I believe Sophy is either in his mother's house or else she has gone to London." "Why London?" "Captain Binnie sails continually to London. Really, Archie, there are none so blind as those who won't see." "I will not believe such a thing of Sophy. She is as pure and innocent as a little child." Madame laughed scornfully. "She is as pure and innocent as those baby-faced women usually are.
"He showed me a photograph once," she continued. "A baby-faced chit of a girl it was, but he was evidently very proud of it. A little girl of his down in the country, he told me. Then, do you know this? He was never in London for Sunday. Every week-end he went off somewhere; and I never heard of any one who ever saw him or knew where he went to."
And Winnie too! to forget all about dear Winnie just because I am so happy. It is selfish and unkind, dear, I am afraid." He told her I was too good, too lovable to quarrel with their bliss, and held her to his heart while he looked up to the flaxed-haired, baby-faced mother for a blessing with quite a glow of feeling on his face and real tears in his eyes.
"Go to your baby-faced Violet," cries the Tulip, with a toss of her haughty head. "You are just fitted for each other." And when I return to the Lily, she tells me that she cannot trust me. She has watched me with those others. She knows me for a gad-about. Her gentle face is full of pain. So I must live unloved merely because I love too much. My wonder is that young men ever marry.
If you don't care, as you say, you might just as well let us have the key of that music-shed of yours for a quiet game; a modest bank a dozen candles or so. It would be greatly appreciated by your clients, as far as I can judge from the way they betted on a game of ecarte I had with that fair, baby-faced man what's his name? They just yearn for a modest bank.
"Only think of him," exclaimed the father, breathless "only think of him havin' the assurance to propose a match between you an' his baby-faced daughter! Ho! Dher manhim, Owen Connor," he shouted, shaking the staff at Owen as he spoke "Dher manhim! if I was near you, I'd put your bones through other, for darin' to mintion sich a thing!"
In her inexperience she had, no doubt, gone at the bidding of some perfidious wretch, and the Egyptian witch, the brown slave had, of course, had a finger in the trick. She would accuse no one, but she knew some people who would be only too glad if Dada and that baby-faced young Christian got into trouble and disgrace together.
To that entry made in her diary on the night of her arrival she had added two further sentences: "Hate that baby-faced Humfray chit." "Certain cannot stick unless find cat." Opening her diary now she gazed upon these entries; chewed them. They were bitter to the taste.
Timid and cowardly at heart, the young waif would have shuddered had he known of the callous-handed and desperate murders which had shocked Vienna just before Hugo Landor, a talented and handsome young chemist, disappeared forever in flight, lost under a cloud of scandal caused by drink and a maddening devotion to a baby-faced devil of the Ring Strasse Theater chorus, a woman at whose feet the hungry-eyed aristocrats had knelt to sue, a man-eater, a hard-hearted, velvet-eyed, reckless and defiant devil.
So, remembering what Galbraith had said about everybody down to the last chorus-man doing the best he knew for the success of the show, Rose sought him out, for a minute, just before the rehearsal began, and asked if she might change two of her lines a little. Galbraith grinned at her, turned and beckoned to the baby-faced man in spectacles who stood a dozen paces away. "Oh, Mr. Mills!" he called.
