The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram told him, also hurriedly, about his intervening adventures.

The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “In that case Wagram would be safe,” he said. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “There is Wagram,” went on the Squire as a step and a whistled bar or two sounded outside; and then the door opened. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z She was staying at Haldane’s, and had cycled over that morning in response to a note from Wagram asking her to come and look at some old musical manuscripts he had unearthed in his library.

The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Reggie’s just as bad, Mr Wagram,” struck in Yvonne, who deemed it her mission to “round up” her brother in matters of the kind. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Oh, well, as it’s the beginning of the holidays, I suppose they must be allowed some law,” rejoined Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “They are threatening to take us all down to the west park presently, Miss Calmour,” said Wagram soon after lunch. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And, indeed, the stranger seemed to have taken Wagram literally at his word, for he had climbed up again to his former position, and was placidly puffing at a pipe.

The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z She had hoped, in her ignorance, that Wagram would have accepted the post of instructor. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And what sort of a fellow did this shipwrecked mariner strike you as being, Wagram?” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z A servant appearing, the whisky was ordered and brought, Grantley Wagram the while uneasily hoping that it would not have the effect of making his unwelcome visitor uproarious. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Well, now, I know exactly where to put my finger on him, and when Wagram has to pack, why, then, the other one—Everard—comes in. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z For answer Wagram only shook his head, and moved unsteadily to the open window, where he stood, looking out. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram took the certificate and examined it earnestly. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Two things struck her as Yvonne handed her the score: one, that the choir was in less strength than usual; the other, that Wagram was at the organ. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Develin Hunt produced the cheque, intending to keep a firm hold of it while the other scanned its contents; but, marvellous to relate, he actually and deliberately placed it in Wagram’s outstretched hand. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z But Wagram had something further in his mind than merely seeing an exceedingly unwelcome visitor off the premises. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Here the other, with a half-knowing leer—for, of course, she had at once decided that this meeting was no accidental one—opened on Wagram with the stock professional whine. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z In his then frame of mind the words were startling to Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Take the organ for this,” whispered Wagram just before the offertory. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Is that ill luck?” said Wagram, with a smile. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “The world is very full of prize idiots, Mr Wagram,” observed the captain when the bulk of the passengers had gone out, including the lady at his right. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “By Jove, but Wagram is a good chap!” exclaimed Clytie one day with characteristic outspokenness. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram glanced at them with some disgust but no great awe. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Suddenly Wagram, chancing to look round, became aware of the propinquity of a stranger. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z In the man’s very ferocity of roughness Wagram’s ear had not been slow to detect a refined accent of speech. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram was duly impressed; yet he need not have been, for the stranger’s real motive was a very different one. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z A wooden native stool did duty as a desk, and Wagram, squatted on the floor, proceeded to affix his signature: “Wagram Gerard Wagram.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z He had got at Everard’s history, and now rejoiced that another Wagram—the reigning one—had fallen into his hands. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z So this egregious young pup stood in the relationship of brother to the exceedingly pretty and even refined-looking girl he had seen with Wagram and his party in Hilversea park some Sundays ago! The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram awoke, feeling strangely strong and well, considering all he had gone through. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Soon a hum of voices greeted Wagram’s ears, and at the same time a horrible acrid odour assailed his nostrils. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z A few visiting cards and the notes Wagram had mentioned were all it contained. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Well, of course, it does,” answered Wagram, realising that the man was going through a sort of paroxysm of blind, well-nigh delirious rage. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z It is between myself and your father, and reflects discredit upon nobody named Wagram—take my word for that.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Something of the martyr’s resolution shone in Wagram’s face. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Often Wagram had found himself wondering as to the other’s motive in sticking to him thus closely. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Thanks,” said Wagram, again with that dry, wan smile, as he made a note or two in a pocket-book. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “But—Wagram, you will never be so mad as to try?” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram’s face had gone livid and his tall form seemed to sway. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z This is no conscious wrong I have done you, Wagram—God knows. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “You are a magistrate, are you not, Mr Wagram?” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “But—walking under a ladder is unlucky sometimes, Mr Wagram.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Mr Wagram, I am dreadfully frightened,” said Mrs Colville, to whose wants he had been attending. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram was about to reply, but did not. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I know it has,” said Wagram calmly, finishing off his glass; “I’m waiting for Mrs Colville.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z That shriek had the effect upon Wagram of the lash on a racehorse. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The first feeling produced in Wagram by the sight was one of intense thankfulness, and yet his position was still desperate enough in all conscience. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Who would have thought of the ghastly canker which lay behind Wagram’s easy gaiety? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram Wagram, you might have torn up that cheque when I put it into your hand, as the Squire there advised you, though I know he was speaking without thought when he did. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Then Wagram had gone, announcing his departure suddenly; and the only mitigating gleam of sunshine which flashed into Delia’s life was on occasions when she was over at the Haldanes and they talked about him. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Cool and shady, however, and altogether inviting it looked, and Wagram made up his mind to penetrate it, though not to any great depth. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z In his place of concealment Wagram was no more than a dozen yards from the new-comer, whose every movement and every expression he could distinguish. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram looked his persecutor steadily in the face. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “You know, this man has just been telling me where I can find Everard,” said Wagram when he had done. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Sometimes while they were resting Wagram would endeavour to instruct his companion by making drawings on the ground with a bit of stick, but hardly any of them were understood. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And yet—and yet—as the man came up Wagram could not but realise that his first estimate of him was likely to be the true one, and his hopes sank somewhat. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I don’t know about comfortable; but if it’s a little rough I’ve no cause for complaint,” answered Wagram pleasantly. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The fierce eyes played upon Wagram’s face as though they would penetrate his brain. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z After—” Wagram looked up quickly, but the old man paused. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Why had this devil in human shape laid such stress on getting Gerard into his power, even to the length of torturing him—Wagram—to induce him to send for the boy? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “It’s Mrs Colville,” said Wagram quickly as he handed over his burden. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Yes; that’s my name, and there it is,” answered Wagram firmly, yet not without a dire foreboding over the extraordinary effect it seemed to produce. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Thinking it best to humour him Wagram did not hesitate. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I have left nothing to chance, Wagram,” went on the Squire. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z A tall black fiend armed with a great curved knife had stepped to the side of the victim, whose agonised, livid, terror-stricken face was sufficient to haunt Wagram to his dying day. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Give me your promise that he shall be spared,” cried Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z There was no great eagerness in Wagram’s mind to dispute this statement. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram felt a slash upon his throat, and the blood flowed. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z But, Mr Wagram, you are forgetting the African animals. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z All this was explained to Wagram in less time than it has taken us to set it down, and then the whole force moved stealthily forward to take up its prearranged position. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z While waiting for the signal to begin, the comic element of the situation came home to Wagram’s mind, and that comic element struck him suddenly as very comic indeed. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I don’t want much at present, thanks,” answered Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Decidedly Wagram’s train of thought was strange that morning. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram was in a state of covert amusement, for he knew that his father was not forgetting his former dictum. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Mind you ask for anything you want, Mr Wagram, for I conclude you’ve come aboard in a state of temporary and complete destitution.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I must not monopolise you all day, and every day, like this, child,” Wagram had said to her. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The last sight of a man like Wagram’s a sight better than any parson. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z In the result, about three quarters of an hour saw him in possession of Wagram’s pocket-book. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Now, Miss Calmour, which shall we take first—the animals or the chapel?” said Wagram as they rose from table. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “However, the confusion of the identity of the two particular parties is not inexcusable,” pronounced Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z But the scenes of butchery and bloodshed oppressed Wagram’s senses no longer. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z She had saved Wagram’s life—as surely as any life ever had been saved—she and she alone. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z I’m only telling Delia how to get five hundred damages out of Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “We shall have a splashy ride back, I’m afraid,” said Wagram as they regained the road. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Well, then, what about this other one?” pursued Wagram mischievously. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “No; I don’t think so either,” assented Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Laughed—in his bright, genial, humorous way, and yet all the time he was thinking how Wagram was, figuratively speaking, cracking jokes over his own open grave. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Certainly,” answered Wagram; “only we must get hold of Father Gayle for that, because he has got the keys of all the best things.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram couldn’t play and sing at the same time, and the same held good of Yvonne, while Haldane couldn’t play at all. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And Grantley Wagram leaned back in his chair, as if there were no more to be said. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z By the way, Mr Wagram, I enjoyed hearing how you thrashed a cad for insulting her.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I most heartily agree,” said Delia, and again that curious gleam passed across Wagram’s face. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z It was a small thing, but somehow it seemed to Wagram to argue an uncommon thoughtfulness and delicacy of mind on the part of this girl—this daughter of a drunken, blackmailing, old ex-army vet. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The adventurer stood stock still and stared at Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Yvonne, I’m surprised at you,” said Wagram, with somewhat of an approach to sternness. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram had ably and whole-heartedly seconded him, and would continue to do so after his time. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Why didn’t you go and serve Mass, you scamps?” went on Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram opened a gate noiselessly, and with equally noiseless tread moved along one of the “rides” of a wood. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “In that case you ‘might easily be tempted’ to turn this other knowledge to further account as regards ourselves,” said Wagram, with a dry, wan smile. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Yet with all these attractions Wagram decided that she was just not quite in the same social scale. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Oh, but, Mr Wagram, I’m sure you must be hurt,” she broke in, as he rose from dusting down her bicycle skirt—she had sustained wonderfully little damage, even outwardly, from her fall. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The priest reached down for the half-smoked pipe he had let fall, relit it, and listened as Wagram gave him the narrative, concise to baldness. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Who was the girl?” he said, when Wagram had done. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Facing round to return to the house the sight of the latter met Wagram as with a blow. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram, in his opinion, was very much above the average, yet he did not want to foresee any entanglement or complication that could not but be disastrous—absolutely and irrevocably disastrous. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Well, Wagram, and what have you been doing with yourself?” he said, as they passed into a gem of a panelled room looking out upon a lovely picture of smooth sward and feathery elms. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And Wagram thought to detect a subtle grin drooping the corners of the man’s well-trained mouth as he filled the Squire’s glass. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The answer, no name having been mentioned, of course conveyed no information to Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Further, he had observed that, if possible, Wagram held that conviction rather more firmly than his father. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Then Wagram told the story, told it graphically, too. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I sent him at once to see,” answered Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I can hardly think she’d be a party to anything of that sort,” rejoined Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z She was by no means deficient in assurance and self-esteem, yet that day in the presence of Wagram she had felt inferior. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z There now, Mr Wagram, look at that!” she exclaimed. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Because these Wagrams are tip-top swells—regular high flyers. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Oh, Mr Wagram, what a lovely machine it is!” she began. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Oh, and, Mr Wagram, if you should know of anybody who wants anything done in that line you might mention me. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram, as in duty bound, declared that the pleasure would be mutual. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Are you a fatalist, Mr Wagram?” she said. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Tell me, Mr Wagram, who was that lovely girl who carried one of the banners? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z It was even as Wagram had said, the lay element was represented on the lawn, as a fair sprinkling of sunshades and vari-coloured light summer dresses and hats bore token. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I should think not,” assented Wagram, who ran her father very close in his admiration for the beautiful child. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram had disappeared for some time, and the groups on the lawn were thinning out fast. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z It came in full contact with the forehead of the frenzied woman, and sent her stunned into Wagram’s arms. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Old Calmour was very ‘sky blue’ that day I called there,” said Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram or Haldane?” and withdrew it in a hurry lest a well-aimed missile might considerably damage it—for of such were the ways of Siege House. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And it would be a dashed sight more than a cool thou, this time, for the Wagrams are Croesus compared with the Vances.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Then reading: “‘Madam,—you have been mentioned to me by Mr Wagram Wagram—’ Ah, that’s all right.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z But Wagram’s answer was to make a dart for the companion-way. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Giving him one final, pitiless, cutting “swish” as he rolled over, Wagram ceased. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Don’t be angry with me, Mr Wagram,” she answered, and the sweet, fearless blue eyes were wet as she slipped her hand pleadingly through his arm; “I’m so sorry.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z I’ve made you a nice cup of tea, too, Mr Wagram, sir. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “What’s this my little girl has been telling me, Wagram?” he said. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z It, like the rest of the metal, was red with rust; but now, as Wagram stood staring at it, he thought he must be dreaming. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “That’s the worst part of it,” said Wagram with some bitterness. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z The paragraph went on to a little more detail, mainly conjectural, but of this Grantley Wagram took no heed. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram, tell Rundle to get us out a bottle or so of that dry, sparkling hock. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Then Rundle, having appeared in response to a ring, Wagram proceeded to direct him accordingly. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z I should think everybody who knew Mr Wagram would wish that. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Now, snap them again,” whispered Wagram; “you’ll never get a better chance.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Oh, Mr Wagram, how can I thank you enough? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Good-bye, Mr Wagram,” putting forth her hand with a bright smile. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z She longed for an opportunity of having a little talk with Wagram, if it were only for a few minutes. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Why, don’t you see what it says: ‘Provided you can obtain the permission of Mr Grantley Wagram’? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z But, Mr Wagram, who is the priest who seemed to do all the principal part? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “You wouldn’t think it to look at her,” said Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram doesn’t come far behind me in that line, and the Squire too.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Did you get them yourself?” said Wagram, who liked to tease her occasionally. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Are you afraid of thunder?” asked Wagram, with a smile. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Wagram’s blood thrilled as already he foresaw a tragedy. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Even while thinking, Wagram was at the same time acting, for he had rushed forward and literally torn himself through a high thick hedge which interposed between himself and what was transpiring. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z He was a man about Wagram’s own age, or a shade older, a cultured man, and possessed of a fund of strong practical common sense, together with a keen sense of humour. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z For, as it happened, he had heard rather more about Delia Calmour and her powers of attractiveness than Wagram had; moreover, he knew that men, even those above the average, were very human. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Mr Wagram, there is something I would like to talk to you about,” began the girl, rather constrainedly, after a quite unwonted interval of silence—for her. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z While hurriedly dressing for dinner Wagram’s mind reverted to the recent adventure. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Likewise refreshment, and while in process of procuring some for his charge Wagram felt a pull at his sleeve. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z He prided himself upon his knowledge of character, too, and watching Delia closely was inclined to endorse Wagram’s opinion. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Well now, Mr Wagram, I don’t know when I have enjoyed myself so much. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Grantley Wagram drew a long breath as he straightened himself up in his chair; his face lightened. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z When Wagram returned to the house with the farmer he found that Yvonne, tired of waiting, had strolled off down the road, intending to pick wild flowers, or otherwise amuse herself. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z No; great as the offence was, even I think he got something like adequate compensation for it,” added Wagram grimly, as he called to mind the fellow’s insults—and their object. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “How you must venerate this place, Mr Wagram.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Then the priest said: “By the way, Squire, that’s a most astonishing thing Wagram has been telling me about that Miss Calmour and the claim made against you.” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z By the way—er—I suppose Mrs Wagram never informed you where it had taken place?” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Yes; I told Father Gayle because he seemed to have rather a—well, unexalted opinion of the poor girl when we first talked about her,” explained Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Why not chuck her in the river for a swim?” said Wagram mischievously. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Is it a joke, Wagram?” repeated the old Squire. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Well, there you have me, father, I admit,” answered Wagram. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Think of your son, Squire—Wagram, I mean—I have seen him more than once, not always when he has seen me. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z No wonder Wagram’s demeanour had been what it had when the girl to whom he had shown kindness had revealed herself as a mere blackmailing adventuress—a gainer of money under false pretences.

The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z Laughed—as Wagram, sitting there in his blissful ignorance, was laughing. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Not my name?” repeated Wagram in a strange voice. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z They talked on of various matters—the prospects of grouse on the Twelfth, and when Wagram’s boy would be home for the holidays, and so forth. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Tell me, Mr Wagram, don’t you sometimes find life too good to be real?” The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “I think they very likely will,” said Wagram, with a twinkle in his eyes that escaped his friend. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And, Wagram, if you distrust my advice as possibly too interested, why not take other advice? The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z “Are you—trying—to make me believe, then, that you are, my father?” said Wagram in a dry, hardly articulate kind of voice. The Red Derelict 2011-07-05T02:00:30.143Z And now, Wagram, all this has exhausted me more than I can say.
