Lady Catharine and Mary Connynge had both arisen and drawn together, and they now turned each a swift half glance upon the other. "Are these gentlemen waiting without the street door?" asked Lady Catharine. "No, your Ladyship. That is to say, before I thought, I allowed the tall one to come within."
"Now a plague take all created things, Lady Kitty!" cried Mary Connynge, petulantly flinging down a silken pattern over which she had pretended to be engaged. "There are devils in the skeins to-day. I'll try no more with't." "Fie! For shame, Mary Connynge," replied Lady Catharine Knollys, reprovingly. "So far from better temperance of speech, didst ever hear of the virtue of perseverance?
"Madam," said he, at length, turning until he faced Mary Connynge, "this is the West. We have chosen, and we have arrived!" The boat, now lacking its propelling power, drifted on and out into the clear tide of the mighty stream. The paddlers were idle, and silence had fallen upon all. The rush of this majestic flood, steady, mysterious, secret-keeping, created a feeling of awe and wonder.
"We have come to arrange for certain matters regarding Mr. Law's defense," said Mary Connynge, as she threw back her cloak and bent upon the turnkey the full glance of her dark eye. "Surely you would not deny us." The turnkey looked at Will Law with a hesitation in his attitude. "Why, this gentleman I know," he began. "Yes; let us in," cried Will Law, with sudden energy.
While Lady Catharine was hoping, and praying, and dreaming and believing, even as the roses left her cheek and the hollows fell beneath her eyes, she saw about her in the daily walks of life Mary Connynge, sleek and rounded as ever. They sat at table together, and neither did the one make sign to the other of her own anxiety, nor did that other give sign of her own treachery.
"As I said, my friend," cried Sir Arthur, "I have won! The throw is passing close for you." Teganisoris again caught Mary Connynge by the shoulder, and dragged her a step or so farther along the line, the two dice being left on the ground as they had fallen. Once more, her hand arose, once more it turned, once more the dice were cast.
I will show you the same spot where he stood and bowed so handsomely, and made so little of the fight with the robbers the night before, as though 'twere trifling enough; and made so little of his poverty, as though he were owner of the king's coin." "But we shall never see him more," said Mary Connynge. "To be sure not. But just to show you see!
"Yes," cried Mary Connynge, bitterly, and again, unconsciously and in sheer anger, falling upon that course which best served her purpose. "And what manner of affianced wife is it would forsake her lover at the first breath of trouble? My God! 'tis then, it seems to me, a woman would most swiftly fly to the man she loved."
The Lady Catharine accepted this last situation as one no longer able to reason. She sank down in the carriage seat, shivering. "Is all well?" asked Will Law, eagerly. "He is safe," said Lady Catharine Knollys. "It is done. It is finished." "What does this mean?" exclaimed Will. "His carriage there it is. It goes to the ship to the Pool. He and Mary Connynge are only just ahead of us.
"Ah, but 'tis different on the Lakes," said Du Mesne, "for there we always knew the way back, and knew that 'twas down stream." "He says well," broke in Mary Connynge. "There is something in this big river that chills me. I am afraid." "And what say you, Tête Gris, and you, Pierre Noir?" asked Law. "Why, myself," replied the former, "I am with the captain. It matters not.
