He retreated to a little arboured seat, and a few minutes later would have given anything to escape from it. For he was a witness of the parting of Jack and Ella. He saw the tears streaming from her eyes; he heard Jack tell her that he had never loved another woman and never would. As they clasped each other's hands for the final good-bye, Jack seized her passionately and kissed her.
"Why, jest a a man." "Who is it?" Ella hesitated; then, knowing that deceit was useless, she stammered out the truth. "Why, er only Mr. Herrick." "Not William Herrick, the undertaker!" There was apparently only pleased surprise in the old woman's voice. "Yes," nodded Ella feverishly, "he had business out this way, and and got snowed up," she explained with some haste.
"It is valuable. I will call to-morrow." That afternoon Kimberley accepted an invitation to stay at Shouldershott Castle. He was prodigiously flattered and fluttered. When he thought of being beneath the same roof with Lady Ella, he flushed and trembled as he had never done before. "I shall see her," he muttered wildly to himself. "I shall see her in the 'alls, the 'alls of dazzling light."
This shadow fell upon her heart, but she did not permit its reproduction on her countenance. After tea, Mary was busied for a short time in getting little Ella to sleep. When she returned, at length, to their sitting-room, she had a small package in her hand, which, with a smiling face, she laid upon the table at which her husband sat reading.
Miss Ella Stowbody, the spinster daughter of the Ionic bank, scratched her dry palms and blushed. "Oh, you don't want to hear that old thing again." "Sure we do! You bet!" asserted Sam. "My voice is in terrible shape tonight." "Tut! Come on!" Sam loudly explained to Carol, "Ella is our shark at elocuting. She's had professional training.
"He came to me but only one step one little step, Phyllis; then there came before his eyes a vision of your face he felt your hand cool as a lily upon his wrist he heard your voice speaking into his ear; he turned and fled fled through that window fled from the demon that had taken possession of this room I said so to you." "Thank God oh, Ella, thank God!"
The next morning, as soon as breakfast was over, we all adjourned to the shore once more; and whilst Ella, at my recommendation, took another stroll about the island, Bob and I set to work upon the oysters. They were all dead by this time, of course, and not only so, but in such a condition that it taxed our resolution to the utmost to go through with the task about which we had set ourselves.
"Rude and unrepentant, shocking and not ashamed. This is terrible. But perhaps it's better that you should be rude when you're young and beautiful; later on, when you're no longer young, it will not be permitted in you. I'll question you no further. Only how about Sunday?" "I have promised Ella to go with her party to The Mooring for a week."
'I was only a child, she went on; 'but of course I remember Ella. She was very beautiful and fascinating, and she bewitched us all. She had such lovely eyes, and such a sweet laugh; and she was so full of fun, and so high-spirited and charming altogether. Giles was very different in those days; but he reminds me of his old self this evening. I made no answer.
Ella and her charge went into town in the afternoon, and loitered into the club for tea. Susan, whose color was already burning high, and whose eyes were dancing, fretted inwardly at Ella's leisurely enjoyment of a second and a third sup. It was nearly six o'clock, it was after six!
