"To come to grief!" repeat I, with a harsh, dry laugh; "ha! ha! perhaps I have done that already!" "But will you?" he asks, eagerly; not heeding my sorry mirth, and taking my hand. Old friend! At the phrase, Algy's sneering white face rises before my mind's eye. "Will you?" he repeats, looking pleadingly at me, with the gray darkness of his eyes. "No, I will not!"
Unema! hong oy!" said Algy blasphemously. "You makee me velly sick! Just wash my hands for finish my dinner. Too much monkey-doodle!" and off he went to his work, followed at once by Mrs. Dick. "Algy's too modest," Van assured the crowd. "And none of you chaps are fit to apologize to Mrs. Dick, so you'd better go wash up for dinner.
Don't you forget now Monday, twelve o'clock." And Argyle pinched Aaron's arm fast, then went unsteadily up the steps to his hotel door. The next day at Algy's there was a crowd Algy had a very pleasant flat indeed, kept more scrupulously neat and finicking than ever any woman's flat was kept.
"That is so likely, is it not?" "Likely or not," cry I, excitedly, "it was true in my case. If you had put me on the rack, I could have confessed nothing!" "I do not see the analogy," he answers, coldly; "you are what did you tell me? nineteen? We shall be late for church!" with a glance at Algy's and Barbara's quickly diminishing figures.
Algy's is plum-color. The arms of all three are very, very tight. Had our ancestors indeed such skinny limbs, and such prodigious backs? Algy is a tall young man, but the waist of his coat is somewhere about the calves of his legs. It has told upon his spirits; he looks supernaturally grave. Mr. Parker is differently visited. He has an apparently unaccountable reluctance to turning his back to me.
I will only ask him quite meekly and humbly to let me go home again; to send me back to the changed and emptied school-room; to Algy's bills and morosities; to the wearing pricks of father's little pin-point tyrannies. I have lit the candles, and am looking at myself in the cheval-glass. What has become of my beauty, pray?
