I'm the little beggar-maid who awakens to find her self in the castle. Do you suppose there's a fairy godmother somewhere? And a prince?" And Cornelius Allendyce who had never read a fairy story in his life, let alone acted one, laughed with her. "Yes, this is another chapter in your story." "Oh, and don't you wish we could just peek to the end and see how it all turns out? But that isn't fair.
Upon this new order of things Cornelius Allendyce arrived, unheralded, and very tired from a long journey. Budge's letter had been forwarded to him at Miami where he had been pleasantly recuperating from his siege of sciatica. It had disturbed him tremendously, and he had spent the long hours on the railroad train upbraiding himself for his neglect of his ward.
He told then, of his first visit to Patchin Place and of his finding little Robin in her curious surroundings. "I really cannot say just what put the notion in my head of taking her to the Manor I think it was something appealing about the child." "You are more honest to admit that than I expected, Cornelius Allendyce.
"Well, I never want to go fast again in my life," cried Robin, coloring under the meaning glance Beryl shot at her. Dale greeted her more shyly, and because Madame Forsyth and Cornelius Allendyce were talking to Tom, and Beryl had eyes and ears only for the nice-looking lad, no one overheard what passed between them. "Miss Robin, I would never have forgiven myself if anything had happened to you!
"Good heavens," thought Allendyce, startled at her astonishing frankness. He reached out and patted the small hand. "You are very kind. Does your Jimmie sell many pictures?" "Not many I heard him and Mr. Tony talking. Mr. Tony's his best friend. If it were not for me Jimmie'd go away with Mr. Tony. Mr. Tony writes, you see, and he wants Jimmie to illustrate for him."
"He's a collector," Cornelius Allendyce explained, nodding sideways and hurrying on to a room in the back, as though their errand had nothing to do with the curious things about them. "Ah, there, Eugene, we're here! Miss Lynch, this is Eugene Dominez, known to two continents as that rare specimen, an honest collector; to me, the only man I can't beat at chess!"
The nephew's an artist of sorts and doubtless has his ups and downs most artists do. Now I suggest " "That I take this child " Mr. Allendyce tactfully ignored the scorn in her voice. "Exactly," he purred. "Exactly. Gordon is the child's name. A very nice name, I am sure." "The child of an obscure artist " "Ah, but, Madame, blood is blood. A Forsyth " "P'ff!"
