"Oh, well, she won't go that far," I assured him cheerfully; "and no doubt in a few days, when the first impression of the tragedy has worn off, she will be ready to go to the Royces'. I'll keep suggesting it, and I'm going to have Mrs. Royce call on her." "Thank you, Mr. Lester," he said, but his voice was still shaking. "I this sort of knocks me out I hadn't foreseen it.
He felt that they were discussing his domestic affairs, as, of course, they were. The Royces and the Wheelers, they said, couldn't behave like anybody else, and it was no use their trying. If Claude built the best house in the neighbourhood, he just naturally wouldn't live in it. And if he had a wife at all, it was like him to have a wife in China!
"I don't believe it!" he said flatly. "It's true, Warren. I've known that for years everybody knows it!" "Well," Warren Gregory said stubbornly, "she's making a great hit just the same. She's going up to the Royces' next week for the Bowditch theatricals, and she's asked to the Pinckard dinner dance. She may not go on account of her mourning."
"Don't myself unless you call it pure accident" says Oliver, frankly. "Well, that's it women. Don't think I'm in love but the other thing pulls pretty strong. And I want to get married all right, but what girls I know and like best are in Peter's crowd and most of them own their own Rolls Royces and I won't be earning even a starvation wage for two, inside of three or four years, I suppose.
"Have you seen Miss Vaughan?" "Yes," I answered; for I knew of course that the question was coming. "Well?" "Miss Vaughan refuses to go to the Royces', Swain." There was a moment's silence. "Then where will she go?" "She won't go anywhere." "You don't mean," he cried, panic in his voice, "that she's going to stay out there?" "Yes; she laughed when I mentioned danger.
She had not prayed so long and fervently since the battle of the Marne. Early the next morning Ralph loaded the big car with the presents and baskets of food and ran down to the Royces'. Two motors from town were already standing in the mill yard; they had brought a company of girls who came with all the June roses in Frankfort to trim the house for the wedding.
So Mary went to little dances at the Royces' and the Bowditches', and walked home from her riding lesson with little Billy Parmalee or Frank Whittaker, or with Florence Haviland and Bobby Oliphant.
Meanwhile, you think up someone. How about Bryan Masters?" Magsie made a face. "Well," said Billy, departing, "you think of someone, and I will. Perhaps the Royces would go a nice little early party. The worst of it is, no one's in town!" She ran downstairs and jumped into the beautiful car. "Sherry's, please, Hungerford," said Billy easily.
You won't forget your promise?" "No." "She'll have no one but you," he went on rapidly. "Neither will I! You mustn't fail us!" "I shan't," I promised. "But you'd better think about yourself a little, Swain." "Plenty of time for that when I'm sure that Marjorie's safe. The minute you tell me she's at the Royces', I'll begin to think about myself. I'm not afraid. I didn't kill that man.
DIVINE: At Eton I was a member at Pop; at Rugby I belonged to Near-beer. As a younger son I was destined for the police force MR. ICKY: Skip that.... Have you money?... DIVINE: Wads of it. I should expect Ulsa to go down town in sections every morning in two Rolls Royces. I have also a kiddy-car and a converted tank. I have seats at the opera And I've heard that you were cashiered from your club.
