Saxham wondered at the assured tone, as he told her: "It is true. They had been friends in the world they both gave up afterwards the man for the love that is of earth, the woman for the love of Heaven." "She never told me then, but she must have known who I was from the beginning," Lynette ventured. "She gave me the surname of Mildare because it belonged to me! Do not you think so too?"
"Because I because in inflicting upon her what must necessarily be a a painful humiliation" the Rev. Julius clears his throat, and laboriously rolls the damp handkerchief-ball into a sausage "I wish to convince Miss Mildare that my respect and my esteem for her have not diminished." "And how do you propose to drive this conviction home?" The Reverend Julius flushes to the ear-tips.
"Believing that you speak in perfect sincerity, I thank you, and shall not hesitate to call upon you, should the need arise." Her voice was very calm, and her discreet glance told nothing. He would not have been a man of woman born if he had not been a little piqued. He said, with an air of changing the subject: "Miss Mildare strikes me as a very beautiful girl." "Is she not?"
When not ten months ago you declared to me that you would not be a nun for all the world.... You begged me to befriend you in the matter of Captain Mildare. I undertook, alas! that office...." The Dowager-Duchess blew her nose. "A little more of the orange-flower water, dear aunt?" "'Dear aunt, when you are trampling upon my very heart-strings!
Saxham shoulders his way into the ring of white faces that have gathered about the dark little muddy officer. "What has happened to Miss Mildare ?" The little officer answers, panting: "The Sisters could not make her understand. She " The Chief speaks for him: "She had been previously stunned by the shock of a terrible calamity." "What calamity?" "The Mother-Superior has been killed.
In times of sadness or bereavement He was frequently referred to. But always in a deprecatory tone. "Your family is not Colonial?" he asked. She shook her lovely red-brown head. "I don't know." "Mildare is an unusual surname." "You think it pretty?"
At the taking of Ali Musjid arah! at Futtehabad, with Gough arah! and at Ahmed Khel, where Stewart cut up the Afghans so tremendously, Mildare earned great distinction as well as the Victoria Cross, which I am delighted to see, in glancing through the Army and Navy Gazette, Her Majesty has been pleased to confer upon him.
"The man that had left her to Bough's guardianship was a sort of broken-down English officer by the name of Mildare " Her bosom heaved more stormily, but her intense and scorching regard of him never wavered. " Mildare. He left a hundred pounds with Bough, to be kept for her till she was twenty.
He does not utter the words, nor does his rugged, unconquerable sincerity admit of his taking the hand. He fights with his hatred in silence. And she has not come. What is he saying in that weak voice with the rattling breaths between? "Listen, Saxham.... There's ... something I want you ... say to Miss Mildare."
His great chest lifted on a wave of hope as he answered her: "I cry for somebody who cannot cry for herself. Shall I tell you her name? It is Lynette Mildare. When tears come to her, then it will be for those who love her to cry again for joy, for she will be given back to them...." "Lord grant it!" breathed Sister Tobias behind them. But Saxham had forgotten her.
