And you were going back to it all, straight by the night-mail to Bombay, straight from the station on board your ship. Oh, how it hurt to hear you speak of it, with a casual pleasant word about exile and next-door neighbours!" She clasped her hands together in front of her, her fingers worked and twisted. "No, I couldn't endure it," she whispered.
"But I will," he said in a low voice; and then he went to the other end of the room, for Mrs. Kavanagh was calling him to help her in finding something she had lost. Before he left that evening Mrs. Lorraine said to him, "We go by the night-mail to Paris to-morrow night, and we shall dine here at five. Would you have the courage to come up and join us in that melancholy ceremony?"
Maisie looked more than usually kissable as she stepped from the night-mail on to the windy pier, in a gray waterproof and a little gray cloth travelling-cap. The red-haired girl was not so lovely. Her green eyes were hollow and her lips were dry. Dick saw the trunks aboard, and went to Maisie's side in the darkness under the bridge.
We have sat at the same feast, I say: we have paid our contribution to the same charity. Ah! when I ask this day for my daily bread, I pray not to be led into temptation, and to be delivered from evil. I arrived by the night-mail packet from Dover. The passage had been rough, and the usual consequences had ensued.
I was young enough to have an emotion about meeting a man of his renown, and innocent enough to believe the occasion would demand the display of an acquaintance with his "last." Corvick, who had promised a review of it, had not even had time to read it; he had gone to pieces in consequence of news requiring as on precipitate reflection he judged that he should catch the night-mail to Paris.
"Of course, you could catch the night-mail at Cullerne Road," he said. "It is a very long drive, but I sometimes go that way to London myself."
"Did any gentleman, a clergyman, arrive here by the night-mail train?" "No, sir, not one," whispered the waiter, putting his mouth nearly close to the warden's ear. Mr Harding was reassured. "Waiter," said he again, and the waiter again creaked up. "If anyone calls for me, I am going to dine out, and shall return about eleven o'clock."
It could not in any case go until the night-mail. He had finished it and directed it by six o'clock in the evening and he went down with the letter in his hand into the big lounge to post it in the box there. But it never was posted.
Some unfortunate chance had prevented my going to the club for several days, or I might have got it in time to save him. Perhaps it was not too late. I drove off to my rooms, packed up my things, and started by the night-mail from Charing Cross. The journey was intolerable. I thought I would never arrive. As soon as I did I drove to the Hotel l'Angleterre.
Having desired her maid to pack a few things, she hastily realised all the money she had at command and started by the night-mail for Paris. Paris! Like the husband she had wronged and deserted, she had not visited the gay city for years.
