She prizes it so very highly, that I feel as though I ought to thank you myself." Aileen opened her eyes. "Jade!" she observed, curiously. "Why, I don't remember." Recalling Cowperwood's proclivities on the instant, she was suspicious, distraught. Her face showed her perplexity. "Why, yes," replied Mrs. Platow, Aileen's show of surprise troubling her. "The ear-rings and necklet, you know.
Wait another two or four or six years, like Paddy Kerrigan and the others." "Yes, I will not," growled Mr. Tiernan. "Wait'll the sixth." "No more, will I," replied Mr. Kerrigan. "Say, we know a trick that beats that next-year business to a pulp. What?" "You're dead right," commented Mr. Tiernan. And so they went peacefully home. Aileen's Revenge
When I lived for the hour when we would meet, at Polly's, or at Nick's or at Aileen's any of the places where we were supposed to be dancing, but where there was no danger of being found out. Of course I dared not have them at home, and the others lived with their families, or had too many servants....
Only when I tap they have to come out. You want to remember that. So just you let me know." Cowperwood was exceedingly grateful. He said so in direct, choice language. It occurred to him at once that this was Aileen's opportunity, and that he could now notify her to come. If she veiled herself sufficiently she would probably be safe enough.
Only Aileen's solemn promise to her lover could have saved her from this subtle thrust. As it was, she paled nervously; but she saw Frank Cowperwood, solemn and distinguished, asking her what she would say if she were caught. "It's a lie!" she said, catching her breath. "I wasn't at any house at that number, and no one saw me going in there. How can you ask me that, father?"
After her own Philadelphia experience she had decided to be on her guard and not indulge in too much gossip. Arrows of this particular kind could so readily fly in her direction. "But her set is really much the smartest," complimented Aileen's companion. Thereafter it was Aileen's ambition to associate with Mrs. Anson Merrill, to be fully and freely accepted by her.
Of course, I would like to have your consent for that so would Aileen; but if we can't, we can't." Aileen's present situation was quite unsatisfactory without marriage in view. And even if he, Cowperwood, was a convicted embezzler in the eyes of the public, that did not make him so.
Googe and Father Honoré, had imported Margaret O'Dowd, the "Freckles" of the asylum, as mother's helper six months after Aileen's arrival in Flamsted. For nearly six years Maggie loyally seconded Mrs. Caukins in the care of her children and her household.
He must have been a smart, handy kind of lad, and what a different look his face must have had then! We had our own horses in pretty good trim, so we foraged up Aileen's mare, and made it up to ride over to George Storefield's, and gave him a look-up. He'd been away when we came, and now we heard he was home. 'George has been doing well all this time, of course, I said.
Yet there he was, and with him two women, neither of whom, in the speed of passing, could Aileen quite make out. She had her car halted and driven to within seeing-distance behind a clump of bushes. A chauffeur whom she did not know was tinkering at a handsome machine, while on the grass near by stood Cowperwood and a tall, slender girl with red hair somewhat like Aileen's own.
