Well, of course, I knew what he meant us to think he meant; but was there, could there be, anything in it?" Miss Belsize looked at me as though she expected an answer, only to stop me the moment I opened my mouth to speak. "I don't want to know, Mr. Manders! Of course you know all about Mr.
Yes, but when things were so quiet and comfortable, when the ladies of the two families had met at the Congress of Baden, and liked each other so much, when Barnes and his papa the Baronet, recovered from his illness, were actually on their journey from Aix-la-Chapelle, and Lady Kew in motion from Kissingen to the Congress of Baden, why on earth should Jack Belsize, haggard, wild, having been winning great sums, it was said, at Hombourg, forsake his luck there, and run over frantically to Baden?
Lady Dorking here remarked, that as Captain Belsize was now at Baden, he might wish to hear from Lady Clara Pulleyn's own lips that the engagement into which she had entered was formed by herself, certainly with the consent and advice of her family. "Is it not so, my dear?" Lady Clara said, "Yes, mamma," with a low curtsey.
For he was making a sirvente in praise of Guenevere. So Duke Jurgen of Logreus duly rhapsodized of his Phyllida. "I borrow for my dear love the appellation of that noted but by much inferior lady who was beloved by Ariphus of Belsize," he explained.
I would back him to save the most desperate situation you could devise." "You mean by some desperate deed? That's what I feared," declared Miss Belsize, rather strenuously. "Something really had happened at Carlsbad; something worse was by way of happening next. For Teddy's sake," she whispered, "and his poor father's!"
Whilst Florac was partaking of his favourite ecrevisses, giving not only his palate but his hands, his beard, his mustachios and cheeks a full enjoyment of the sauce which he found so delicious, he chose to revert now and again to the occurrences which had just passed, and which had better perhaps have been forgotten, and gaily rallied Belsize upon his warlike humour.
The horse, rearing and making way for himself, galloped down the clattering street; a hundred people were round Sir Barnes in a moment. The carriage which Belsize had ordered came round at this very juncture. Amidst the crowd, shrinking, bustling, expostulating, threatening, who pressed about him, he shouldered his way. Mr. Taplow, aghast, was one of the hundred spectators of the scene.
My companion had been taking renewed interest in the goldfish; now she looked at me again with the cynical light full on in her eyes. "You must be rather disappointed in him now!" "Disappointed! Why?" I asked with much outward amusement. But I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. "Of course I don't know much about him," remarked Miss Belsize as though she cared less.
Belsize, and afterwards" here he glances towards Lady Julia, as if to say, "Before an unmarried lady, I do not like to tell your ladyship with whom I saw Lord Kew driving, after he had left the Honourable Mr. Belsize, who went to play a match with Captain Huxtable at tennis." "Are you afraid to speak before Julia?" cries the elder lady.
This sudden decision took me as much by surprise as I believe it took Miss Belsize herself; but having announced her intention, however hot-headedly, she proceeded to action by way of the conservatory and the library door, while Raffles and I went through into the hall the other way. "I'm afraid I've put my foot in it," said he to me.
