Something else upon the hand, in the sharpened state of all her senses, struck out a spark of old association, and recalled a name once known. She went on. "How many men are you, Mr. Van Busch or Bough? You provoke the question when I see you wearing the Mildare crest and coat-of-arms."
Richard Mildare had praised the sunshade, a Paris affair supplied by Worth with his creation, Lady Biddy Bawne's beautiful gown. He asked Lady Biddy to marry him at the back of the box on the Grand Stand when Verneuil was winning the Cup. Who shall dare say that he was not then a sincere lover? thought the Mother-Superior of the Convent of the Holy Way.
But that a man with a record of that kind should set his heart upon a girl like Lynette Mildare is horrible, intolerable, Wrynche; and while, for the man's own sake, I should respect his beastly secret, for her sake and in her interests, and if I consider that he's putting himself forward at the risk of my my prospects and my hopes, I shall make use of what I know."
Lady Hannah answered: "The Mother-Superior of the Convent of the Holy Way at Gueldersdorp has an orphan ward, a singularly lovely girl of nineteen or twenty, whose surname is Mildare. And it struck me just now I don't know why now, and never before that she might be " "Bough never said nothing to me about any girl. What like is this one?"
The man who had married Miss Mildare could hardly be expected to join with heartiness in deploring the untimely decease of his predecessor. "Not that it could have come to anything between poor Toby and her if the dear old chap had lived," reflected Bingo, and wondered if the Doctor knew about about Lessie?
The School was out walking, a trio of nuns in charge, and some Dutch loafers mobbed them threatened to lay hands on the Sisters and Miss Mildare stood up in defence head up, eyes blazing, a slim, tawny-haired young lioness ready to spring. And Beauvayse was with me, and ever since then has been dead-set upon making her acquaintance." Saxham's blood warmed to the picture.
But seven hours later the Mother-Superior was shot; and the nuns and Miss Mildare, on their way to the Convent, were passed by a thickset, bearded man, who ran into one of the Sisters in his hurry, and nearly knocked her down." "That," said Saxham, "has always been regarded as a suspicious circumstance. But the man was never subsequently traced." "No!
"You have been so good, so kind," she said, in rather formal phrase, but with her sweet eyes shining through tears and her sensitive lips trembling. "You have shown yourself to be so noble in your unselfish care for others, in your unsparing efforts for the good and benefit of everyone " "Put that by," said Saxham rather roughly, "and please to look at me, Miss Mildare."
To exchange Lynette Mildare for Eliza Smith ... that would be horrible. Don't you think so?" Saxham smiled. "I think you are joking, and that a young lady who can do so under the present circumstances deserves to be commended." She looked at him full. "I am not joking."
Because it was imperative that I should say this to you: Your engagement to Miss Mildare and your approaching marriage to her were announced in to-day's Siege Gazette. You have received many congratulations. Now take mine liar, and coward, and cheat!" And with each epithet, delivered with all the force of Saxham's muscular arm, shall fall a stinging blow of the heavy old hunting-crop.
