LIN GOLDEN rims. CHAPTER XV.â€"CONrivusn. Presently we heard that the drag had arrived, and there wasa little flutter among the ladies at our stall. As for me, I knew that these gentleman, who seemed to be thought of so much consequence. would not want any of the things I had to sell ; so I went on quite quietly serving the Village- women, with whom I was doing very good business. However, when the gentlemen did lounge in, one of them, who was tall and had a long fair moustache, looked for a long time at the things at my end of the stall and asked the price of a tea-kettle. l thought he was amusing himself; but he bought it and carried it off; and presently two more gentleman came into the marquee and straight up to my corner. and bought, the one a gridiron and the other a soap- dish. Then the first one came back and asked the price of so many things that he took too much attention from my village Customers ; and at last I told him he would find some ties and cigar-cases and gentlemen's things further up the stall. But he put up his'eye- glass and looked at me gravely, and said he could not afford to spend his money on trumperyâ€"he wanted something useful; and could I oblige him with a toasting fork? Then he was 0 long making up his mind between a penny one and a sixpenny one that I told him he had better buy them both, and, when he had settled which he liked best, he could give the other away. But he said. "That is an extravagant way of going to work," and took the penny one. When he had gone away, Laurence came up again, and I told him. laughing, about the funny purchases they had made. But he was not at all amused ; he said it was tomfoolery. They came again, though, and some more of them too; and at last the first one of all returned a third time and said he had been entrusted with a. sovereign to lay out to the best advantage for a young couple who were setting up housekeeping. I had d e such good business with the village wo and these unc xpected customers that I had not a sovereign’s worth of ironmongery and crockery left; so he bought up all I had, in- cluding two pair of pattens and a number of mouse-traps, and made up the money in holland pinafores. Presently he came in again with Lady Mills, who asked Mrs. Manners if she could spare her another helper; and, looking down the stall, and seeing me with only a few aprons and children’s clothes left to sell. she asked if the little lady in white at the end could come ; and Mrs. Manners, looking at me gravely and anxiously, as if she was sending me into a lion’s den, asked me to go. But the other ladies at our stall did not like it at all. The other marquee looked like fairy-land. The two stalls had so many beautiful bright things on them, besides a quantity of flow- ers, and the ladies behind them. in their light dresses, looked so pretty. The village people did not buy much here, but came in shyly in tires and threes, and talked in whispers. But there were all Lady Mills’ party, and a lot of Beaconsburgh reople, and members of most of the rich families in the neighborhotd. And there was a great deal of laughing and talking going on ; and this marquee was altogether a much more amusing place than the other. Lady Mills, who I thought had sweeter manners than any lady I had ever seen, thrust a big basket of flowers into my hands and told me to walk up and down and ask people to buy them. “Ask the gentleman,” she whispered, with a pretty smile. But I did not like to do that; so I stood with my basket in a' corner until the tall fair man who _had bought so many things of me came up and gave me half-as crown for one little bud; and I thought how silly it had been of him to make such a fuss over the toasting- forks when he was ready to give so much for a flower. And then Laurence found me out. and he walked up and down with me, holding my big basket; and I sold my flow- ers quickly, and was vtry happy indeed, for Laurence talked and whispered to me, and looked at me all the time as we moved among the crowd, and never once left me while we were in that tent. He told me everybody said I was the prettiest girl there which of course was nonsense : but it was very nice to hear him say so. “’hen I had sold all the flowers, he whisperedâ€"â€" “Now let us slip out. and we can talk.” So we tucked my basket under one of the stalls, and went out of the tent and away into a line near the fltlj ; and Lwrenbe's face grew very anxious and unhappy ahl asked him what was the matter. “I shall have to go away, Violet," said he looking at me very intently. “Goaway! Whyâ€"why?” said I, the tears rushing to my eyes. I had not expected any- thing so dreadlul as that. “My mother has decidedâ€"has been per" wanedâ€"that she must go away to the Riviera to escape the wet season we are threatened with, and l shallhave to go with her.” “But you will come back? You will soon come back, won’t you?" "I don’t know. I don‘t know what may happen while I am away. I don't know what the plots and plans may be of the per- son who has caused me to be sent away,” “ What do you mean l \Vhat person, Laurence ? Your motherâ€"your sister?" Laurence looked at me without answering, in the same searching intent nay as before, for a minute. or two; then he saidâ€"- "Listen, Violet. You are such an innocent little thing that I don’t know how to tell you what I must." I could not help looking rather frightened at this opening; and he stoppeda little while to comfort me before he went onâ€" “Last night, when 1 had left you and gone home, l found Mr. Rayner just leav- ing the Hall." Mr. Rayner! Then he must have gone on there from the Vicarage, and he must have come straight from the Hall when he passed me to go to his room, as I crouched in the shrubbery. Inurence continuedâ€" "I went straight into the study to speak to my father. You know there is more sympathy_between him and me than there is between any of the rest of us, so I went straight ahead and told him all about you, and what a sweet little thing you were; and I asked him to find me some occupation in an ofiiee. or on a farm or something, at once for 1 must have a home to take you to before the year was out. And the dear old dad said you had a good sweet face, and he should like to have such a daughter; but what would the mater say? You know my mother rule him with a pretty tight hand ; and he may say ‘Yes’ to anything when her back i turned, but he doesn‘t say ‘No’ to her to her face. And my mother has strong prejudices, and wants _me to marry some one with money, ‘to improve ‘our position in the counli‘y.’ And I told him 1 was twenty-four, and old enough to know my own mind, and I didn't care what she wanted. But he begged me not to offend her, and then said, 'Hhe has just been in to my something that may have a bearing on the matter. It seems she has set hu- heart on going to the Riviera, and insists on your going with her. Now supposing l slack a farm for you while you are away, you can step into it directly you come back â€"l suppose she won’t want to be gone more than a couple of monthsâ€"and you can try your hand at farming for a year or two, and keep it warm for Jack, who wants to take to it, he says. When you are living away from us, you will be more your own master, and your mother will have to submit to your marrying whom you like. So don‘t say a. word to her or to your sistersâ€"you know they always side with herâ€"till you come back.’ I didn’t much like this; butl could not say ‘No’ to my fatherwhe has been so good to meâ€"and I couldn't refuse to go with my mother ; nevertheless I was half mad all the same, for I know who has per- suaded her to this." “Do you? \Vho 2” "Mr. Rayner. Haven't you noticed how he has been steadily getting round my mother for the last few weeks. till he rules her as surely as she rules my father; I‘ve watched him. and tried to put her on her guard; but I am no match for him. l wonv dered what he was doing it for ; now I see.” - “But l don‘t Laurence. \Vhy are you so prejudiced against Mr. Rayner ~when he has been so kind to me too? \Vhat should he persuade her to go away for?" Laurence looked at me earnestly. "To get me away.” ” To get you away? that?" Laurence began to speak, but got very red, and stopped. “He doesn't like me, Violet, doesn’t want me to have you.” "Oh, indeed you are mistaken, Laurence! He has often praised you.” “Yes; that is his cunning. ButI tell you he would stick at nothing to prove it my marrying you; and as long as you are under his roof I shall never know a moment‘s peace," said he excitedly. “He is a bad manâ€"â€"-” “ Oh, Laurence. you shouldn‘t say that l l know him better than you do, and l kulpw that he is goodness and kindness it- se .” "Violet, you are no wiser than a. child. How can you see the way he treats his wife, and yet call him good?" "His wife! Ah, I know all about that, butâ€"I must not tell you. Indeed he is not cruel to her. as you think, Iiiurence. I know all about it; I do indeed.” “\Vell, then, since I must say it. what do you think of the way he treats you ? Doesn’t he show he cares for you more than for her? Can’t you see he is making love to you?" “I.iurencel”cried I, aghast. “How dare you say such a thing? “'hat have I done that you should think so ill of me as to think I would let a man who is married make love IVhy should he do and he to ine'." How could you tell me you loved me, thinking that? I will never speak to you again.” I turned sharply from him, and was back in the field among the people before he could stop me. Tea was being given to the children, and Iwent to help; but the enjoy~ ment of the day was gone. In adazed state I was still handing about cake, too miserable and excited to know quite what I was doing, when Lady Mills and Mr. :iuers. Rayner came up to me. This lady, who had charm- ul me so much, had in return taken a fancy to me, and had begged Mr. and Mrs. It ry- ner to let me go home with her to stay iiu til Monday; and they had consented. At another time this invitation would have made me half mad with delight, but now it seemed only to overwhelm me with terror at the thought of going among so many strangers. However, they sent me home to prepare what things I wanted, and told me to make haste. As I was packing a. muslin frock I had never yet worn, and wishing I had some- thing handsomer fcr the occasion. I end- denly thought of the paste pendant Mr. Rayner had given me. That would look quite dazsling peeping out of the muslin and lace round my thrrat. So I packed that and a. piece of black velvet to wear it on; and I was scarcely ready before Jane came up to say that Lady Mills’ carriage was at the gate waiting for me. But just outside the hall door I met Lau- rence. with a rose in his hand. hViolet, Violet, don’t go without a word to me ! Hereâ€"throw away that‘rose and wear mine." ‘ I will wear yours,” said 1 ; but I can't throw away this one till it is dead. That would be ungrateful,“ ‘ “Did Mr. Rayner give it you?"â€"â€"“Yes.” He snatched out of my hand the rose I had just taken from him, and flung it away. “I beg your pardon, Miss Christie, for my presumption in thinking you would ac- cept mine after his. Good evening.” He strode off towards the plantation path, and he Would not turn round when I called “Laurence, Laurence!” I could not stay to run after him, even if I had been able to overtake him ; so. with tears in my eyes. I plunged into the fl)wer bed where his rose had fallen and picked it up, and put Mr. Rayner's gent. on the ground instead. It was an ungrateful thing to do ; but I must do what Laurence wished, even if he did not know it. And so with a. very heavy heart I ran up the path to the carriage, and started on a visit that was to be strangely eventful to me. CHAPTER XVI. There were four ladies already in the carriage which was waiting for me at the gateâ€"Lady Mills herself, With another ma.- tronly-looking lady by her side, whose naineI already knew, was Mrs. Cunning- ham; and on the opposite seat were a younger lady with a rather sharp express- ion, named Mrs Glowes. who was consider- ed very clever, and an unmarried one some that seat; but there was plenty of room for us all. We drove back first to the High Field, that Lady Mills might tell the rest of the party to make haste,jor they would be late for dinner. There were some ladies on the drag waiting for the gentlemen, who Were now amusing themselves selling off by auction some of the things remaining on the stalls. while the grooms were busy packing into the inside of the drag the curious col- lection of purchases made by the whole party. There was a dog-cart waiting, with a gentleman in it smoking; and standing by the home’s head, also with a cigar in his mouth, was the tall fair gentleman whose face I now seemed to know the best of all. As soon as we drove up, he came to the side of the carriage. , “ You are horribly crowded in there ; let me take Miss~Miss Christie in the dog- cart.” “ And what will you do with Charlie, ’l‘om?” “I'll put Charlie behind." "Charlie is getting used to being put be- hind,” said the oldest lady of all, looking at Mrs. ClowesI and laughing. "Proper place for a husband, Mrs. Cunn- ingham." said the fair gentleman. I afterwards found that the gentleman they called “ Charlie” was Captain CloWes. “\Vell, will you comel Miss Christie?" “No. Tom : Miss Christie is better where she is.." “She couldn‘t be listtn‘ off than with me," said he, in a gravely innocent tone. Everybody laughed. “Take my part. Mrs Clowes. Dn't all jump upon me at once when I want to make an impression. Could Miss Christie be safer than with me?" Everybody glanced rather mischievoust at Mrs. Clowes ; and I saw a faint color rise in her cheeks. "Not with Charley behind,“ said slie;aud everybody laughed more than ever. 1 was glad Lidy Mills would not let me go, though, for I did not care much about the gentleman they called “Tom,” and Laurence did not like him either. It was about seven miles from Geldham to Dcnham Umrt. The drive seemed tome beautiful, though the country was llit ; the rains had kept everything very green, anl the sink- ing sun warmed the landscape with a gold- en tint. I looked about mo and listened to the ladies" talk, but did not say much. Some one said I was silent, and some one else said “Tom” would make me talk; but indeed their conversation was so different from any I had ever heard that I could not have joined in it very well. even if I had known them better. Some of them said things which would have sounded quite wicked if the) had said them seriously ; but they were all in fun, and they seemed to laugh at everything. They laughed a good deal. at Sir Jonas, who was Lady Mills' hus- band. and she herself imilated the way he would rub his hands and stare up at the ceiling, and say in liltle jerks he “ hoped they hadâ€"enjoyed themselves-fine day. Stupid things, bazaarâ€"but bring young peo- ple together.” “And keep the old ones away," said Mrs. Clowns, in her sharp tones. And everybody laughed very much. Denham Court was a. pretty place built on the side of a slight hill. with the river [)JVC' ney running not far from the foot of it. I was shown up into a. room that looked out upon green houses and cucumber-frames, and from which I had a view of the river, just a point where it widened out into a. broad expanse like a lake. Just'then I had not much time to grieve about my quarrel with Laurence and his cruel con- duct about the rose; but I did shed a few tears, and wondered whether he would write and ask me » to make it up, and thought that I should not be able to enjoy myself at all in this pretty place without him. Then I shook out my muslin frock and put it on, and, when I had fastened the black velvet round my throat, with the beautiful flashing pendant on it, and pinned on one side of the lace edging, a little low:r down, the red rose Laurence had flung away and 1 had meekly picked up again. I looked so much nicer than I had thOught it possible for me to look that I could not help feeling that life was not quite a blank, and wishing that Laurence could see me. I had left my room, and was going along the corridor, when I met a man the sight of whom made me start and turn quite cold. For he looked so much like the mysterious visitor at the Alders whom Mr. Rayner had described as “a gentleman," and whoml had seen two nights before going into the stable with Tom Parkes and Sirah, that I thought it must be be. But this man stood aside with the stolidly respectful riiauner, not of a gentleman, but of a. servant; and I hurried past him, feeling quite shocked by the strength of the resemblance; for of course a friend of Mr. Rayner’s however familiarly he might choose to speak to Tom Parkes and Sarah. would not be a man- servant at Denham Court. In the hall I met a maid who showed me into the drawing room, which Was empty; so I walked to one of the windows which led into a conservatory, and ‘ peeped in. The flowers were so beautiful, the scent so intoxicating, that I crept in step by step with my hands clasped, as if drawn by en- chantinent; anl I had my face close to a large plant With white blossoms like lilies, when 1 saw peeping through the big fan- shaped leaves of a. plant behind it the fair moustache and eye-glass of the gentleman they called “Tom.” He was looking intent- ly, not at me, but at the ornament sparkl- ing at my throat. He looked up when I did. and came round to me. “ Nice kept place, isn’t it '3 proud of his flowers,” “1 never saw any like them. Look at these. Are they lilies?" “I believe. this is called ‘E’uchaoistis Amazoniaf’ if not, it is something like that. Shall I cut you some?" “ Oh, don’t, don’t! pityl" “I suppose you \vo uldu't condescend to wear them?” “I shouldn’t dare to do so. \Vhat would Sir Jonas say if you spoilt his beautiful plants?” “er Jonas wouldn’t say anything; he never does, Even the gardener, a much more important person, wouldn't say any- thing to me. I’m a spoilt child here, Miss Christie; so you had better make friends with me, and I'll get you everything you want.” "Make friends! Why, I‘m not your en- emy. am I? said I laughing. Sir Jonas is It would be such a years older than I. I made the third on “Not at present; but you must be careful. Now I will tell you who is my enemy"â€"-and he stopped and looked at the flower at my throatâ€"“the man who gave you that rose." I started, and his mouth twitched alittle. as if he wanted to smile. “How do you know asked. blushing." "Never mind how I know. I am a ma- gician, and I am not going to give you lessons in the black art for nothing. But look here! I‘ll tell you how I know, if you will give it to me in exahange for any flower you like to choose in this place." I shook my head. “I don’t want to exchange it; aul I don’t care to have lessons in your black art, thank you.” “Now that is your nasty pride, Miss Christie. But I suppose one must not ex- pect humility from a lady who vwar‘s such diamonds;" and he glanced again at my pen- dant, as he had done several times while we talked. “They arc not real diamonds," said I, laughing, and rather pleas-3d for the mo- ment at his mistake. “ They are only paste.” He ia’seil his eyebrows. “Then allow me to congratulate you, Miss Christie, on possessing the very best irnitan tion of the real thing that I have ever semi. I know something of diamonds, and I never was deceived before.” I was looking at him curiously, for he seemed to speak as if he did not quite be- lieve me. "look! I will g) to the door," said I, for the light was fading, “ and then. as you are such a. good judge, you will be able to tell." Iwalkcd to the door, and be bent his face down close to mine and examined my pen- dant carefully. Presently he gave a slight start. “Am I taking too great a liberty in ask- ing if there are initials on the other side of that?" “Yes, there are,” said I, surprised. “Arid will you tell me what they are?” I hesitated. If this gentleman persisted in thinking the ornament was made of dia- monds, he would think it a. very strange thing if he found out that it was Mr. Riy- ner who had given such a costly present to his child‘s governesss ; so I said quietlyâ€" "I would rather not tell you.” “I beg your pardon. \Vill you forgive my curiosity? I have seen only one orna- ment set exictly like that infers:th it was in real diainnnds"â€"3.nd again he. looked at me. “I was wondering if it had been ex- actly imitated in paste by the jeweller who set it, and if the sham twm-brother had, by some curious coincidence, come into your possesSion." “How level; the real one must be!” "No lovelier than yours I assure you.‘l “Then doesn’t it seem a pity to spend so much money on real ones?" said I. “ What do you think the real one was worth?“ “About fifteen hundred pounds, I be- lieve.” “And you thought I had on an ornament worth fifteen hundred pounds?" said I, laughing heartily. "Oh, if the persen who gave it to me could know, how he would laugh.” He caught at my words. “He would laugh would he ?" I was annoyed with myself, for I had not ment to let out even the sex of the giver of my pendant. He continuedâ€" “He would be pleased, I should think, to have his paste taken for diamonds.” I. did not answer, but only laughed again. “Have any Christie 2” “No; and, for fear they should make the same mistake that you have made, I shall not let them," said I. And I had raised my hands to take it (II when Mrs. Cunningham and another lady came into the conservatory. The elder lady’s eyes fell upon the unlucky trinket at once. “ IVhat are you taking that off for, my dear? It is just what- you want round the throat." “ Bera‘ise I have been teased about wear- ing diamonds, and they are only sham ones; and I don’t want to be teased any more,” said I. rather lrcmulously. “ Never mind Tom, my dear. Don’t take off-your pretty prudent for him. They are certainly very like, though," said she, look- ing first at them and then into my face. “Here, put them on again and snap your fingers at Tom.” I raised the velvet obediently, and the gentleman called Tom came softly behind me and took the ends from my trembling fingers, and fastened them himself around my throat again. He first pretended that he had not got them straight. though, and held the velvet a little way from me to try to look at the back of the pendant. But I was prepared for that ; and i put my hand round it. as if fearing it might fall, and would not let him see the initials. After this first experience of the sensa- tion caused by my one ornament, I watched rather curiously its efiect upon the rest of the party, as some of them strolled into the conservatory, and when I met the others in the drawing‘room and in the general gather~ ing at dinner. Every one looked at me, the one stranger, a good deal, of course; but I noticed that. while my pendant attracted the attention of the ladies, the gentlemen looked more at me myself, and were not scandalized by my unlucky ornament. Sir Jonas, who was a kind gray-haired gentle- man, and looked nearly old enough to be Lady Mills' father, took me into dinner ; and. although he did not talk much, be en- couraged me to chatter to him, and tell him all about the school-treat, and tried to make me drink a great deal more wine than I wanted. it was a min?"
