Hargrave followed me into the anteroom, and before I could open its outer door, gently laid his hand upon the lock. ‘May I tell you something, Mrs. Huntingdon?’ said he, in a subdued tone, with serious, downcast eyes. ‘If it be anything worth hearing,’ replied I, struggling to be composed, for I trembled in every limb. He quietly pushed a chair towards me.
"Betrayed is a strong word," he said. "A strong word, senator," answered Dr. Hargrave, "and used deliberately. I wish you good day, sir." Hargrave was one of those few men who are respected without any reservation, and whose respect is, therefore, not given up without a sense of heavy loss.
"They are the fellows to send on any dangerous or difficult undertaking, and we may feel very sure that they will not show the white feather." "Young Hargrave is a desperate ruffian, notwithstanding, and I wouldn't trust him," muttered Lord Reginald. "He has shown his ruffianism by acting very gallantly on two occasions, I understand," observed the captain.
‘I guess the best return I can make will be to take myself off,’ muttered Hattersley, with a broad grin. His companion smiled, and he left the room. This put me on my guard. Mr. Hargrave turned seriously to me, and earnestly began,— ‘Dear Mrs. Huntingdon, how I have longed for, yet dreaded, this hour!
Nep took them also as his share, and afterwards went on scratching away, apparently hoping to find more. Lord Reginald was too weak to help him. "That fellow Hargrave has been here, and carried off all the sound eggs, leaving only these few for the sake of tantalising me," he exclaimed in a bitter tone.
At the same time I resolved not to give myself up to misery for the transgressions of another, and endeavoured to divert myself as much as I could; and besides the companionship of my child, and my dear, faithful Rachel, who evidently guessed my sorrows and felt for them, though she was too discreet to allude to them, I had my books and pencil, my domestic affairs, and the welfare and comfort of Arthur’s poor tenants and labourers to attend to: and I sometimes sought and obtained amusement in the company of my young friend Esther Hargrave: occasionally I rode over to see her, and once or twice I had her to spend the day with me at the Manor.
She gave the signal to stop, and asked the children to get out. "There is something I want to get here," she said, and led the way into a big jeweler's shop. The two girls stopped to look at the rings in the case near the door, but Mrs. Hargrave called them. "I need a notebook and pencil and I thought you would like to help me select it. I am a rather fussy and very forgetful old lady."
He followed his mother's advice, as far as he was able, and especially in the last particular; but he was fast asleep as soon almost as his head touched the pillow. Dick Hargrave kept to his resolution of trying to avoid meeting with Lord Reginald.
Hargrave said was, "We will be back in a minute, Rosanna," and shooed everybody out into the hall, even the stern superintendent. "Now then," said Mrs. Hargrave with one peek back to see that the nurse that had stayed was doing her full duty, "now the thing is, how are we going to get her home?" "Oh, she can't go home," said the superintendent in a shocked voice.
"'Oh, sir sir, cried the lady, 'help me, for I am in a villain's hands! Trick'd vilely trick'd! "'Do you, said I to my servants, 'cut the traces if you cannot otherwise stop this chariot! Leave Sir Hargrave to me! "The lady continued screaming, and crying out for help. Sir Hargrave drew his sword, and then called upon his servants to fire at all that opposed his progress.
