For some time Maxwell hesitated and then answered: "Well, I guess I might as well tell you, because you will know all about it anyway in a day or two, and you might as well get a correct version of the affair from me, though I hate awfully to trouble you. The parish owes me two hundred and fifty dollars.
"Oh, he knew it himself. A little while ago he started on whiskey again. He said he was too old to turn over any new leaves. He would rather be happy for six months and die at the end of it than linger on for five years. And then I think he's been awfully hard up lately. You see, he didn't earn anything while he was ill, and the slut he lives with has been giving him a rotten time."
In England, the state awfully tormented its pious Christian subjects, to whom their Lord's words must have been peculiarly consoling: "Fear not them which kill the body." Did they suffer? How holy were their enjoyments! Ed. 13 An awful instance occurred soon after the publication of this "Advice."
Did you know that I was in London? I left Steenbok when my husband died, five years ago. I've had a simply terrific time since. While the German South West campaign was on I was nursing out there, but came back about a year ago to lend a hand here. It would be awfully nice to meet you again, if by any chance you are in England.
And yet I cannot honestly say that my own moral convictions were strong enough to decide the struggle in me by themselves. They were helped by my remembrance of Sir Percival's death. How awfully, at the last moment, had the working of the retribution THERE been snatched from my feeble hands!
It's a morbid fancy, and yet she's not a morbid subject, either. And she said: "Very well, my dear; only, you're not going to do anything of the sort. That's flat." Gyp smiled again, and there was silence, till she said: "I'm awfully ashamed, wanting all this attention, and making people miserable. I've read that Japanese women quietly go out somewhere by themselves and sit on a gate."
"Subject one, Abadan at night complete with tanks; subject two, works, oil, one in number sketched in triplicate why, my Lords Commissioners will be awfully bucked. They've put a couple of millions into this show, you know. Say 'when, it can't hurt you, special Abadan brand." I said "when."
"Thanks awfully," replied Alice, with a sneer. Her momentary good-nature had dried up like the dew. She put on her hat, wrapped a shawl round her shoulders and left the room. Kitty returned to her place by the window. It was now between eight and nine o'clock. She had refused both dinner and tea, and was in consequence feeling weak and faint.
"You'd better not let Dolly hear you say that," she said. "I didn't have a thing to do with it, Zara. It was all Dolly's cleverness that won that race." "I'm awfully glad you're back, Bessie. I've had the strangest feeling this afternoon as if someone were watching me." Bessie grew grave at once. Although she never shared them, she had grown chary of laughing at Zara's premonitions and feelings.
She waited for a response, but none came. "It's going to be awfully stupid here with everybody gone," she persisted. "Why won't you come?" She was dressed in a short white serge and the Panama hat, which as yet was innocent of autographs. It was astonishing what a difference the absence of conflicting colors made in her appearance.
