Crosby appeared in Madame Vine's room after breakfast, and gave her an account of Helena's projected marriage. She then apologized, the real object of her visit, for dispensing so summarily with madame's services, but had reason to hope that she could introduce her to another situation. Would madame have any objection to take one in England?
"Is it a time to speak of marriage when two are lying dead in the house?" His countenance changed at the rebuke, and, as all fortunate people do when they have passed the selfish fury of youth, he apologized for success. "It is true. And Reece Zhone was the only man in the Territory whom I feared as a rival. As soon as he is laid low I forget him. He would not so soon forget me.
And Francisco, though not given to cringing, skulked like a beaten dog when the verbal flagellation was finished. Turning then to the Brazilians, McKay formally apologized for the insults to them. "It is nothing, senhor," coolly answered the bowman though his glance at the Peruvians said plainly that it would have been something but for the swift punishment by the Americans.
She held out her hand, but Peters, by long practise wary of women, had burdened himself with breakfast plates which prevented his clasping it. He muttered "How d'ye do?" and fled toward the door, narrowly averting what would have proved a serious collision with the large woman on the way. "Mr. Peters meets so few of your sex in winter," Magee apologized, "you must pardon his clumsiness.
Nolla was straightening a few chairs when he entered. When she turned and saw him, she gasped and put her hand to her chest. "I..." she stammered, "I wasn't expecting... to see... you... there." Justin apologized and muttered something about stopping by. They had met a few times during the last round of school board meetings when the latest draconian cuts had been proposed.
Then he lamely apologized for the trouble he had caused, and tried to thank the women for their kindness. He was shaky when, an hour later, he came down-stairs for breakfast; but otherwise he felt better than for many days; and Blaze's open delight at seeing did him as much good as the food he ate.
Milly apologized for the simple meal, "Hilda isn't much of a cook, and since we've been by ourselves, I have lost interest in doing things." "It ain't the food," Ernestine replied oracularly. It was raining in torrents, and the two women spent the long afternoon in a series of intimate confidences. Milly's greatest gift was the faculty of getting at all sorts of people.
The little house was on a hill, and with the French windows wide open we seemed to hang above an abyss of purple sky, cut by a thin crescent. White candles lighted the table, and there were white lilacs. There was a silver band about Rosalie's red hair. There was not much to eat, and Perry apologized, "Rose hates to fuss with food in hot weather."
Against their wills they were forced to talk about suffrage, although they had serenely announced at the opening of the campaign that it was "not an issue in this campaign." Some merely apologized and explained.
Luigi apologized for him, and was going on to improve his opportunity with an appeal for a moderation of what he called "the prevailing teetotal madness," but persons in the audience began to howl and throw things at him, and then the meeting rose in wrath and chased him home. This episode was a crusher for Angelo in another way. It destroyed his chances with Rowena.
