'L100 secures partnership in lucrative business for sale of useful patent. L10 weekly. No personal attendance necessary. Jobbins, 300, Old Street Road. 'I wish we could secure that partnership, said Oswald. He is twelve, and a very thoughtful boy for his age. Alice looked up from her painting. She was trying to paint a fairy queen's frock with green bice, and it wouldn't rub.
The Contessa smiled who would not smile at such a speech? made with all the sincerity and simplicity possible simplicity scarcely affected by the instinct which made Bice aware before she said it, that to use the past tense would spoil all. The Contessa smiled. "Well," she said, "and then?" "They married you," said Bice with a curious tone between philosophical remark and interrogation.
She had just been going through her usual exercise with the baby, and had joined Lucy at the upper end of the gallery, that sport being over, and little Tom carried off to his mid-day sleep. There was a fire there, in the old-fashioned chimney, and Lucy had been sitting beside it watching the sport. Bice seated herself on a stool at a little distance.
Come, here is a kiss upon the bargain. The money shall go, and a good riddance, Lucy. There is now nothing between you and me." Bice was married at the end of the season, in the most fashionable church, in the most correct way. Montjoie's plain cousins had asked asked! without a sign of enmity! to be bridesmaids, "as she had no sisters of her own, poor thing!"
The outcry that rose when, after Montjoie's comic song, a performance of the broadest and silliest description, was over, it was discovered that Bice had disappeared, and especially the blank look of the performer himself when turning round from the piano he surveyed the company in vain for her, gratified the Contessa beyond measure.
Dante's Bice must have been more grand, more imposing, in her dress of crimson or dazzling white." Jock made no response. It was usual for him to regard MTutor devoutly when he talked in this way, and to feel that no man on earth talked so well.
On that sweet morning even the street was delightful. It restored them to perfect satisfaction with each other as they made their way to the Park, which stretched its long lines of waving grass almost within sight. "And I suppose," said Jock, after a pause, "that you like being here?" Bice gave him a look half friendly, half disdainful. "I like living," she said.
"Contessa," said Sir Tom, "you have come at a fortunate moment. Tell Lady Randolph who Bice is. I think she has a right to know." "Who Bice is? But what has that to do with it? She is fiancée, she belongs to more than herself. And there is the drawing-room in a week imagine, only in a week! and how can she go into the presence of the Queen full of infection?
"I was telling Miss Destrey about her yesterday. She seemed interested. Miss Destrey is very fond of history, isn't she?" "Yes. But I'm tired talking of her now. I want to hear about the other Beatrice. I suppose, if she was Italian, she was Bice too; but I'm sure her friends never made her rhyme with mice." "Her husband made her rhyme with murder.
"Bice must be dressed," the Contessa said, "which of itself requires no little time and thought. Unhappily M. Worth is not in London. Even with M. Worth I exert my own faculties. He is excellent, but he has not the intuitions which come when one is very much interested in an object. Sweet Lucy! you have not thought upon that matter. Your dress is as your dressmaker sends it to you.
