But Honoria's moment of piteousness was past. She had recovered all her habitual lazy and gallant grace when he came up with her. "No no," she said. "Hear me. I began this rather foolish conversation. I laid myself open to well to a snubbing. I got one, anyhow!" "In mercy don't rub it in!" Mr. Quayle murmured contritely. "But I did," Honoria returned.
So on riding into camp, as the finishing touches were being added to our rustic toilets, he accosted Quayle and said: "Well, Theo, they tell me that you won the elephant. Great Scott, boy, that's the best luck that has struck Las Palomas since the big rain a year ago this month! Of course, we all understand that you're to choose the oldest Vaux girl. What's that? You don't know? Well, I do.
In the year 1856, the schooner Dean Richmond, of 379 tons, was built by Quayle & Martin in Cleveland, for C. J. Kershaw, of Chicago. This vessel was loaded with wheat and under the command of Capt. D. C. Pierce, sailed from Chicago to Liverpool.
Of course I had to do some tense inductive reasoning; but I cannot trace every link in the chain for you. It would be tedious." "Not to me." "Some other time." "I say, I wonder whether you've ever read any of these things these Gridley Quayle stories? I know them by heart."
So do tell Lady Calmady we are quite sure to be back immediately after Easter." Reading which sentences Mr. Quayle permitted himself a fine smile on more than one count. "Louisa reminds me of the sweet little poem of 'Bruce and the Spider," he said to himself. "She displays heroic persistence. Her methods are a trifle crude though.
Now it was unquestionably most desirable for her to keep on the fair-weather side of Mr. Quayle just then. Yet the flesh is weak. Lady Louisa Barking could not control a movement of self-justification. She spoke with dignity, severely. "It is all very well for you to say those sort of things, Ludovic " "What sort of things?" he inquired mildly.
And this filled her with anxiety and far-reaching fears, not only because it was bitter to have some woman other than herself hold the chief place in her son's affections, but because she as John Knott, even as Ludovic Quayle, though from quite other causes could not but apprehend possibilities of danger, even of disaster, surrounding all question of love and marriage in the strange and unusual case of Richard Calmady.
Let them wander about the earth as they wandered about this garden, and I shall still be their easy master. Let them take the wings of the morning and abide in the uttermost parts of the sea I am there. Whither shall they go from my presence and whither shall they flee from my spirit? Courage, Dr. Quayle, and do not be downhearted; the real days of tyranny are only beginning on this earth."
Foul play began to be suspected, and meanwhile Father Norquin arrived, fully expecting to solemnize within a few days the marriage of one of the missing men. Aaron Scales was dispatched to the Vaux ranch, and returned the next morning by daybreak with the information that neither Quayle nor Cotton had been seen on the Frio recently.
So these were favourites of the footlights! And Glory Quayle was dressing and undressing them and preparing them for the stage! Next morning, before rising, Glory tried to think it out. Were they so very beautiful? Glory stretched up in bed to look at herself in the glass, and lay down again with a smile. Were they so much cleverer than other people?
