She would not try to take Aylmer away. Let him remain with his red-haired Miss Argles! He might even marry her. He deserved it. She meant to tell Vincy, of course. Poor Vincy, he didn't know of the treachery. Now she must devote herself to the children, and be good and kind to Bruce. At least, Bruce was true to her in his way.
She had no parents, which made her more pathetic, but no more free. He could not go and see her, with any satisfaction to either of them, at her home, though he did so occasionally. This was why she first went to see him at his flat. But these visits, as they were both placed, could, of course, happen rarely. Mavis Argles this was the girl's extraordinary name had a curious fascination for him.
'Another point occurs to me. In your hurry and excitement, perhaps you forgot that your father's legacy depended on the condition that you should not leave the Foreign Office before you were fifty. That is about fourteen years from now. If you are legally freed, and marry Miss Argles, you could hardly go back there.
Besides the donors already named, the following became contributors for special objects, many of them having in addition given substantial assistance in money to the restoration fund. The choir pulpit, Bishop's throne, and the cost of cleaning the whitewash from the nave were given by Dean Argles. Enlargement of foot-pace, and extension of mosaic pavement, by Mrs Argles. Litany desk, by Mrs Rigg.
Brown, and the, following year their ranks were strengthened by the advent of the Rev. Mr. Argles. I was introduced to them by the Rev. F. Stewart Dyer, above referred to, who was then acting Chaplain of the Free School. I used often to meet them at his house in the parsonage in the school compound.
Bruce was even more anxious than he used to be always to have a third person present whenever possible. He walked through the hot July streets with that feeling of flatness of the want of a mild excitement apart from his own home. He saw Aylmer and persuaded him to come. While he was there a rather pretty pale girl, with rough red hair, was announced. Aylmer introduced Miss Argles.
And she wanted to keep the whole thing together on account of Archie, and for Dilly's sake. She must be so kind, yet so strong that Bruce would be at once grateful for her forbearance and afraid to take advantage of it. Rather a difficult undertaking!... And she had seen Aylmer again! There was nothing in it about Miss Argles. What happiness! She ought to have trusted him. He cared for her.
He was surprised, simply enchanted, at the entire frankness of her recognition; she acknowledged openly that it mattered to her tremendously whether or not he was on intimate terms or flirting with little Miss Argles, or with little Miss anybody. He was not even to look at any woman except herself, that was arranged between them now and understood.
Bruce didn't hear the last words, for he was flying out of the door. Miss Argles was walking very slowly; he joined her. 'Pardon me, he said, raising his hat. 'It's so very hot am I going your way? Would you allow me to see you home? 'Oh, you're very kind, I'm sure, she said sadly. 'But I don't think I live at Ravenscourt Park. Bruce thought there was plenty of time. 'Why how very curious!
I'm sure you will do this to please me. 'We are going away in a day or two, but I don't know where. Please don't trouble to come and see me. 'Good-bye. Aylmer left Miss Argles at the British Museum. When he went back, he found this letter. An Extraordinary Afternoon Aylmer guessed at once she had seen him driving.
