"The fact is that Allen knows more about the Kentwood district and the factory values than any one else, and I feel it my duty to advise Alys to leave her affairs in his hands. I'll see him for you in the morning." He turned to Alys with a return of tolerantly protective inflection in his voice. Geneviève shrugged, a faint ghost of a shrug.
Let's see; when I saw you last you were the only authentic child pest of your day and generation six or seven at most. How long have you been out of college?" "A year not quite." "And sporting bachelor rooms of your own!" "I'm of age. Besides, if you must know, mother and Mae Alys are both dotty on the society game, and I'm not. I won't be rushed round to pink teas and and all that sort of thing."
But unless Miss Eliot would undertake it, he wouldn't know just where to turn. Alys had quarreled with Allen, and Sampson was a skate. And perhaps a little plain talk to Alys about the condition of the cottages "from one of her own sex," George said this darkly and looked away out of the window at the time might be productive of good. "All right," Betty agreed, "I'll see what I can do.
And as we stood thus we heard a horn blow, and then an armed knight came into the hall and drew near to the King; and one of the maidens behind me, came and laid her hand on my shoulder; so I turned and saw that she was very fair, and then I was glad, but she whispered to me: 'Sir Squire for a love I have for your face and gold armour, I will give you good counsel; go presently to the King and say to him: "In the name of Alys des roses and Sir Guy le bon amant I pray you three boons," do this, and you will be alive, and a knight by to-morrow, otherwise I think hardly the one or the other.
Thus it was that Barbara was left alone in the great house, with none to bear her company but Jack, who was but twelve, and Marjorie, who was but eight, and little Alys, and old Digger, the odd man, and the maids. There were also, it is true, stablemen and gardeners, but they lived in the village. Philip was sixteen, and at this time was still at his lessons with Mr.
"It's for your own good, dear," Alys smiled. "Yes," Geneviève agreed. "I understand. Things that hurt are often for our good, aren't they? We have to be made to realize facts really to know them." "Coffee, dear?" inquired Alys, assuming the duties of hostess. Geneviève shook her head. "No. I find I've been rather wakeful of late: perhaps it's coffee. Excuse me. I must telephone."
And Alys and I stood up in the tower by the great bell as they tolled it; I remember now that I had passed my hand underneath her hair, so that the fingers of it folded over and just lay on her cheek; she gazed down on the bell, and at every deafening stroke she drew in her breath and opened her eyes to a wide stare downwards.
At this remark, embedded like a diamond in a rock, a shade of faintest color swam across Mrs. Smith's face and she swung him her profile and twirled at her rings. "And where Genevieve Remington's husband's interests are involved, ladies, need I go further in emphasizing your welcome into that little home?" "Heaven knows it would be a change from the boarding-house, Alys.
He was angry with her he was angry with her! Oh, what had she said, what had she said! "But for all that," George continued, after a moment, "nobody but two women could have put such an idiotic construction upon my words. I am certainly going to make that point with Alys.
I think I made him well it's all right." "There, I knew Betty'd make him see reason," she smiled. "I'm awfully glad. I've a real respect for Penny's judgment after all, you know." "Meaning, you have your doubts about mine." "No, meaning only just what I said just that. By the way, George, I wish you'd take time to look into Alys' real estate.
