F. “What happened to your parents, Lucy? Is it all
right if I ask?”
Lucy looked at her with a soft gaze. Whence she came,—who she was,—and what she wanted,—were questions
which naturally suggested themselves to Blueskin, and he was about to seek for
some explanation, when his curiosity was checked by a gesture of silence from
the lady. ‘You know about that?’
‘It was the only possible deduction. She had looked forward to an explanation. ’
Too late he saw his error. His mirth, however, received an unpleasant check; for
Abraham, greatly incensed by his previous conduct, caught him by the legs, and
pushed him with such violence into the hole that the point of the spike, which he
had placed in his pocket, found its way through his clothes to the flesh, inflicting
a slight, but painful wound. “This is my way back to my
side of the Park,” she said. Wild, however, proved, on the evidence of his own
servants, that he was at the Old Bailey at the time; and Sir Rowland proved that
he was in Manchester. But she no longer obsessed over
heresy, no longer did she feel cursed by God. There he sat, cheerfully friendly in his sex’s freedom—the
man she loved, the one man she cared should unlock the way to the wide world
for her imprisoned feminine possibilities, and he seemed regardless that she
stifled under his eyes; he made a jest of all this passionate insurgence of the
souls of women against the fate of their conditions. ’
‘What about the lad?’ said the captain suddenly.
