----?--o0'DOROTHY LINEAL"…
?- o 0 'DOROTHY LINEAL" I A NOVEL. -? CHAPTER XII. (Ocntnued.) "It is a. dear old house—isn't it •' said Kancy. She had done most of the talking during the walk from Fordbam, and had seemed in the gayest of spirits, but she had grown silent after they entered the woods, T-nd ber voice had a little catch in it as she made the re- mark about the house. But Dolly aid not notice any change in her manner. "Yes—it is a beautiful place," she answered, dreamily. "Are you sure we can go over it ?" "Oh, yes! The housekeeper is a dear little "woman; and, anyway, you couldn't' be re- fused, you know, Miss Lineal." 'It is your sister's house," said Dolly, rather coldly. "Well, it's just the same—isn't it?" re- joined Nancy, lightly. "You and she will be settled here next year, I suppose. It's funny to think of that." Dolly did not reply to this remark. "Where is the Rectory?" she asked. "Didn't you say it was near the house "It is on the other side of that little fir- wood," was the reply—"that wood behind the house." "They will be our nearest neighbours, I suppoae 1" "Yes. You are glad of that-aren't you? I could see how much you liked Flossie. But she's going to be married next year. He was the curate here; but found the work too easy. And now he's happy, slaving away in some dreadful East End quarter of London, on the wages many working-men would scorn. But Flossie seems eager enough to join him." "He must be a noble tellow said Dorothy, emphatically. Nancy's blue eyes expressed1 some amuse- ment. "So everybody seems to think. You'll be adored at the Rectory, Miss Lineal, if you express yourself so strongly on the subject of Flossie's fiance-I can't be so enthusiastic my- self. But there's the old lady opening the door for us. Isn't she a perfect picture of an old woman? You and Bessy mustn't let her go. She makes the house complete." The old housekeeper welcomed them with smiling curtsies, repeated with mere empresse- ment when site beard from Nancy who her companion was. Nancy did not enter the house. "Mrs. Smith will take you through the rooms, Miss Lineal," she said. "I will wait for you here, if you don't mind. It's ridi- I culous to feel like it, but I'm rather tired." Three wide, shallow steps led up to the square doorway, and Nancy seated herself on —a—a————— ■ siw^ai — the top one. When Dolly and the house- keeper came b<1ck she was still sitting there, just in the position in which they had left her, with her little hands tight:/ folded to- gether on her lap. She jumped up when Dorothy was close to her. "Well?" she questioned, soii'iingly. "it's just what I thought it-it's perfect!" said Dolly, drawing a deep breath. Then she added quickly, "You don't feel faint, do you, Nancy? You're so pale!' With a laugh Nancy put up her hands, and pinched her cheeks. "We walked so fast! I'm not a good walker. I like driving better. But I'm not in the least inclined to faint, thank you." "You look very pale, Dolly said. "But what a wonderful old house this is! Airs. Smith his taken me all over it. And this is almost the best part! As she spoke, she stepped back into the hall, and looked about her. It was a square, oak-panelled hall, not too large for a sitting- room, and was evidently used as such. Warm-hued Indian rugs lay upon the polished oak floor, and the oak panels were brightened by pictures, most of them family portraits of the Olydes—Elizabethan gallants in ruff and gay trunk-hose, Stuart cavaliers with long curls and pointed beards. The house had ceased to belong to the Clyde family in the time of the Georges, but the old portraits had been pf;verently kept in their places. As Dorothy stepped back from the door- way, Mrs. Smith's eyes followed her admir- ingly. s a sweet-booking young lady—isn't she, miss?" she said, in a Jow tone to Nancy. "Too delicate-iike to be a beauty; but I never saw a prettier figure—that slim and graceful." "1 knew you'd be charmed with her," that yuung lady affirmed. Then, in a louder tone, she said, "Miss Lineal, you look as if you belonged of right to this place—as if you'd been born here, and lived here all your life —doesn't she, Mrs. Smith?" And, indeed, as Dolly stood there in the middle of the hall, in her black dress, with her delicate profile, and the warm radiance of her hair showing beneath the wide hat she wore that afternoon, she looked in per- fect keeping with the place. Nancy's words made her colour, and come back hastily to the door. "1 didn't mean to pose," she declared, abruptly. But, as they crossed the little pine-wood between the slanting bars of sun- shine, she said something to Nancy of what ,e she had been feeling all the afternoon. "It's like coming home to come here," she remarked. "Do you believe in presentiments, Miss Rey- nolds?" "You called !ce 'Nancy' just now," said Miss Reynolds. She was walking lightly along by her companion's side, not at all tired now, to judge by her buoyant step. And her face was turned towards Dorothy, as if she was eagerly attending to all she said. "Well. Nancy, then, if you will let me," said Dolly. "But there must be an end of 'Miss Lineal' too." She was speaking play- fullv, speaking as it would have been im- possible for her to speak a few days before. "I feel as if I was going to be happy here. It is such a, dear, homelike place!" CHAPTER XIII. Mr. Reynolds arrived at the Rectory before Dolly and Nancy. He had declined to go with them to view the house. His first visit there should be when Dorothy and her step- mother were in possession, he laughingly told Dolly. But his real reason for not accom- panying them was a very different one. He wanted to have a little talk with Tom and his people before Nanuj&nv them. The news that awaited him at the Rectory grati- fied him exceedingly- "I congratulate you, my dear fellow," he said., laying luis hand affectionately upon Tom's shoulder. "There's nothing like seeing said., laying luis hand affectionately upon Tom's shoulder. "There's nothing like seeing a bit of the world when you're young. And what is a year, Mrs. Jowett? It will pass I before you are aware of it. And we shall bo welcoming back this dear boy, and wonder- ing how he can have learned and done so much in so short a time." Tom had moved away beyond the reach of Tom had moved away beyond the reach of Mr. Reynolds's hand. "A year is a year- he remarked, gloomiiy enough. "But it will soon pass, as you say, sir. And I don't expect to meet with many thrilling adventures oa a Manitoba farm." "Ah, you don't know what you'll meet with. or "whom!" said Mr. Reynolds, gaily. Leaning back in his chair, with one hand thrust into his pocket, he looked the very embodiment of contentment. "That's the charm of being young, my boy—young and Iree, your story yet to be written. You're a lucky young dog. if you only knew it." "I wish lie could have stayed in England." sighed Mrs. Jowett, from her warm corner bv the lire. "But his father thinks it is a good thing for him; and I m afraid it's true that teaching isn:t good for his health. He has become quite pale fhin. Don't you see it, Mr. Reynolds? But it's hard to part with, I one's children, even for a time—isn't it? You and Mrs. Reynolds have known what it is; though now you will have Elizabeth back again, quite close to you." "Yes—the young birds will leave their I nests. It's hard to lose them; but we mustn't grumble, Mrs. Jowett. We lost Bessy, and I suppose we shali soon lose merry little Nancy. Dear me, it seems but a day I or two ago that I was buying dolls for her, and now she thinks herself old enough to be married." Tom had taken up I paper-knife from the wa^ closely examining it, as if he ??_ found something remarkable in its apj ear- ance. Flossie had ;onc to the window to watch for the expecued visitors. So Mrs. Jowett was left to reply to Mr. Reynolds's remark. "Well, a little bird has whispered something to me," she said, with a winile. "And is it quite settled, Mr. Reynolds?" "I wonder what is the strictly truthful answer to that question," thought Mr. Rey- nolds, a whimsical smile upon his face. "I am afraid my little girl will be angry with me if 1 say too much. Young ladies like to announce that sort of thing themselves—don't they, Miss Flossie?" "Do they, Mr. Reynolds?" she questioned, turning her bead slightly, but not moving from the window. "Mother, here is Doctor Waiton coming. Shall we go away?" "Oh, no—please do not, my dears Pray, do not move, Mr. Reynolds. It is a friendly call on Dr. Warton's part, for he struck me off the sick list last time. Tom, open the door. It will save the girl all those steps from the workroom, and she lias a lot of mending to-day." Tom was glad to escape from the room and he did not return to it after admitting Doctor Warton. His father was at the church, superintending some repairs to the chancel roof; and Tom walked off thither to join him. "Dear me, Doctor Warton and Reynolds there, my boy I must go home," said the Rector, who loved a gossip above all things. "The fellow has nearly finished. I can leave now. "1H stay," returned Tom. "I believe I know as much about roof mending as you do. da-d. "I dare say you do. But what will your mother say? Come back, Tom. Let her have as much of your society as possible. She's bearing up wonderfully; but she is distressed more than you know about losing you, my boy," 1 The church was a few hundred yard? from the Rectory. The nearest way to it was a little footpath skirting the fir-wood, and entering the Rectory garden at upper end. As the Rector and his son approached I the garden gate, they caught sight of Nancy I and Dolly coming from Clyde House. It was Tom who saw them first. Narc was walk- ing slightly in advance of Dorothy. She had a greyish blue dress on, al:-j her white sailor- hat was bound with a ribbon to match the dress. Tom's heart ^rve a great bound as he saw her. He had leen trying to convince himself that he loved her no longer; but he knew he loved her better than ever as his eye; rested on her for a few seconds, and then turned hastily away. "Well met, my dear called out the cheery voice of the old Rector. "And this is Miss Lineal—isn't it? How do you do, my dear young lady ? I am glad to hear we are going to have you for a neighbour." "Not till next March," said Dolly, giving him her hand with a charming smile. "Not till March? Oh. that's a long way off! I hoped you would be settled here by Christmas. Here's Tom. my boy, been trying to convince us that we sha'n't have time to miss him but even six months seems a long time to me." Tom had shaken hands with the two girls, but had left his father to do the talking. Air. Jowett now moved on with Dorothy. "Tom will like to tell Nancy something about his travels. He's going away. you know—going to Manitoba for a year. That's what I meant by saying six months seemed a very long time. And he'll be gone twice six months. But young folk like to travel. I wouldn't say a word to keep him at home. He 11 settle down all the better afterwards. Now let me show you something of my gar- den. I'm very fond of it. It's a hobby of mine." Nancy did not move from the spot where the Rector had left her. For a second Qr, tvo Tom stood silent by her side. Then he walked to the litt-le wicket-gate and opened it. "We had better go on," he said, coldly. He saw how the colour had left her face at I the news of his sudden departure; he saw how the pretty lips began to quiver. But the sight of her agitation hardened his heart against her. He could have forgiven her for marrying his rival, if he had not behaved she was selling herself for his money. His coldness brought back Nancy's self- control at once. "Yes—we must j, keep them waiting for I tea," she returned. "And I uave not lotch time to waste. We are going to see In ing and Ellen Terry to-night in Macbeth. They are playing at the Winchester Theatre." "Yes. said Tom. Nancy waited for him to go on: but lie said no more. After the curt monosyllable, his lips remained closed, with the :inn "exj cs- sion that so utterly changed the character of his face. She stole a look at him. and her heart began to beat violently, one felt that in another minute she would burst into tears. Anything but that. she thought; and, in a jaunty tone, she said— "Naturally, you don't take much interest in my little trip tc Winchester, when you are starting for- Where was it? New "Ma.nitob?." "Manitoba." I "Oh, that's in the St.a.t..s--isn't it? My geography was always weak, you know." The reference to the old school-room days was toe much for Tom. He slopped in the path, bis bright, dark eyes flashing down at her. was toe much for Tom. He slopped in the path, bis bright, dark eyes flashing down at her. "You wrote to me." he began. And then, round the angle of the high box he-Oge that sheltered the path where they stood together, came Mr. Reynolds, sauntering leisurely along, with the dog at his heels. Tom stopped. "My dear young people, I've been sent to fetch you Nancv. if you want a cul) of tea. I you must hurry. Willcox will be here in a few moments. We didn't know you were off so soon, Tom. or my little girl would have given up Irving. I know. for the sake of a longer talk with you. But perhaps it is just as well. Your own people will be glad to get rid of us." "I shall have to start myself in an hour or two." Tom said. Nancy had not spoken. She did not speak again till they reached the house. She passed into the half first. Tom drew aside to let Mr. Reynolds enter. The Rector was in the hall. Soma rare chrysanthemums, in full bloom, were in the stand by the drawing- room door, and he was pointing them out with great pride to Doctor Warton and Dorothy. "Look here. Reynolds." 1>« said. turning round eagerly. "I fo-g-> to siiow this beauty just now. It's a White Queen, and Dun- combe himself hasn't a finer specimen." Mr. Reynolds went forward smilingly, with' his eve-giass raised. Nancy seized the oppor- tunity. She stepped out into the porch, and faced Tom. "Tom." she saH. But, whatever her speech was to have l>een, whatever appeal she was about to make td him, the words were frozen OIl her lips by the look he gave her. There was no anger in his eyes now. Anger would have given her strength to sjveak. And, as they stood gazing fixedly at each other, while the cold contempt of his look sank into her heart. turning all her love to bitterness, there came the sound of carriage wheels along the Ford- ham road. and Ponto rushed towards the gate, barking furiously. Mrs. Ooard and lier brother had arrived. (To be contiFj £ «l »l I ■JUL 11
