He did not know how to be left again; but the damp chilliness of his hands made her the more anxious to procure assistance, and, after spreading her shawl over him, she made the utmost speed out of the thicket. As she emerged, she saw Lord Ormersfield riding with his groom, and her scream and sign arrested him; but, by the time they met, she could utter nothing but 'Louis!
One day, however, James gave notice that he should not be at their service that afternoon; and as soon as Walter's lessons had been despatched, he set out with rapid steps for Ormersfield Park, clenching his teeth together every now and then with his determinate resolution that he would make Louis know his own mind, and would 'stand no nonsense. 'Ah!
The dark smoky room, damp, ill-paved floor, and cracked walls produced their effect; and the name and voice of the inmate did more. Lord Ormersfield recognised a man who had once worked in the garden, and came forward and spoke, astonished and shocked to find him prematurely old.
Clara rushed out into the garden to tell the stiff old rose-trees that if Lord Ormersfield were savage now, he would be more horrid than ever. Meanwhile, Louis drew a long sigh, murmuring, 'Have I gone and vexed him again? Mary, have I been very silly? The half-piteous doubt and compunction had something childish, which made her smile as she answered: 'You had better have done as you were told.
But, though James was hurt at his unthankfulness, and Lord Ormersfield could have been very angry, the party most concerned did not take it much to heart; he believed he had done his best, but an experienced eye might detect blunders, and he knew it was hard to trust affairs out of one's own hands.
'Fitzjocelyn's motives deserve no such name as folly, James cried, with stammering eagerness. 'I know you did not encourage him, said Lord Ormersfield. 'I did, said a young, clear voice, raised in alarm at her own boldness; 'Jem knew nothing of it, but I thought it right. Lord Ormersfield made a little courteous inclination with his head, which annihilated Clara upon the spot.
'Then you should never have entered on the subject at all, said Lord Ormersfield, beginning to write a letter; and poor Louis, in his praiseworthy effort not to be reserved with him, found he had been confessing that he had not only been again making a fool of himself, but, what was less frequent and less pardonable, of his father likewise.
'I'm not going to throw them over. 'Then I shall hope for you at Midsummer, said the Earl. 'We shall see how things stand, he returned, ungraciously. 'I shall write to you, said Lord Ormersfield, still undaunted, and soon after taking his leave. 'Cool! cried James, as soon as he was gone.
Her mother had cultivated her love for Ormersfield, and she was charmed by her visits to old haunts, well remembering everything. She gladly recognised the little low-browed church, the dumpy tower, and grave-yard rising so high that it seemed to intend to bury the church itself, and permitted many a view, through the lattices, of the seats, and the Fitzjocelyn hatchments and monuments.
It would be a mere farce intended to compensate to us for giving up the school, and I'll not lend myself to it while I can have real work. 'At Midsummer, then. You know he will never let Louis spend a long vacation without a tutor. 'I hate to be at Ormersfield, proceeded James, vehemently, 'to see Fitzjocelyn browbeaten and contradicted every moment, and myself set up for a model.
