At that instant the carriage, which was then rolling toward Hyde Park Corner, came to an abrupt standstill, and, on looking out, Lord Garrow observed that the coachman had halted in obedience to a signal from a gentleman who was galloping, at a hard pace, after their brougham. "It must be Reckage," said the Earl; "I never knew a man so fond of riding who rode so ill."
Mr. Orange is going to give a lecture on Church History, and Lord Reckage has promised to be chairman. They will hold the meeting at St. James's Hall, and I am sure it will be most interesting. More I cannot tell you, because they have gone no further in their plans." But misfortune had entered the room, and that wayfarer once admitted asserts her ill-will without let or hindrance.
Here, standing by the window with his back to the door, looking at the clouds, greyer than a gull's wing, which fled like driven souls across the sky, stood Orange. He turned as the latch moved, and Reckage, coming in, perceived the pale face, resolute, a little proud, and thoroughly inscrutable of his former secretary.
A suspicion that already he loved perhaps too well and far too passionately thrilled through his conscience, and tortured a heart to whom thought was a refuge and feeling a martyrdom. Reckage, watching Robert from a corner of the room, grew irritated at the silence, and wondered, with a cruel and jealous curiosity, what was passing in his mind. He wondered whether he was praying.
Your BRIGIT." Reckage's voice broke in again. "I do wish you would try this rum omelette. It is capital." Orange laughed, but left the room. Rennes remarked that he had a powerful face. "Yes. He has a strong character. And he would never deceive another. But he deceives himself hourly daily." "In what way?" asked Rennes. "He doesn't know," said Reckage, "what a devilish fine chap he is!
Now, I don't care what I do. I follow every impulse. I must follow them. I had to come here this evening. I had to tell you about Reckage. The landlord was odious. I met two men on the staircase. One actually tried to peer into my face. I have never submitted to such indignities. Heaven knows what they are thinking now. I shall remember their vile laugh as long as I live.
Reckage started from his reverie. "How odd!" he exclaimed, surprised into candour. "I was thinking of her at that very moment." Pensée had read as much on his face, but she did not tell him so. "I feel for her very much," she observed instead. "She must be the greatest possible comfort to her father, although he may not realise it. Yet he is forcing on the engagement to Marshire.
"He expects everything except docility," said Penborough; "if the Opposition employ that means, they will embarrass all his calculations." Reckage, meanwhile, was confiding to Sara "I turned the horse round, rammed my spurs in, and put him at the rails again!" One statement, made by Penborough, caused a flutter.
She professes nothing. I judge her by her actions." "But you must see," said Reckage, "that I can't give Orange all this pain unless I have something more definite to go on. Sir Piers tells us that he played cards with Wrexham Parflete last week." He paused. "Wait a moment," said Harding; "wait a moment. Does any one present know Parflete's handwriting?" "I do," said Pensée.
The parcel and the missive arrived when the young lady was reading and re-reading two other letters which she had received that morning from the North of France. One was from Lord Reckage; the other was from Pensée Fitz Rewes. Their respective contents ran as follows: In doubt, they tell us, we must stand on the rule of authority.
