A FAMILY AFFAIR
BY HUGH CONWAY,
Author of * 'Called Back ” and • ‘Dark B k"
“Nonsense, Beatrice! Frank couldn’t have
written that. Did you?” continued Horace,
more doubtfully, seeing his guest manifested
no horror at the accusation.
“Young ladies should not read The Latter
day," said Frank.
“Anonymous writers should not misquote,”
retorted Beatrice.
“But did you write it, Frank i” asked Her
bert.
The two brothers looked tho picture of anx
iety. Frank laughed.
“Miss Clauson is horribly acute,” he said.
Therefore they all understood that Mr.
Carruthers was tho author of the article in
question, an article which, from tho bold and
origins! views it ventilated, had attracted a
great deal of attention. Horace anu Herbert
looked aghast.
“Frank," said tho former in a solemn
voice, “you must boa radical.”
, “You must,” said Herliert sorrowfully.
Even the respoctabl3 'Whittaker, who had
listened to the conversation, pulled a long
face, and seemed to say to himself “he must
be a radical.” That his masters’ cousin
should so disgrace tho family was very dis
tressing.
“Oh dear, no," said the culprit. “I’m not
—are you, Horace?”
The utter ahsurdity of the question made
them all laugh. Horace and Herbert thanked
Heaven they were not radicals.
“But there are respectable radicals, axe
there not?” asked Frank innocently.
“A few,” said Horace. Sad as the truth
was he was obliged to confess that there were
one or two radicals of his acquaintance whose
social position raised them above considera
tion of their political creed. It was a fault in
what was otherwise a fairly well-organized
world. It was a satisfaction to have Frank’s
word that he was not a radical. They told
him so gravely.
“I fancy Mr. Carruthers is a communist,”
said Beatrice mischievously.
‘ ‘Then my expressed opinion of your shrewd
ness suffers.”
“But what are your views, Frank?” asked
Horace.
“I have none in particular. I am willing
to be guided by the best authorities—your
selves, for instance. Tell me why you hate
radicals so?”
“They are so—so —un-English.”
“Ah. Then I detest thorn. Now you know
what I am. lam English. Are you English,
Horace?”
They told him solemnly they hoped and be
lieved they were English to the backbone;
but they told themselves they were English
men with insular excrescences nibbed off by
foreign travel.
“Yes,” said Frank, “it’s a great thing to be
English. Few peoplo realize what it means.
I do most thoroughly.”
“That’s right,” said Horace. In spite of the
landowner article, ho was growing quite easy
about his guest.
“I would pass a law,” said Frank gravely,
“making it penal for any Englishman to learn
a word of a foreign tongue. Every time an
English child conjugates a French or German
verb he retards the millennium.”
‘ ‘The millennium!” said Beatrice, astonished.
“Yes—my idea of the millennium—which
is when the whole civilized world speaks
English. If wo could only converse in our
own tongue, every nation would be forced to
learn it, and so hasten the happy day.
Wherever tho English language gets a good
footing, it conquers.”
“Os course you sjieak only your own lan
guage?” said Beatrice. She was by now get
tiugspiito interested.
“In n;y ignorance of what was right I
learned one or two others. I am trying to
forget them, but I can’t do so."
“Well, in what other way would you show
your patriotism?" asked Horace, who was
amused.
“I would cling to every bit of foreign land
wo acquired, whether gained by force, fraud,
purchase, or discovery. I wouldn’t think
Whether it paid to keep it or not. It must
benefit the original owners to become Angli
cised ; and whatever place it is, it is sure to'
come in useful somo day.”
“No wonder you hate radicals,’ 1 said Her
bert, approvingly.
“Well, what else?” asked Beatrice. He
had been for the most part addressing his
remarks to her, so she had a right to ask.
“Lots more. But, as wo are all so English,
let mo ask you a question. Doesn’t it some
times jar upon your mind to think that we
are obliged to anoint full-blooded Germans as
our kings and queens! How much English
blood has the prince in his veins?”
That was a very startling question. The
Talberts immediately began to run down
the royal family tree. Frank took a piece of
bread.
“I’ll show you by an illustration,” he said.
“You’ll be frightened. Here’s James the
First,” he pointed to the bread. “Here is his
daughter Sophia,” he cut the bread in half.
“Here’s George tho First, ” he cut tho bread
again. “Here’s George tho Second,” cutting
again. “Here’s George tho Third,” cutting
again. “Here’s Edward, Duke of Kent," cub
ting again. ‘ ‘Here’s the Queen, God bless her I"
cutting again. “Here’s Albert Edward,
heaven preserve him!” He cut the bread for
the last ti ie, and sticking tho tiny morsel
that remained on a fork, gTavely handed it
to Beatrico.
“It’s a mortifying state of things, isn’t it,”
he said, “for those who are so thoroughly
English as ourselves? Don’t you sympathize
with the Jacobites, Miss Clauson!”
“I think you are talking rank treason,”
said Beatrice.. She scarcely knew whether
he was in jest or earnest. Perhaps he didn’t
know himself.
The dinner proper was just over. Whit
taker came in with tho crumb brush and
swept away James I. and his descendants
through the female side. As soon as the
wine was placed on the table the door was
opened nnd little llany trotted into the
room. He was allowed to make his ap
pearance for a few minutes at this time
whenever there was no company. The Tal
berts, remembering their theory, put up
their eye glasses to note the paternal instinct
their gu#st might display.
“Halloo!” he cried, “another pleasant sur
prise.” No doubt he meant to imply that
Miss Clauson’s presence at Hazlewood House
was the first.
“Now, who is this?” he asked a3 the boy
ran to Beatrice’s side. “Will he come to me?
I am really fond of children.”
Tempted by the irresistible bribe of grapes
the boy trotted round the table. Frank
picked him up, kissed him, tickled him,
stroked his golden hair, and admired him
greatly, but showed none of those emotions
which the Talberts imagined they would de
tect. In fact, the way in which he met the
boy removed their base suspicions entirely.
They were glad of this, although it plunged
them tack into darkness. Jhey felt very
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES: MONDAY. MAY 25, 1885.
rriendlily disposed towards their cousin and
were glad to be able to think him as honor
able a man as themselves. Probably they
never really doubted this.
So in reply to his question ns to whoso
child this merry, laughing boy was, they told
him tho history of his appearance, and how
Beatrice had begged that he might be kept at
Hazlewood House.
“I don’t wonder at it,” said Prank. “I
wish somo one would send me an- ther just
like him "
Beatrice gave him a look of gratitude.
Every word that confirmed ter in possession
of the child was welcome to her. She had
not yet looked at Mr. Carruthers in any way
which carried emotion with it. Her glance
leas a revelation. Till then he had no idea oj
r» hat dark gray eyes could express.
iKLJ
Frank pieked him up and kissed him.
She soon left the men, hut to rejoin them
when they took a stroll round the grounds.
Frank was here shown many clever little de
vices by which the Talberts perfected the
out-of-door arrangements. He learned how
they checked the consumption of corn and
hay in tho stables; how they regulated the
amount of coke used for the hothouse. In
deed, as he was quick of comprehension and
in detecting peculiarities of character, ho was
not so very much surprised when, having re
turned to the drawing-room, ho greatly ad
mired a fino piece of knotted lace, to hear
that tho uncompleted piece of work was not
Miss Clauson’s, but wrought by that accom
plished artist, Uncle Herbert.
