Beauvayse bade the ladies good-morning, and swung himself into the saddle. "Au revoir, Miss Mildare. Please get under cover at once." The proprietorship in the tone stung Saxham to wincing. "Good-morning, ma'am," he cried to the Mother-Superior, "we know you ignore bullets. So long, Doctor. Hope I shan't count one in your day's casualty-bag. Ready, boys?"
She was the niece of a High Commissioner, daughter of a Secretary of Imperial Government, at Cape Town, who wrote K.C.M.G. after his name. "Silber speaks the truth. Not a girl here is a patch on the shoes of Lynette Mildare.
She said: "I I think he is head of the carting-gang. A Kaffir boy they call Jim Gubo." "That will do, thank you, Miss Mildare. You are not alone here?" Her glad smile assured him of that. "Oh no, I am with the Mother. I go everywhere with her, and I think I am of use. I am not at all afraid of sickness, you know, or the other things." "But yet," Saxham said, "you must be careful of your health."
What other woman would jabber French through a telephone?" "A Frenchwoman would, possibly." "Don't catch what you're saying. Look here, what made you shove such a whacking bouncer into the Siege Gazette?" "Please put that into English." She underwent a quaking at the heart. "I say, that announcement about Toby and the Mildare filly is all my eye." "It isn't all your eye.
But as time went on the story of the English traveller who had brought the body of the woman to the Free State Hotel, so many days' trek to the southwards from Gueldersdorp, trickled from lip to lip. And years later, years too late, it came to the ears of a friend of dead Richard Mildare. The sergeant maintained silence. He was a careful officer, and a discreet man, and, what is more, religious.
My invariable reply to Beauvayse you know my junior A.D.C., who daily clamours for an introduction to Miss Mildare is, that I have not yet had one myself, though at the outset of affairs I encountered the young lady under rather trying circumstances, in which she showed plenty of pluck. I thought I had told you. No? Well, it was one morning on the Recreation Ground.
Please go on before us with Miss Mildare. No!... Oh, what ...? You haven't ...?" It was then that Lady Hannah dropped the white umbrella and clapped her hands for joy.
But il n'a pas un radis, unless the Bishop comes round, and don't you think that little Greek head of hers is aware that a great deal of money goes with the Foltlebarre title, and that the family diamonds would suit it to a marvel?" Saxham said gratingly, and with a hostile look: "Do you infer that Miss Mildare is vain and mercenary?" "Good mercy, my dear man!" she screamed; "don't pounce.
Has your mother's son no sense of honour, sir?" The icy tone of contempt stung him to risk the leap. He drew himself to his splendid height, and answered, his brave young eyes boldly meeting the stern eyes that questioned him: "Ma'am, I am sorry that you should think me capable of dishonourable conduct. The fact is, that I have just asked Miss Mildare to be my wife. And she consents."
"You were married to Miss Lavigne at the Registrar's office, Cookham-on-Thames, last June, before you sailed. The witnesses were your valet and a female servant at Roselawn Cottage. And knowing that you were not free, you deceived and cheated her. That is what I am to tell Miss Mildare? Signal if I am right." The dying eyes are brimming with tears.
