The last I saw of Julia Templeton, that hard-favoured woman, she was standing, an angular figure, in the midst of the wreck of the luncheon dishes, one arm wrapped in her apron, the other hand shading her eyes while she watched the company, in wagons and automobiles, trailing away to the westward, and the towns....
Then a sudden light broke in upon Malcolm. "It must have been my mother!" he exclaimed, and then he stopped a little awkwardly, for of course he remembered now; but she finished his sentence quite calmly. "Yes, he was there Mr. Templeton, I mean; he was talking to a girl with fair hair, and with such a nice face not pretty, but sweet and good; and they were laughing together.
Something in Malcolm's tone in the expression of his dark eyes confirmed this impression, and in spite of her stateliness and thirty years the second Miss Templeton felt a little shy. "We have not seen the garden-room yet," she said hastily, and then she led the way downstairs.
From several of the statements he had made, Miss Templeton deduced that Kelson was greatly under the influence of Lilian Rosenberg and it was from these statements that she finally received an inspiration. Miss Templeton saw deeper than Shiel it had always been her custom to read between the lines.
When Dinah Templeton was about three-or four-and-twenty she was engaged to Douglas Fraser, a doctor just beginning practice in Earlsfield." "Mr. Templeton was living at that time, and approved of the engagement. Dr. Eraser was devoted to his profession. He was a rising man, and people predicted that before many years were over he would make his mark."
Gyp Campion told me as a fact do you know Gyp? he is in the Hussars, and a tiptop swell in the bargain well, Gyp let out that his brother Owen had proposed to Miss Elizabeth Templeton years ago at Alassio." "Oh, I daresay," indifferently. "I think I must go back to the house now;" it cost Malcolm an effort to be civil. "I will walk back with you. What was I saying?
He seems so much in, and yet so much out of his place; is both so rusé, and so unpractised; so unfit for what he is, and so ready at every thing, that I scarcely know how to apply terms in any matter with which he has the smallest connection. I fear he has persecuted you since your arrival in Templeton?"
To Simmy it was nothing short of brigandage, a sort of moral outlawry. Old Templeton Thorpe deserved a coat of tar and feathers, and there was no word for the punishment that ought to be meted out to Mrs. Tresslyn. He tried to think of what ought to be done to her, and, getting as far as boiling oil, gave up in despair, for even that was too much like compassion. Money!
I wish to fill a position in the world that may redeem my past indolence, and do credit to my family. Sir, I set your example before me, and I now ask your counsel, with the determination to follow it." Templeton was startled; he half shaded his face with his hand, and gazed searchingly upon the high forehead and bold eyes of his nephew. "I believe you are sincere," said he, after a pause.
Miss Templeton is an heiress herself, and Morris might easily take it into his head to spend ten or fifteen thousand pounds in building a house or buying an estate, and though I think I have guarded against his requiring an account of our stewardship, I can't prevent his wishing to draw a large sum of money.
