I felt that it was quite possible, if I chose, to have my revenge through the sweet medium of Winifred Lloyd; yet, though Lady Estelle's somewhat pointed1 defence of Guilfoyle rankled2 in my memory, and Caradoc's hints had added fuel to the flame, I shrunk from such a double game, and hoped that the chances afforded by propinquity in general, and the coming fête in particular, would soon enable me to come to a decision. My mind was full of vague irritation3 against her; yet when I rose in the morning, my one and predominant thought was that I should see her again. Carriages and horses had been ordered from the stable for our conveyance4 to Craigaderyn church, a three miles' drive through lovely scenery, and I resolved to accompany the sisters in the barouche, leaving whom fate directed to take charge of Lady Estelle; yet great was my contentment when she fell to the care of Sir Madoc in the family carriage. Lady Naseby did not appear, her French soubrette, Mademoiselle Babette Pompon, announcing that she was indisposed. Guilfoyle and Caradoc rode somewhat unwillingly5 together, and I sat opposite Winny, who insisted on driving, and was duly furnished with the smartest of parasol whips--pink, with a white fringe. Quitting the park, we skirted a broad trout6 stream, the steep banks of which were clad with light-green foliage7, and name Nant-y-belan, or the "Martens' dingle." At the bottom the river foamed8 along over broken and abutting9 rocks, or flowed in dark and noiseless pools, where the brown trout lurked10 in the shade, and where the overarching trees and grassy11 knolls12 were reflected downward in the depth.
Hawkesby Guilfoyle sat his horse--one of Sir Madoc's hunters, fully13 sixteen hands high--so well, and looked so handsome and gentlemanly, his riding costume was so complete, even to his silver spurs, well-fitting buff gloves, and riding switch, that I felt regret in the conviction that some cloud hung over the fellow's antecedents, and present life too, perhaps; but with all that I could not forgive him his rivalry14 and, as I deemed it, presumption15, with the strong belief that he was, in his secret heart; my enemy. He and Caradoc rode behind the open carriage; we led the way in the barouche; and a very merry and laughing party we were, as we swept by the base of the green hills of Mynedd Hiraethrog, and over the ancient bridge that spans Llyn Aled, to the church of Craigaderyn, where the entrance of Sir Madoc's family and their visitors caused periodically somewhat of a sensation among the more humble16 parishioners who were there, and were wont17 to regard with a species of respectful awe18 the great square pew, which was lined with purple velvet19, and had a carved-oak table in the centre, and over the principal seat the lion's head erased20, and the shield of Lloyd per bend sinister21, ermine and pean, a lion rampant22, armed with a sword.
With a roof of carved oak, brought from some other place (the invariable account of all such roofs in Wales), and built by Jorwerth ap Davydd Lloyd, in 1320, the church was a picturesque23 old place, where many generations of the Craigaderyn family had worshipped long before and since the Reformation, and whose bones, lapped in lead, and even in coffins24 of stone, lay in the burial vaults25 below. The oaken pews were high and deep, and were covered with dates, coats-of-arms, and quaint26 monograms27. In some places the white slabs28 indicated where lay the remains29 of those who died but yesterday. Elsewhere, with helmet, spurs, and gloves of steel hung above their stony30 effigies31, and covered by cobwebs and dust, lay the men of ages past and gone, their brasses33 and pedestal tombs bearing, in some instances, how stoutly34 and valiantly35 they had fought against the Spaniard, the Frenchman, and the Scot. One, Sir Madoc ap Meredyth Lloyd, whose sword hung immediately over my head, had wielded36 it, as his brass32 recorded, "contra Scotos apud Flodden et Musselboro;" and now the spiders were busy spinning their cobwebs over the rusted37 helmet through which this old Welsh knight38 had seen King James's host defile39 by the silver Till, and that of his fated granddaughter by the banks of the beautiful Esk. In other places I saw the more humble, but curious Welsh mode of commemorating40 the dead, by hanging up a coffin-plate, inscribed41 with their names, in the pews where they were wont to sit. Coats-of-arms met the eye on all sides--solid evidences of birth and family, which more than once evoked42 a covert43 sneer44 from Guilfoyle, who to his other bad qualities added the pride and the envy of such things, that seem inseparable from the character of the parvenu45. There were two services in Craigaderyn church each Sunday, one in Welsh, the other in English. Sir Madoc usually attended the former; but in courtesy to Lady Estelle, he had come to the latter to-day.
Over all the details of the village fane my eyes wandered from time to time, always to rest on the face of Estelle Cressingham or of Winifred Lloyd, who was beside me, and who on this day, as I had accompanied her, seemed to feel that she had me all to herself. We read off the same book, as we had done years before in the same pew and place; ever and anon our gloved fingers touched; I felt her silk dress rustling47 against me; her long lashes48 and snowy lids, with the soft pale beauty of her downcast face, and her sweetly curved mouth, were all most pleasing and attractive; but the sense of Estelle's presence rendered me invulnerable to all but her; and my eyes could not but roam to where she stood or knelt by the side of burly Sir Madoc, her fine face downcast too in the soft light that stole between the deep mullions and twisted tracery of an ancient stained-glass window, her noble and equally pure profile half seen and half hidden by a short veil of black lace; her rounded chin and lips rich in colour, and beautiful in character as those of one of Greuze's loveliest masterpieces. There, too, were the rich brightness of her hair, and the proud grace that pervaded49 all her actions, and even her stillness.
Thus, even when I did not look towards her, but in Winifred's face, or on the book we mutually held, and mechanically affected50 to read, a perception, a dreamy sense of Estelle's presence was about me, and I could not help reverting51 to our past season in London, and all that has been described by a writer as those "first sweet hours of communion, when strangers glide52 into friends; that hour which, either in friendship or in love, is as the bloom to the fruit, as the daybreak to the day, indefinable, magical, and fleeting53;" the hours which saw me presented as a friend, and left me a lover. The day was intensely hot, and inside the old church, though some of the arched recesses54 and ancient tombs looked cool enough, there was a blaze of sunshine, that fell in hazy55 flakes56 or streams of coloured light athwart the bowed heads of the congregation. With heat and languor57, there was also the buzz of insect life; and amid the monotonous58 tones of the preacher I loved to fancy him reading the marriage service for us--that is, for Estelle and myself--fancied it as an enthusiastic school-girl might have done; and yet how was it that, amid these conceits59, the face and form of Winifred Lloyd, with her pretty hand in the tight straw-coloured kid glove, that touched mine, filled up the eye of the mind? Was I dreaming, or only about to sleep, like so many of the congregation--those toilers afield, those hardy60 hewers of wood and drawers of water, whose strong sinews, when unbraced, induced them to slumber61 now--the men especially, as the study of each other's toilets served to keep the female portion fully awake. When the clergyman prayed for the success of our arms in the strife62 that was to come, Winifred's dark eyes looked into mine for a moment, quick as light, and I saw her bosom63 swell64; and when he prayed, "Give peace in our time, O Lord," her voice became earnest and tremulous in responding; and I could have sworn that I saw a tear oozing65, but arrested, on the thick black eyelash of this impulsive66 Welsh girl, whom this part of the service, by its association and the time, seemed to move; but Lady Estelle was wholly intent on having one of her gloves buttoned by Guilfoyle, whose attendance she doubtless preferred to that of old Sir Madoc.
"Look!" said Winifred Lloyd, in an excited whisper, as she lightly touched my hand.
I followed the direction of her eye, and saw, seated at the end of the central aisle67, modestly and humbly68, among the free places reserved for the poor, a young woman, whose appearance was singularly interesting. Poorly, or rather plainly, attired69 in faded black, her face was remarkably70 handsome; and her whole air was perfectly71 ladylike. She was as pale as death, with a wild wan46 look in all her features; disease, or sorrow, or penury--perhaps all these together--had marked her as their own; her eyes, of clear, bright, and most expressive72 gray, were haggard and hollow, with dark circles under them. Black kid gloves showed her pretensions73 to neatness and gentility; but as they were frayed74 and worn, she strove to conceal75 her hands nervously76 under her gathered shawl.
"She is looking at you, Winifred," said Dora.
"No--at Estelle."
"At us all, I think," resumed Dora, in the same whispered tone; "and she has done so for some time past. Heavens! she seems quite like a spectre."
"Poor creature!" said Winifred; "we must inquire about her."
"Do you know her, Mr. Hardinge?" asked Dora.
"Nay77, not I; it is Mr. Guilfoyle she is looking at," said I.
Guilfoyle, having achieved the somewhat protracted78 operation of buttoning Lady Estelle's lavender kid glove, now stuck his glass in his eye, and turned leisurely79 and languidly in the direction that attracted us all, just as the service was closing; but the pale woman quickly drew down her veil, and quitted the church abruptly80, ere he could see her, as I thought; and this circumstance, though I took no heed81 of it then, I remembered in the time to come.
Winifred frankly82 took my arm as we left the church.
"You promised to come with me after luncheon83 and see the goat I have for the regiment," said she.
"Did I?--ah, yes--shall be most happy, I'm sure," said I, shamefully84 oblivious85 of the promise in question, as we proceeded towards the carriages, the people making way for us on all sides, the women curtseying and the men uncovering to Sir Madoc, who was a universal favourite, especially with the maternal86 portion of the parish, as he was very fond of children and flattered himself not a little on his power of getting on with them, being wont to stop mothers on the road or in the village street, and make knowing remarks on the beauty, the complexions87, or the curly heads of their offspring while he was never without a handful of copper88 or loose silver for general distribution; and now it excited some surprise and even secret disdain89 in Guilfoyle--a little petulance90 in Lady Estelle too--to find him shaking hands and speaking in gutteral Welsh with some of the men cottagers, or peasant-women with jackets and tall odd hats. But one anecdote91 will suffice to show the character of Sir Madoc.
In the very summer of my visit, it had occurred that he had to serve on a jury when a property of some three thousand pounds or so was at issue; and when the jury retired92, he found that they were determined93 to decide in such manner as he did not deem equitable94, and which in the end would inevitably95 ruin an honest farmer named Evan Rhuddlan, father of a sergeant96 in my company of Welsh Fusileers, who dwelt at a place called Craig Eryri, or "the Rock of Eagles." Finding that they were resolute97, he submitted, or affected to acquiesce98 in their decision; but on announcing it to the court he handed the losing party a cheque on Coutts and Co. for the whole sum in litigation, and became more than ever the idol99 of the country people.
"Romantic old place--casques, cobwebs, and all that sort of thing," said Guilfoyle, as he handed Lady Estelle into the carriage, and took the bridle100 of his horse from Bob Spurrit, the groom101; "I thought Burke had written the epitaph of chivalry102 and all belonging to it."
"Yes, but romance still exists, Mr. Guilfoyle," said Winifred, whose face was bright with smiles.
"And love too, eh, Estelle?" added Dora, laughing.
"Even in the region of Mayfair, you think?" said she.
"Yes; and wherever there is beauty, that is rarest," said I.
But she only replied by one of her calm smiles; for she had a reticence103 of manner which there seemed to be no means of moving.
"Talking of love and romance, I should like to know more of that pale woman we saw in church to-day," said Dora.
"Why so?" asked Guilfoyle, curtly104.
"Because I saw she must have some terrible story to tell.--What was the text, Mr. Caradoc?" she asked, as we departed homewards.
"Haven't the ghost of an idea," replied Phil.
"O fie!--or the subject?"
"No," said Caradoc, reddening a little; for he had been intent during the whole service on Winifred Lloyd.
"It was all about Jacob's ladder, of which we have had a most inaccurate105 notion hitherto," said Dora, as we drove down the long lime avenue, to find that, as the day was so sultry, luncheon had been laid for us by Owen Gwyllim under the grand old trees in the lawn, about thirty yards from the entrance-hall, under the very oak where the spectre of Sir Jorwerth Du was alleged106 to vanish, the oak of Owen Glendower; and where that doughty107 Cymbrian had perhaps sought to summon spirits from the vasty deep, we found spirits of another kind--brandy and seltzer, clicquot and sparkling moselle cooling in silver ice-pails on the greensward; and there too, awaiting us, sat Lady Naseby, smiling and fanning herself under the umbrageous108 shadows of the chase.
Over her stately head was pinned a fall of rich Maltese lace, that hung in lappets on each side--a kind of demi-toilette that well became her lingering beauty and matronly appearance.
In a mother-of-pearl basket by her side, and placed on the luncheon-table, lay Tiny, her shock, a diminutive109 cur, white as snow, spotless as Mademoiselle Babette with perfumed soap could make it, its long woolly hair dangling110 over its pink eyes, giving it, as Sir Madoc said, "a most pitiable appearance;" for with all his love of dogs, he disliked such pampered111, waddling112, and wheezing113 pets as this, and thought manhood never looked so utterly114 contemptible115 as when a tall "Jeames" in livery, with whiskers and calves116, cane117 and nosegay, had the custody118 of such a quadruped, while his lady shopped in Regent-street or Piccadilly.
