BRADDON, Author^of "Lady AuDLEY's Skcrkt," «« Wyllabd'8:.Weikd,» Etc., Etc. CHAPTER m.â€" Uangkr. Lady Belfield consented to inlfil the en Mgement 'vaich her son had made for her. But she owned that hec dear Adrian had been somewhat precipitate. " To call two days mnning seems rather too eager," she said," and if we find by and bye that Col. Deverill has degenerated, and that the girls are not nice, it will be difficult to draw back. To go to them twice in a week implies such an ardour of friend â- hip." Adrian blushed. " I think yon will like them," he said, with a troubled air. " Yon have told me so little about them after oeing with them so long. What did they talk about all the time " "The places where they had lived, mostly. Tou see we had no common friends to pull to pieces. Mrs. Baddeley seemed horrified when I told her what a limited amount of gaiety she is likely to get in this part of the country." " Then she is evidently fond of pleasure. •' I'm afraid she is. However, her hus- band is expected home next month, and no doubt he will keep her in the right path." " And the unmarried sister, what is she like?" " Very like Mrs. Baddeley, only prettier." "My dear Adrian, you talk of nothing but their beauty. I'm afraid they must be empty headed girls." " They are not blue stockings. They did not quote Huxley or Sir John Lubbock, did not make a sintjle enquiry about the geology '•f the neighbourhood, or our antiquarian remains. I believe they are the kina of wo- men who think that ruined abbeys were in- vented for pic-nics, and who only consider a ^ological stratum in its adaptability to the growth of roses or strawberries. They are very handsome, and I think they are very nice. But you will be able to judge for yourself in ten minutes." This dialogue had occurred in Lady Belfield's barouche, on the way to Morcomb. They were approaching Mr. Pollack's demesne, and a litcle flock of Mr. Pollack's cheep had just passed, them in a cloud of dust on their way to the slaughter-house, a sight that always afS.icted Lady Belfield, so tender wm her love of all four-footed beasts, from the petted fox terrier in her drawing- room to the bait starved horse on the common. The carriage drove up to the Corinthian portico, and before the horses drew up. Colonel Deverill was out upon the steps to welcome his old love. He handed her out of her carriage, and escorted her into the house. He was a fine handsome-lookinc: man, with gray hair and black moustache and eyebrows, a man whom strangers gen- erally spoke of as " striking." " I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this early visit, Lsidy Belfield," he said. " I was so anxious for my girls to know you. They have had such a wandering life, poor •hildren. I have so few friends, except in that miserable country of mine where, of •ourise, everybody knows them. And this is your son Sir Adrian," shaking hands with him as he spoke, " my girls told me how well they got on with you yesterday. Brazen-faced husseys, I'm afraid you found them." Again Adrian blushed, so strangely did the paternal phrase jar upon his ear. " They are not at all like the ordinary run of young ladies," said Deverill. "I have brought them up in the true spirit of crmar- aderie, and I always think of them as jolly good fellows." Lady Belfield looked horrified. She ac- companied her host through an ante-room to the long drawing room, speechless with wonder that any father should so speak of his daughters. Two fair and graceful forms rose from be- fore the hearth, and Adrian breathed more freely. No flowing tresses to-day, and a far less liberal display of ankles. Mrs. Bad- deley wore a fashionable tailor gown and a hieh collar, and her hair was dressed to per- fection. Helen was in soft, grey cashmere, with a falling collar of old lace, and long tight sleeves, which set off the beautiful arms and slender white hands. She was still aesthetic, but che was tidy, and her little bronze slip- pers only played at bopeep under the long limp skirt as she came forward to welcome Lady Belfield. Her beauty was indisputable her smile would have fascinated an anchorite. She recived Lady Belfield with caressing sweet- ness, almost ignoring Adrian, to whom she only gave tue tips of her taper fingeis. She seated herself on a low sofa by her guest, and asked leave to loosen her heavy mantle with its deep fur border. " You will take it off, wont you You, are not going to pay us a flying visit. Father, take Lady Belfield's mantle directly, or she will be suffocated in this warm room." Between them they removed her ladyship's cloak, and made her comfortable upon the sofa, with a hassock fer her feet, and a little table for ber teacup. y Now, you look homelike and friendly," sud Helen, seating herself on a still lower ottoman, so as to be in a manner at the visi- tor's feet. Colonel Deveiill looked on with a pleased air. " I hope you won't object to our being very fond of you," pleaded Helen. " You are not in the least like a stranger to us. Lady. Belfield. Father has talked so much of your girlish days and his young mannish days, when all the world was so much bet- ter than it is now, and when even an Irish estate was worth something. How hard it is for us young people to be bom into such a bad, used up world, isn't it To be creat- ed at the fag end of everything '" The girl almost took Constance Belfield's breath awayj She was so easy, so spontane- ous, and her pretty caressing had such an air of reality. Adrian's mother had come in fear and doubt, rather inclined to dislike Colonel Deverill's daughters, who were only beautiful and this one was wheedling her- self into tiie warm motherly heart already. ' And so you have not forgotten the old days in Eton Square, when your father a^ my father were such friends," she said to the Colonel at last, feeling that she mnat say â- omething. "It la very pleasant to find you have made your daughter like me in •• I have not forgotten a single detail of that time," replied Deverill. It was just the one golden period of my life before I had found out what care means. So long as I was a pensioner on my father everything went well with me if I got into difficulties the dear old boy always got me out of them. There was a srrowl, perhaps, and then I was forgiven. But when he died and I was my own master, with a rich wife, too, as people told me, the floodgates of extrava- gance were opened and the stream was too strong for me. I thought there must be a lot of spending in our two 'fortunes, and I took things easily. When I pulled up at last, there was deuced little left, only just enough for us to get along with in a very humble way. We have had to cut and con- trive, I can tell you, Lady Belfield. This girl of mine doesn't know what it b to have a gown from a fashionable milliner, and I have left off cigars for the last aix years. I only keep a box or two on the premises for my friends." " A case of real distress, sighed Mrs, Baddeley, with a tragi-comical air, "we contrive to be very happy in spite of the wolf at the door, don't we, father It is an Irish gentleman's normal state to be ruined. Now, Helen, go and pour out the tea, and let me sit by Lady Belfield." Helen went to the tea table which Dono- van had just set out. There was no other servant in attendance. This slow and fa.ith- f ul Hibernian seemed to comprise the indoor staff. "And are these all your family?" asked Constance, looking at the sisters. " These are all I have in the world, and one of these will be deserting me, I suppose, if her husband ctm contrive to stay in Eng- land," answered Colonel Deverill. " Which I hope he may be able to do, poor fellow," said Mrs. Baddslejr, with a more careless air than Lady Belfield quite approved in a wife's mention of an absent husband. Adrian handed the tea cups and muffins, and when those duties were performed slip- ped into a se^t beside Helen, and they two talked confidentially, while Mrs. Baddeley and her father and Lady Baltield carried on an animated conversation chiefly about the neighbourhood and its little ways, Sir Adrian was questioning the young lady for the most part, trying to find out what manner of girl she was, so that he might be the better able to meet a second attack from his mother. Did she hunt? Yes, and she adored hunting; it was just the one thing in lile wortti living for. "But I think yon are fond of yachting too," suggested Adrian. " You talked of yachting yesterday. " " I revel in a yacht. Yes, when therea no hunting yachting is just the one thing I live for. When father had a two hundred ton yacht travelling about the Mediterran- ean my life was an ecstacy." " Then you are a good sailor." "If that means never being ill I am a very good sailor. But I go a little further than that, for I know something about naviga- ting a yacht. I should not be in the least afraid of finding myself at sea without a skipper." " These are out of door accomplishments," said Adrian, "no doubt you have equal gifts for winter and wet weather. You are musical, of course." " Gomme ci comme ca. I can play a valse, or accompany a song." " Your own soncs, for instance." " My own, or yours, if you sing." " Alas No, I am not vocal. Bat yon â€" I like to know all your talents. You paint, perhaps â€" flowers." " Heaven forbid Do I look the kind of girl to devote a week to the stody of a oar- nation in a glass of water, not a bit like when it's done or to a hedge sparrow's nest and a bunch of primroses? No, I never have used a brush but I sometimes indulge in a little caricaturing with a quill pen and an inkpot. But how very egotisti- cally I am prosing. Tell me about yourself, please. Sir Adrian, since we are to Ie friends as well as neighbors. What are your pecu- liar vanities â€" tenuis, shooting, fishing^I hear you don't hunt " " No, I don't hunt I do a little fly fish- ing in the season, and I shoot a few pheasants every October, just to keep pace with the neighborhood. 1 am not a spot to- man. Miss Deverill. Books and music are my only vanities." " I adore books, said Helen, smiling at him, " they furnish a room so sweetly. If I were rich enough I would have mine all in vellum, with different colored labels." "You are a connoisseur of bindings, I see." " Oh, I like everythine to look pretty. It is the torment of my life that I am not surrounded with beautiful things. In our nomadic life it is impossible to have one's own atmosphere. Two or three Liberty chairs and a little Venetian glass won't make a home in a wilderness. I hope some day I shall have a lovely house of my own and heaos of money." She txpresved her longings with perfect frankness, as one unaccustomed to think be- fore she spoke. Lady Belfield rose. The visit had lasted nearly three-quarters of an hour, not as long as Adrian's yesterday. " You will come and see me soon, I hope," she said to Mrs. Baddeley, " I am dying to see the Abbey. I am told it u too lovely." " It is a dear, good old place, and we are all fond of it. 1 heard you talking of books. Miss DeverilL I know Adrian will be pleased to show you tiis library." " I shall be delighted to see itâ€" and the stables," answered Helen. " I have heard so much of the stables. And I want to see Mr. Belfield's hunterB." " I am sorry he is not at home to show them to you. He is very proud of them." 'Oh, but it will be fun to get acquainted with them in bisabscutce, and when becomes back it will seem aa if I had ftone half way towards knowing tiim ' said Helen laugh- injrJy. She and her sister went Irith Lady Bel- field to the portico, and hi^, about her aa aba got into her ouriage. "Tbeae oueaaing Iriah waya war* new to Conatooe Balfidd, bat ahe yielded to the fascination of two fair facea and two fresh younn voieea, full of "I don't know that they are altogether good atyle, Adrian," ahe said, as they drove home, " but they are very sweet. Adrian agreed aa to their aweetness, but not aa to their deficiency in atyle, " I have never agreed to any hard and faat rulea for a woman'a mannera," he aaid, rather irritably. "I don't recogniae that conventional atandard by which every wo man mnat apeak and look and move n ex- actly the aame faahion. I think Mrs. Bad- deley and her aiater are aimply charming in their unstudied frankness and warm-hearted enthusiasm. How really pleased they were to see you." .. t " They seemed very pleased, yet as 1 was quite a stranger to them " " Ob, but you were not a stranger. They had talked of you "and thought of you, and elevated yon into a kind of ideal friend. Their hearte went out to you at once." " They are very charming, but when I meet with girls of that kind I am always re- minded of Tot, the fox terrier." " As how, mother " " She is sach a darling thing, and if ahe sees me in the garden or the stable yard she rushes to miB and leaps up at me in a kind of ecstatic affection, but I have seen her behave just the same five minutes after- wards to the buteher. It seems an exuber- ance of love that runs over anyhow.' "Rather hard upon Helen Deverill to compare her with a fox torrier I" said Adri- an." Helen Deverill How familiar seemed the sound of her name to him already. Helen Deverill I and he had known her only four and twenty hours. "You'll ask them over soon, I suppose mother " ;, "If you like, dear," ;â-  "To dinner?" "That means a party," "Oh, no, pray don't have a. party. The VicEur, perhaps, and the Freemantles â€" ^just three or four friendly people. One sees so little of one's friends at a set dinner. They would like to meet Freemantle and his wife, I dare say." " And we oould ask Jack Freemantle, as there are girls." " Yes, 1 suppose we must have Jack. He is an oaf, but the kind of oaf who always goto on with girls." " He sings, Adrian." " Did I not say that he was an oaf, mother. In my estimation, a man who sings ranks almost as low as a man who plays the fluto." " And yet I thought you were fond of mnsie." "Music, yes, but not amateur si aging and playing. It is because I love Aiusic that I hate the young man who carries a roll of songs when he goes out to dinner, and the young woman who can sit down in cold blood to murder Beethoven." The mother smiled and then sighed. Her son was all that was dear to her, but she had the feeling that a good many mothers and fathers must needs experience now-a days, that the young men and women of this present generation are trained too fine. The invitation to a friendly dinner, at three days' notice, was sent next morning. Adrian reminded his mother of the letter at least three times before it was written and despatched by a iiounted messenger. Posts in the country are so slow, and there was always a hunter to be exercised. Sir Adrian walked across the fields to Chirwell Grange, and invited Mr. and Mrs. Freemantle, whose house was just three quarters of a mile from the Abby, as the crow flies. Mrs. Freemantle was his mother's most intimate friend in the parish, a sturdy, practical woman, who affected nothing better than common sense, but ex- celled in the exercise of that admirable qual ity. Her well-to-do neigbonrs, for the most part, disliked her. She was too keen and outspoken for them but the poor and the sick adored her. She had known the brothers from their cradles, and treated them as cavalierly as she treated her own Jack, future Squire of Chirwell, or her daughter Lucy, a tell slip of a girl who scarcely seem- ed to have a mind of her own, so overshadow- ed was she by her strongminded mother. " Von mnst all com-," said Adrian, to this stalwart matron, who stood bareheaded in the cold, clipping the dead leaves off a fa v- oriteshrnbin a thicket that bounded her lawn. " I am sure you will like them. " "Them," echoed Mrs. Freemantle. "Then there are more than Colonel Deverill You only spoke of him just now." " There are his daughters â€" two daugh- ters." " Oh, there are daughters, are they Is that the reason yon are so eager to launch this new man? I thought you generally held yourself aloof from girls, Adrian. I know you have been very tiresome when- ever I have wanted you here to play tenuis." *i am not particnlarly inclined to girlish society in a general way, perhafts. But these iMiica are â€" well, a little oat of the common. Mrs. Freejuuitle gave a aotte voco whiatle. "lBee,"8he said. "They are the new style of girls, fast and farioas, just the kind of girls I should not like my Lucy to know. They would corrupt her in a week. She would begin to think of nothing but her frocks, and consider herself a martyr be- cause she lived in the country eleven months in every twelve. God forbid that she should ever get intimate with such girls. Irish too I beiieve that after five and twenty they generally drink." " Don't you think it would lie aa well to see them before you condemn them " saia Adrian, who was used to Mrs. Freemantle's little ways, and not prone to take offence at her speech. " I am not condemning them. I am only preparing myself for the worst. Yes, of course we will come, if Lady Belfield wante us. We are free for Saturday, I know." "You'll all come." Mrs. Freemantle pursed up her lips in an- other suppressed whistle. "Four would be too many. Jack and the father and I will come. That will be more than enough of us." "You are afraid to trust Lucy among my Hibernians. I don't think tho ladies have taken to the cratur yet! One of them is married, by the bye, her husband is expect- ed home from Bombay, shortly." " A grass widow," exclaimed Mrs. Free- mantle, " ^orse and worse. I feel sure they are a very disreputable set, and your eager- nes3 to iiis Innate them into society is a mis- mistaken benevolenc*" And you would makeme your cas^,kn I am to be the thin end of the â- w^due " "Idou'c bcl.eve Colonel Deverill or his daughters care a straw about your stuck-up rural society, only they are bright, clever people, and I want to see something of them mystlf." " Take care, Adrian. What if this Irish Colonel want's to be your stepfather " " He will never real*z3 his wish. I can trust my mother's discretion, and her love for her sons." " My dear Adrian, nine people out of ton would say your mother acted wisely in marrying again, if she were to make a suit- able match. Your brother Valentine is not the easiest young man to manage â€" â€" " " Do you thio^k a step-father would make him more manageable, Mrs. Freemantle I Wonder you can talk -such nonsense," ex- claimed Adrian, getting angiy. " My dear boy, I don't know what to think about step-fathers and second mar- riages but I think your mother has a troublesome handful with her younger son." " He is a good fellow, and he is very fond of his mother." "Fond of her, after his own fashion, yes â€" a dutiful son, no. Well, Adrian, every back has to carry its burden may your mother's rest lightly. You are the person who can lighten it for her. She has at least one devoted son. There, there, you look angry and you look distressed. My foolish tongue has been running on too fast. I promise to be in my most agreeable mood on Saturday evening, and I'll try to admire Colonel Deverill's daughters. 'V\ hat is the married lady's name " "Baddeley. " " What? We have some Baddeleys j among our family connexions. I daresay we shall find out that Mrs. Baddeley's husband is a kind of cousin. The world is so absurd- ly small." I' From Chirwell, Adrian walked to the j Vicarage, and in the dusty old library, where the worthy Vicar had taught him his rudiments t»relve years ago, discovered that luminary nodding over his Jeremy Taylor, I xactly in the same attitude, and as it I seemed to his old pupil, in the same suit of I clothes which had marked him in those I eirlier days. It was a tradition in Cbad- I worth that the Vicar never read any other I book than those ancient mottled-calf-bonnd volumes of the great divine, and that he had never been known in his sermons to quote j any other authority, yet produced his name ever with an air of novelty, as one who in- I troduced a new light to his congregation.
