty of intelligence." Mr.
Have you any reason to believe that there was any other woman in Lord Loudwater's life anything in the nature of an intrigue? It's not a pleasant question to have to ask, but it's really important." "Oh, I don't expect any pleasantness where Lord Loudwater is concerned," said Olivia, with a sudden almost petulant impatience, for this inquisition was a much more severe strain on her than Mr.
A man of his utterly uncontrollable temper is the very man to commit suicide," said Colonel Grey firmly. "It is, of course, always possible that he committed suicide," said Mr. Flexen in a non-committal tone. "It's most probable," said Colonel Grey curtly. "What do you think, Lady Loudwater?" said Flexen. "Why, I haven't thought much about it.
It's exactly the dog's trick a bullying ruffian like you would play a woman." "D-D-Dog's trick? Me?" stammered Lord Loudwater, gasping. He was used to saying things of this kind to other people; not to have them said to him. "Yes, you. You know that you're a wretched bully and cad," said Colonel Grey, with just a little more warmth in his tone.
Elizabeth Twitcher looked at Lord Loudwater, saw more clearly than ever his likeness to the loathed James Hutchings, and made up her mind to do nothing that he bade her do. She went on dressing her mistress's hair sullenly. "Are you going? Or am I to throw you out of the room?" cried Lord Loudwater in a blustering voice. "Don't be silly, Egbert!" said Olivia sharply.
Manley sorted the letters, that he might take those addressed to Lady Loudwater to her rooms and those addressed to the servants to the housekeeper's room. As Mr. Manley inverted the bag and poured its contents on to the table, the footman said: "'Utchings 'as gone, sir." "We must bear up," said Mr. Manley, in a tone wholly void of any sympathy with Hutchings in his misfortune.
