Alas for all The loves that from his hand proud Youth lets fall, Even as the beads of a told rosary!" That very day Richard received a letter from Bishop Elliott. He was going to the Holy Land and wished Richard to join him in Rome, and then accompany him to Palestine. Richard preferred to remain at Hallam, but both Elizabeth and Phyllis thought he ought to respond to the Bishop's desire.
Hallam made a gesture of impatience. "Then you can let him wait," he said. "This deal will pay you better. You can put your own price on it." Alton's eyelids came down a little, and the stranger seemed to find his glance disconcerting. "You don't seem to understand. I promised the other man to bring up his things," he said.
He had come to the party only to bring his wife. He had quickly gone away again, and he had now returned only to escort Mrs. Hallam home. Nevertheless, he asked Barbara for her card and, finding it full, he turned to Duncan, saying: "I see that the next set is yours, Duncan. Won't you give it up to me, if Miss Barbara permits?"
Sheffield at the time of the Norman Conquest was the manor of Hallam, which has passed through various families, until, in the seventeenth century, it became by marriage the property of the Duke of Norfolk. The present duke is lord of the manor of Sheffield, and derives a large income from his vast estates there.
"I expect it is," says I, squintin' at it professional, "but but just what is it supposed lo be?" And I turns inquirin' to F. Hallam. "Why," says he, "it is a study of afternoon light on a group of willows. We are not Futurists, you see; Revertists, rather. Our methods at least mine are frankly after the Barbizon school." "Yeauh!" says I, noddin' wise.
She was leaning back against the wagon-seat, with her face upturned, to watch the leaves flutter in the distant forest-top, when Mr. Surly reined up suddenly, and the wagon stopped with a jerk. "I declare!" said Mr. Guy Hallam. "Waal, this is sum'at of a fix neow," said Mr. Surly, climbing out over the wheel. "What's the matter?" asked Gypsy and Sarah, in one breath, jumping up to see.
But she could not endure her own dishonesty any longer. "Captain Hallam," she said with stiffened lips, "I I have just lied to you. It is not for Miss Lynden that I asked; it is for myself!" He looked at her in a stunned sort of way. She said, forcing herself to meet his eyes: "Trooper Ormond is your escort; don't you understand? I desire to see him again, because I knew him in New York."
I hope you will sell as many as there are bunches of primroses in Covent Garden Market. The extent of Lord Beaconsfield's popularity is really curious. Yet this is the man whom Gladstone hunted to death and called a fiend!! And the Journal for the summer runs: At Foxholes all May. June 26th. Marriage of Hallam Tennyson and Miss Boyle in Henry VII.'s Chapel. July 12th. Dinner at Sir Henry Maine's.
It was as much a part of his equipment for the conduct of his vast and varied enterprises as was his money capital itself. When young Duncan presented himself in the private office after his night's vigil as a watchman, Captain Hallam asked him to sit. That was a recognition of his social status as something better than his employment of the night before might have suggested.
"You are going to meet her, aren't you?" He gracefully concealed a yawn. The woman's plan of attack took another form. "Last night, when you told me your story, I believed you." He devoted himself to suppressing the temptingly obvious retort, and succeeded; but though he left it unspoken, the humor of it twitched the corners of his mouth; and Mrs. Hallam was observant.
