Gerard Montagu:

Then suddenly she looked up and saw the big tears in his eyes , and she stole her pretty little hand into his big , broad palm and was silent . " Well , dear , and you will go , of course 1 " " No , not for Avorlds , uncle , if you don ' t wish me to . You have been a father to

me . I owe everything to you , and no one shall take me from you . " "Ah , my dear , I am afraid they will , and if they should , I think it would break my heart to lose you 1 " John Falconbridge Avashowevertoo

, , unselfish to stand in the Avay of Muriel ' s happiness , and it was only a Aveek after-Avards and Muriel Avas at Sneyd Park . She had never been in this part of the country before , though when she returned from school in Germany it was intended

she should come by one of the Great Eastern boats to Harwich , but her illness prevented , and she afterwards came the Calais and Dover route . Yet somehoAV the

scene Avas strangely fammar . The beautiful river , the vieAv of its great curves from the Hall , the distant toAvn of IpsAvich , all seemed like some picture she had seen , some vision of the place she had had long ago . Lady Kilpatrick came out and greeted

her Avarmly . Lord Chelmondiston , Avho had intended meeting her at the station , came in soon after , aud she could not help remarking to Lady Kilpatrick Avhen they Avere introduced : " It all seems very odd , but if I did not

know to the contrary I should be quite positive that I had seen Lord Chelmondiston before . " " Say Arthur , please , " that young aristocrat put in with his most fascinating smile ; " you knoAV Ave are cousins . But

it is strange , I seem to feel that I have seen your face before . " Muriel laughed a merry laugh and remarked that " her face Avas by no means an uncommon one . "

Her dark , handsome cousin Avas about to make a very complimentary answer , for the lady Avas pretty , and he Avas an intense admirer of pretty women , but Lady Kilpatrick carried aAvay her young relative to take off her things , She enjoyed her visit very much , Lady Kilpatrick Avas not a bad sort of Avoman , and soon she got to be fond of the sAveet ,

even-tempered , clever girl who had come amongst them . There were lots of people there , and Muriel saw plenty of company . After staying a month or two the Countess ' s quick eye discerned something Avhich made her think that her son had

certainly fallen in love with his prett y cousin , and she was by no means sure that the feeling Avas not reciprocal . She certainly had not bargained for this , but Lord Chelmondiston had been rather fast , and it would be as well now that he Avas twent

y four that he should think of settling down . Lady Muriel was only seventeen , and perhaps after all there might be nothing in it . Besides , hoAv about Mr . Montagu ? She never had been able to make anything out about that . Muriel had once or twice

mentioned him , but it AA'as in such a Avay that one AVOUIC ! not have thought there Avas any feeling at all in that quarter . At any rate matters must take their course—it

Avould be time enough to interfere Avhen interference became necessary . Perhaps if she were to speak now she might only put ideas into their heads which were not there before . So her ladyship said nothing . One clay they took Lord Kilpatrick ' s yacht and sailed CIOAVU the Orwell and up

the Stour . There Avas a party of five or six , but soniehoAv or other Lord Chelmondiston and Lady Muriel seemed to have so much to say to each other as to have little time to devote to their guests . Somebody said something about old customsand

, HalloAve ' en came up in the course of conversation , Avhich reminded Muriel that her birthday AA'as on that day . Lord Chelmondiston bent over her and

said : " Muriel , shall I tell you a secret 1 " " What is it ?" " Well , of course you won ' t believe it . " " How do you knoAV ?" ' Well , last October we had some Irish lethe Bourchiersat the Hall and

you you . I had attempted to tamper Avith the poAvers of the unseen world , but if I Avere on my oath before a court of j ustice i should swear it . "
