Kennedy's suit-case was lying open on the bed, and he was literally throwing things into it from his chiffonier, as I entered after a hurried trip up-town from the Star office in response to an urgent message from him. "Come, Walter," he cried, hastily stuffing in a package of clean laundry without taking off the wrapping-paper, "I've got your suit-case out.
His howl of anguish resembles that of a puppy on a moonlight night. The mother recognizes her master's voice. She believes her child dying, flies to the bedside, tears up the letter, unpacks the suit-case. The next morning at breakfast her husband, reading the newspaper, exclaims aloud: "Harry Bellairs," he cries, "has skipped with the bank's money!
'Eh? He's left it well, if this doesn't beat the band! Here, Wenham nip after the man and tell him he left his luggage behind! Jim stooped to lift the case by the handle. 'But it's Dick's! 'Dick's? 'It's the suit-case I gave him my birthday present last April. See, there are his initials!
Lest Lulu or the lordly Harris Hartwig descend on them, they nervously lurked in the dark doorway of the baggage-room. With no overcoat, Father shivered and hid the shiver. The engine came, glaring in through the mist; the train seemed impatient, enormous, dwarfing the small station. The prodigal parents hastily tugged suit-case and bundle aboard. They found a seat together.
Loveday, ready with suit-case packed, was eagerly expecting them. From the window of her aunt's drawing-room she watched the big six-seater car arrive at the door. Giles a masculine edition of Diana, in spectacles was driving. Lenox a beaming khaki-clad figure with twinkle-some brown eyes sat by his side. Mr. and Mrs. Hewlitt and Diana were in the rear seat.
She left me hurriedly as soon as she had opened the door of the bedroom, with some apology about having to "see to the supper." I got my first real feeling of the strangeness of the whole affair while I was unpacking my suit-case in that rather stiff, unfriendly spare-room.
She got out, handing her suit-case to a friendly porter. Nobody had come to meet her. They were much too busy up at the Vicarage. There was also a much older man, closely attached to them, but not quite so obviously related. These six people also looked up and down the platform, expecting to be met. They were interested in Gwenda Cartaret.
I considered, as I made my way to my final supper with the Jimsons, that the said child was likely to prove a sufficiently serious business for Mr Moxon Ivery before the game was out. Andrew Amos I took the train three days later from King's Cross to Edinburgh. I went to the Pentland Hotel in Princes Street and left there a suit-case containing some clean linen and a change of clothes.
Perkins collapsed on his suit-case. Jimmy made for the desk and began to scan the directory. "What are you looking for?" "The P's. I'm going to haze that rattle-weeded Freshman and slay the doctor." When the two defeated joshers paused inside the Payson gate, a scene of touching domesticity met their gaze.
Have this mess cleared away and I'll fix up with you later at the hotel; and get my suit-case over to my room, will you?" To his son he said: "We'll go to your dormitory." He limped grimly ahead; Percy followed. As he passed the three seniors he pulled a face of mock repentance. The boys resumed their way to the tennis-court. "Pretty poor stick, isn't he?" commented Lane, disgustedly.
