And they were going to Arden to that place by the sea where Dickie's uncle, in the other life, had a castle, and where Dickie was to meet his cousins, after his seven months of waiting.
Colonel Vincent now led his daughters to Miss Arden. "Let me introduce the young people to each other," said he; "who I hope will be friends and pleasant companions." Isabella, his youngest daughter, looked up in her face; and taking her hand, said, "I am sure I shall love this lady, if she will love me."
Shouts and heavy, quick tramping from many directions the tempest of murder was drawing people to its center as a cyclone sucks in leaves. Fright in Arden Wilmot's face, revealed to Adelaide in the light streaming from the big drawing-room windows.
Not position; for what position has she as Mrs. Granger? I will take her away from all the people who ever knew her, and guard her jealously from the hazard of shame. There will only be a couple of years in her life which she will have to blot out only a leaf torn out of her history." And the child? the blue-eyed boy that George Fairfax had stopped to kiss in Arden Park that day?
Even as the Ronders' cab paused for a moment before it turned to pass under the dark Arden Gate on to the asphalt of the Precincts, the great Mrs. Mellock herself, round and rubicund, came to the door and looked about her at the weather.
She bathed her face and head in cold water, brushed out her long dark hair, and changed her thick merino travelling-dress for a fresher costume. While she was doing these things, her thoughts went back to her companion of last night's journey; and, with a sudden flush of shame, she remembered his embarrassed look when she had spoken of her father as the owner of Arden Court.
The reckless imagination that distinguishes the Shakespearian comedy and does not shrink before the introduction of a lion and a serpent into the forest of Arden, and the miraculous and instantaneous conversion of the wretch Oliver into a worthy suitor for Celia, needed to be toned down for acceptance by the Parisians. But Madame Sand was less fortunate than M. Castil-Blaze.
Now, in these "adycions to Jeronymo" a painter was introduced complaining of the murder of his son. In the play before them a painter was introduced as an accomplice in the murder of Arden. It was unnecessary to dwell upon so trivial a point of difference as that between the stage employment or the moral character of the one artist and the other.
"Have you heard the news, Conrad?" asked Jimmy. "What is it?" "Andy Grant is in Arden. He arrived from the city this morning." "I am glad to hear it." "Why? Are you and Andy such great friends?" "It isn't on account of friendship; it's on account of business." "What business?" "I can't tell you, but you will very likely hear soon."
"Her health am berry much disproved," and Hannibal retired with a stately bow. Arden quickened his steps, holding the missive in his hand. As soon as he was out of sight, he opened and devoured Edith's words. The light of a great joy dawned in his face, and made it look noble and beautiful, as indeed almost every human face appears when the light of a pure love falls upon it.
