I met him myself this morning after breakfast near the gates, and he confessed he had been there already early. I expect he came to reconnoitre and take back the news. Rather calm, for one of father's own men! But that's the new spirit, Dezzy. We're not going to be allowed to have it all our own way any more. Well, thank goodness, I don't mind. At least, there is something in me that minds.
'MY DEAR DEZZY There are such queer things going on in this queer house! Yesterday Broomie gave warning, and father barricaded the park gates, and was perfectly mad, and determined not to listen to anybody.
She is splendid in some things yes, she is! And the Rectory people take the most rose-coloured view of her it's too late to tell you why, for the postman is just coming. 'Good-bye, Dezzy dear Dezzy! I know how glad you'll be about the gates. Write to me as often as you can. By the way, Miss Bremerton has got a brother in the war with General Maude. That ought to make me like her.
The boy bared his foot obediently, and held it out while Pamela tried on a sock she had just finished knitting on a new pattern. 'I'm not very good at it, sighed Pamela. 'Are you sure you can wear them, Dezzy? 'Wear them? Ripping! said the boy, surveying his foot at different angles. 'But you know, Pam, I can't take half the things you want me to take.
He told me, the day after Desmond died, that Dezzy had said something to him that had given him courage "courage to go on," I think he said. I didn't ask him what he meant, and he didn't tell me. But I am sure he has told Beryl, and either that or something else has made her more confident in herself and about him. They are to be married quite soon.
Paralysis in the lower limbs was increasing, but the brain was clear, and the suffering less. He smiled at her, after the painful swallowing was over. 'Why! you're so like mother, Pamela! He was thinking of the picture in the 'den. She raised his hand, and kissed it determined to be brave, not to break down. 'Where's Broomie? he whispered. 'She'd like to come and see you, Dezzy. Dezzy, darling!
'Stop what? You dear, foolish old man! You can't stop it, Dezzy. 'Well, if she'll only make him happy ! 'Oh, she'll be quite decent to him, said Pamela, with a shrug, 'but she'll despise him! 'What the deuce do you mean, Pam?
She thinks that Miss B. is just the new woman, who wants to do things, and isn't always thinking about getting married. Well, Dezzy, old boy I don't know what to think. I'll keep my eyes open, and report to you. I don't altogether like her. No, I don't that's flat. I wish, on the whole, she'd taken her departure! And yet I feel rather a toad for saying so.
