She fenced his sharp look. 'Laziness, I fancy; age is coming on. How is it Mrs. Blathenoy is here? 'Well! how? 'Foolish curiosity? 'I think I have made her of service. I did not bring the lady here. 'Of service to whom? 'Why, to Victor! 'Has Victor commissioned you? 'You can bear to hear it. Her husband knows the story. He has a grudge... commercial reasons.
Radnor should be the one to second her very innocent turn for a galopade; her own position allowed of any little diverting jig or reel, or plunge in a bath she required it, for the domestic Jacob Blathenoy was a dry chip: proved such, without a day's variation during the whole of the ten wedded months. Nataly gratified her spoken wish.
'He spent his honeymoon at his place at Wrensham; told me so. Blathenoy had therefore then heard of the building of Lakelands by the Victor Radnor of the City; and had then, we guess in the usual honeymoon boasting of a windbag with his bride wheezed the foul gossip, to hide his emptiness and do duty for amusement of the pretty little caged bird. Probably so.
Carling: capital claret. Emptiness was in the reply. Victor curbed himself and said: 'By the way, you're not likely to have dealings with Blathenoy. The fellow has a screw to the back of a shifty eye; I see it at work to fix the look for business. I shall sit on the Board of my Bank. One hears things. He lives in style at Wrensham.
'Superb toilettes! The colonel eyed Mrs. Blathenoy dilatingly, advanced, bowed, and opened the siege. She decided a calculation upon his age, made a wall of it, smilingly agreed with his encomium of the Concert, and toned her voice to Fenellan's comprehension: 'Did it occur recently? 'Months; in Africa; I haven't the date. 'Such numbers of people one would wish to know!
Blathenoy claimed Fenellan; she requested him to tell her whether he had known Mrs. Victor Radnor many years. She mused. 'You like her? 'One likes one's dearest of friends among women, does one not? The lady nodded to his response. 'And your brother? 'Dartrey is devoted to her. 'I am sure, said she, 'your brother is a chivalrous gentleman.
She was not aware that she dealt a hurt until she had found a small consolation in the indulgence: for Captain Dartrey Fenellan admired this commanding figure of a woman, who could not legally say that which the woman he admired less, if at all, legally could say. 'I must leave you to interpret, Nataly remarked. Mrs. Blathenoy resented her unbefitting queenly style.
Men complaining of the 'peace which is near their extinction, have but to shuffle with the sex; they will experience as remarkable a change as if they had passed off land on to sea. Dartrey had some flitting notion of the untamed original elements women can bring about us, in his short observant bow to Mrs. Marsett, following so closely upon the scene with Mrs. Blathenoy.
She wanted to see him alone, and he informed her, that Mrs. Blathenoy was in the hotel, and would certainly receive and amuse Nesta for any length of time. 'I will take her up, said Nataly, and rose, and she sat immediately, and fluttered a hand at her breast. She laughed: 'Perhaps I'm tired! Dartrey took Nesta. He returned, saying: 'There's a lift in the hotel. Do the stairs affect you at all?
Victor Radnor; and he delivered his prophecy in the teeth of the South- western gale familiar to our yachting month; and he really inspired belief or a kind of trust; some supposing him to draw from reserves of observation, some choosing to confide in the singularly winged sparkle of his eyes. Lady Rodwell Blachington did; and young Mrs. Blathenoy; and Mrs. Fanning; they were enamoured of it.
