Gertrude, as a District Organizer of the League of Revolt, had intrusted him with the running of various meetings in small places, along the coast, for which it humiliated him to remember that he had agreed to be paid. For at his very first call upon them, Miss Marvell had divined his impecunious state, and pounced upon him as an agent, unknown, he thought, to Miss Blanchflower.
Miss Toogood's hand pressed her arm. "I'm always so sorry" murmured the dressmaker "for those others those women who haven't lived to see what we're going to see, aren't you?" "Yes," assented the other, adding with the same emotional emphasis "But they've all helped every woman's helped! They've all played their parts." "Well, I don't know about Lady Blanchflower!" laughed Miss Toogood, happily.
Doesn't she see that she helps the world more by not knowing! that her mere unconsciousness is our gain our refreshment." The face of the man sitting opposite her, reflected her own feeling. "You and I always agree," he said warmly. "I wish you'd make friends with her." "Who? Miss Blanchflower? What could she make out of an old stager like me!"
"She is the daughter of a widow in the town. Blanchflower, I think the name is." "Do you think you could contrive an introduction? There is a sort of savage innocence about that dress which rather attracts me." Within half an hour Miss Blanchflower was conversing easily with the slim young gentleman who had criticized her so pleasantly.
There are more important things for you to do presently. Wait!" The words echoed in her ears. She waited; exulting in the thought that no one, not even Miss Blanchflower, knew as much as she; and that neither her mother nor her brother had as yet any idea of her connection with the "Daughters." Her "silly suffrage opinions" were laughed at by them both good-humouredly, by Bill.
He too had examined the new arrivals with interest, and while Delia was still talking to the station-master, he walked up to her. "I think you are Miss Blanchflower: But you won't remember me." He lifted his hat, smiling. Delia looked at him, puzzled. "Don't you remember that Christmas dance at the Rectory, when you were ten, and I was home from Sandhurst?"
Andrews, whose dress, after Susy's ministration, had been declared out of danger, bent across the tea-table, all smiles and benevolence again, the plumes in her black hat nodding "It's like old times to have the Abbey open again, Miss Blanchflower! Every week we used to go to your dear grandmother, for her Tuesday work-party. I'm afraid you'll hardly revive that!"
But the first time he went to see the horse in the stable, she trampled on him and he was laid up for weeks." "Like mistress, like mare? Excuse the jest! But now, may I know the name of the prophetess?" "She was a Miss Blanchflower," said the Swedish lady, boggling a little over the name. "Her father had been a governor of one of your colonies." Winnington started forward in his chair.
The whole dismal little drama unveiled itself, and Winnington was hotly moved by the waste and pity of it. He was entertained by the Blanchflowers and took a liking to them both. The old friendship between Winnington and the cavalryman was soon noticed by Major Blanchflower, and one night he walked home with Winnington, who had been dining at his house, to the Commissioner's quarters.
"Are you taking that to Miss Blanchflower?" "Yes, Sir." "Shew me the way, please." Winnington followed her, and she, after a scared look, did not attempt to stop him. She paused outside a door, and instantly made way for him. He knocked, and at the "Come in" he entered, the maid slipping in after him with the tea. Two persons rose startled from their seats Delia and Gertrude Marvell.
