An investment which had been valueless for years now began to produce some interest which was a great comfort, for Miss La Sarthe was now seventy-nine and Miss Roberta seventy-six. The orders that the agent received were precise.
At the time I write of, the Sarthe was spanned by three stone bridges, a suspension bridge, and a granite and marble railway viaduct, some 560 feet in length. The German advance was bound to come from the east and the south. On the east is a series of heights, below which flow the waters of the Huisne.
"I shall be more than delighted," he replied, as he bowed with homage and stood aside, because William's face betrayed his anxiety over the fidgety ponies. Miss La Sarthe turned her head with its pork-pie hat and floating veil, and said with superb tranquillity, "You may drive on now, William." And they rolled off between a lane of respectful, curtseying rustics. Mrs.
"If he had any more intelligence God would have put him to work in some busier place." John Derringham did not address her; he devoted himself to Miss La Sarthe. He had absolutely no diffidence.
"Where were they going, do you know? I would like to run across, my old master." "I think to Brittany for July, and then Switzerland; but they intended to get into Italy as soon as it was cool enough. They seemed to be going to have a lovely trip and take a long time about it." "I had no idea Miss La Sarthe had any relations in London," he said. "Who was she staying with there? Did she tell you?"
"Ma'm'selle's wrote to the mistresses to say she won't come back, she can't put up with the place any longer." This sounded too good to be true! Another governess going! Surely they would see it was no use asking any more to come to La Sarthe Chase Halcyone had never had one who could appreciate its beauties.
Miss La Sarthe had been growing more and more annoyed at her great-niece's lengthy absence, while Miss Roberta felt so nervous she would like to have sniffed at her vinaigrette, but, alas! the stern eye of her sister was upon her and she dared not. Mrs. James Anderton good, worthy woman had not passed an agreeable afternoon either.
"A pretty trick he has played me!" she thought. "And his linen! and the money! Well, he will write to me, and then I'll follow him. These poor children think they are so much cleverer than their fathers and mothers." And she went to bed in peace. During the preceding morning the Sarthe had risen to a height foreseen by the fisherman.
So she herself was La Sarthe to her finger tips slender and pale and distinguished-looking. She remembered the last scene with her stepfather before her coming to La Sarthe Chase. It was the culmination after a year of misery and unassuaged grieving for her loss.
Thus it was that four demure and healthful-looking beings joined the party on the terrace of Wendover, and described their pleasant walk, without one word spoken of their rencontre with the youngest Miss La Sarthe. And once or twice Cora Lutworth's mischievous eyes met those of John Derringham, and they both laughed.
