[Mistress Wilding by Rafael Sabatini]@TWC D-Link bookMistress Wilding CHAPTER VII 17/24
"Hell and damnation! Step aside, man." Mr.Wilding turned to Lord Gervase, and begged of him to take charge of Mistress Wilding.
"I deplore this interruption," he told her, no whit ruffled by what he had heard.
"But I shall rejoin you soon.
Meanwhile, his lordship will do the honours for me." This last he said with his eyes moving to Lady Horton and her daughter. Lord Gervase, in some surprise, but overruled by his cousin's calm, took the bride on his arm and led her from the churchyard to the waiting carriage.
To this he handed her, and after her her aunt and cousin. Then, mounting himself, they drove away, leaving Wilding and Trenchard among the tombstones, whither the messenger of evil had meanwhile led his friend.
