"I have been thinking a long time, I have a little scheme," he said, "and I have been to Washington to see Watling, to talk over it. Well, he thinks much of you. Fowndes and Ripon are good lawyers, but they are not smart like you. See Paret, he says, and he can come down and talk to me. So I ask you to come here. That is why I say you are wise to get home. Honeymoons can wait eh?"
Marjorie fortunately knew nothing of all this, for she was proud to the core, and she would rather have died than let any one but Lucille, of necessity in on it, know anything but that she was spending the most delightful and willing of honeymoons.
"Wall, I bet they had a fust-rate time on that weddin' journey o' theirn," said one of Ben's rougher cronies one day at the end of the narrative; "'t ain't every feller gets the chance o' two honeymoons with the same woman." Old Ben looked at him attentively. "Youngster," said he, "'t ain't strange, I suppose, young's you be, th't ye should look at it that way; but ye're off, crony.
The creature was pretending to take for granted that widows were poor, passée things who had lived their lives and could have no more personal interest in heather moons or honeymoons! Mrs. West grew pale, and was angry with herself for caring. Barrie made her feel faded a "back number." She told herself that if she could not get rid of this girl the first thing to-morrow, she should be ill.
No sign of recognition was there. "Shall we go?" she asked after a pause. He shook his head. "Don't go!" he said simply. "Why not?" asked Hélène, as if his answer meant a great deal to her. "Leipsic is not a a pleasant place for honeymoons," he replied evasively. "That's just what my my father said." She was watching him closely now. The expression on Von Barwig's face was unchanged.
Perhaps, we ought to seek in the metaphysics of love the reasons for the following proposition, which throws the most vivid light on the question of honeymoons and of Red-moons: THEOREM. Man goes from aversion to love; but if he has begun by loving, and afterwards comes to feel aversion, he never returns to love.
And when we got to the house, he got out, and took off his hat and made me a bow and said: 'I'm proud to know you, Larry Moore." I don't believe in wedding functions. I don't believe in honeymoons and particularly I abominate the inhuman custom of giving wedding presents. And this is why: Clara was the fifth poor daughter of a rich man. I was respectably poor but artistic.
"Well," he said, "I was only joking. Don't take it seriously. But it doesn't do any harm to be polite." "I am always polite," she answered a little coldly. Honeymoons, after all, are matters of conjecture, and what proportion of them contain disenchantments will never be known.
You may see here a true image of all honeymoons; this is their history, this is the plain fact and not the cause that underlies it.
You who have been through them are aware what ticklish things honeymoons are, and how much depends on the tactfulness of the more tactful of the two parties. Stephen, thirteen years older than Vera, was the more tactful of the two parties. He had married a beautiful and elegant woman, with vast unexploited capacities for love in her heart. But he had married a capricious woman, and he knew it.
