Julius Delamayn was out paying visits, and was not expected to return for another hour at least. Julius groaned in spirit. The finest music which Mozart has written for the violin associates that instrument with the piano. Without the wife to help him, the husband was mute. After an instant's consideration, Julius hit on an idea which promised, in some degree, to remedy the disaster of Mrs.
Geoffrey Delamayn a young single man. And here, on the other, is Mrs. Glenarm a young widow. Rank on the side of the young single man; riches on the side of the young widow. And both mysteriously absent at the same time, from the same pleasant party. Ha, Mrs. Delamayn! should I guess wrong, if I guessed that you will have a marriage in the family, too, before long?" Mrs.
Leave out 'young, and the rest is the exact contrary of Mr. Delamayn. So far, Mrs. Inchbare guides us plainly enough. But how are we to apply her description to the right person? There must be, at the lowest computation, five hundred thousand men in England who are young, middle-sized, dark, nice-tempered, and pleasant spoken. One of the footmen here answers that description in every particular."
He stared at his trainer in vacant terror, and spoke to his trainer in wild words. "What are your horrid eyes looking at over my shoulder?" he cried out. "Go to the devil and take your infernal slate with you!" Perry spoke to him once more. "You've been dreaming of somebody, Mr. Delamayn. What's to do about a slate?" Geoffrey looked eagerly round the room, and heaved a heavy breath of relief.
He decided to wait and see what came first of his investigation at the inn. "Mr. Delamayn consulted me on a dry point of law, in which a friend of his was interested," said Sir Patrick. "You have wasted your curiosity, my dear, on a subject totally unworthy of a lady's notice." Blanche's penetration was not to be deceived on such easy terms as these.
"It would occupy a long time," answered Sir Patrick, "to tell you how and it is not at all necessary to our purpose that you should know. My present obligation merely binds me to tell you in strict confidence, mind! that Miss Silvester's secrets are no secrets to Mr. Delamayn. I leave to your discretion the use you may make of that information.
What his actual connection is with them, and how he came into possession of his information, I have not found out. My discovery begins and ends with the simple fact that he has the information." "May I ask one question, Sir Patrick?" "What is it?" "How did you find out about Geoffrey Delamayn?"
Vanborough looked back into the far corner of the room, in which the lawyer sat, impenetrably waiting for events. "Oblige me by coming here for a moment," he said. Mr. Delamayn rose and complied with the request. Mr. Vanborough addressed himself to Lady Jane. "I beg to refer you to my man of business. He is not interested in deceiving you." "Am I required simply to speak to the fact?" asked Mr.
He made her say he was her husband, at the same time. Was that done jocosely, Mr. Delamayn either by the lady or the gentleman?" "No. It was done in downright earnest." "You mean it was done to look like earnest, and so to deceive the landlady and the waiter?" "Yes." Sir Patrick returned to the memorandum.
Isn't that a good reason for his being a friend of mine?" "It depends entirely on the value you set on your life," said Sir Patrick. "The value I set on my life?" repeated Arnold. "I set a high value on it, of course!" "In that case, Mr. Delamayn has laid you under an obligation." "Which I can never repay!"
