Warwick's, name won't come up, but another woman's will. 'I meet Wroxeter at a gambling-house he frequents, and publicly call him cheat slap his face, if need be. 'Sure to! repeated Redworth. Now, such a thing as a duel would give pain enough. 'Of course; I understand, Sir Lukin nodded his clear comprehension. 'But what is it you advise, to trounce the scoundrel, and silence him?
Without asking herself whether it could be possible that Tony knew the secret, or whether she would have laid it bare, her sympathy for Redworth revolted at the exposure. She was chilled. She let it pass; she merely said: 'I like the writing. Diana understood that her story was condemned. She put on her robes of philosophy to cloak discouragement. 'I am glad the writing pleases you.
Sir Lukin, after some further remarks, rode on, and Redworth mused on a moral world that allows a woman of Mrs. Fryar-Gunnett's like to hang on to it, and to cast a stone at Diana; forgetful, in his championship, that Diana was not disallowed a similar licence. When he saw Emma Dunstane, some days later, she was in her carriage driving, as she said, to Lawyerland, for an interview with old Mr.
'I think the chief advantage men have over us is in their amusements. 'Their recreations. 'That is the better word. Diana fanned her cheeks and said she was warm. 'I mean, the permanent advantage. For you see that age does not affect them. 'Tom Redworth is not a patriarch, my dear. 'Well, he is what would be called mature.
'Leave it to me for a day. Let me have your word that you won't take a step: positively neither you nor Colonel Hartswood. I'll see you by appointment at your Club. Redworth looked up over the chimneys. 'We 're going to have a storm and a gale, I can tell you. 'Gale and storm! cried Sir Lukin; 'what has that got to do with it? 'Think of something else for, a time.
Percy Dacier, just to show these arrant coquettes, or worse, that they were not quite so privileged to pursue their intrigues obscurely as they imagined, it would have soothed her exasperation. She left a woman the prey of panic. Diana thought of Emma and Redworth, and of their foolish interposition to save her character and keep her bound. She might now have been free!
In the above, the kingdom composed of her shattered romance of life and her present aspirings, she was free and safe. Nothing touched her there nothing that Redworth did. She could not have admitted there her ideal of a hero. It was the sublimation of a virgin's conception of life, better fortified against the enemy.
'There's the mischief! Redworth blew again. 'I had no right to be championing Mrs. Warwick's name. Or the world won't give it, at all events. I'm a blundering donkey. Yes, she wishes to keep her liberty. And, upon my soul, I'm in love with everything she wishes! I've got the habit. 'Habit be hanged! cried Sir Lukin. 'You're in love with the woman. I know a little more of you now, Mr. Tom.
Attracted by her good looks and sparkle, they entered the circle of her charm, became delightfully intimate, suffered a rebuff, and were from that time prepared to serve her purpose. How many other wretched dupes had she dangling? He spied at Westlake, spied at Redworth, at old Lord Larrian, at Lord Dannisburgh, at Arthur Rhodes, dozens.
And then she thought of Tony's piteous instance; and thinking with her heart, the tears insisted on that bitter irony of the heavens, which bestowed the long-withheld and coveted boon when it was empty of value or was but as a handful of spices to a shroud. Perceiving the moisture in her look, Redworth understood that it was foolish to talk rationally.
