Meanwhile, as Faversham rode toward the Tower, absorbed at one moment in a misery of longing, and the next in a heat of self-defence, perhaps the strongest feeling that finally emerged was one of dismay that her abrupt leave-taking had prevented him from telling her of that other matter of which Tatham's visit had informed him.
Not though her mother implored her, and every creature in Cumbria and the universe thought her stark staring mad. No! for her own sake first; but, above all, for Lord Tatham's sake.
And I hoped that any other idea with regard to me would soon pass out of Lord Tatham's mind. I did most sincerely; and I think he believes that I did. How good and dear he always was to me! how much I have learnt from him! And yet I am afraid it was all very blind, and ill-considered perhaps very selfish on my part.
Melrose's taste! and such things!" In the wake of this soft, gesticulating whirlwind, followed Lydia, waiting patiently with her bright and humorous look till her mother should give her the chance of a word. Her gray dress, and white hat, her little white scarf, a trifle old-fashioned, and the pansies at her belt seemed to Tatham's eager eyes the very perfection of dress.
He turned now to walk beside Tatham's horse. His plain face with its beautiful eyes, and lanky straying hair, spoke of a ruminating mind. Tatham asked if there was any news from the railway. "No trace so far, anywhere. All the main line stations have been closely watched. But Marvell is of opinion that if young Brand had anything to do with it he would certainly give the railway a wide berth.
At luncheon she was still absent-minded, and Lady Barbara whispered in Gerald Tatham's ear that Victoria was always a poor hostess, but this time her manners were really impossible. "But you intend to stay a fortnight, don't you?" said Gerald, not without malice. "If I can possibly stay it out." The reply was lofty, but the situation, as Gerald knew, was commonplace.
The tradition of the comic scenes, usually written in prose, was in process of crystallization, and from the Maid's Metamorphosis we can trace it onwards through the present piece, and such slighter compositions as the Converted Robber and Tatham's Love Crowns the End, to Randolph and even later writers.
Who was your correspondent?" "One of the senior officiating priests of St. Margaret's, Wendish Street, the London church where I did duty as junior curate." "Have you kept the letter?" "It is in my desk at my hotel, with some other correspondence of Father Tatham's. You may see it if you wish." "I will see it. In the meanwhile, let me have the pith of it.
Busy as he was and there were few busier men in town, as every hitching-post along the main street of Warehold village from Billy Tatham's, the driver of the country stage, to Captain Holt's, could prove he always had time for a word with the old nurse.
She took the garden chair that Lydia offered her. "Yes; we have all come to know him pretty well." Lydia's face, as she sat on the grass at Lady Tatham's feet, looking toward the fells, was scarcely visible to her companion. Victoria could only admire the beauty of the girl's hair, as the wind played with it, and the grace of her young form.
