"Thanks I don't know that it's much of a subject for congratulation." "No?" queried young Jolyon; "I should have thought you'd be glad to get a long job like that off your hands; but I suppose you feel it much as I do when I part with a picture a sort of child?" He looked kindly at Bosinney. "Yes," said the latter more cordially, "it goes out from you and there's an end of it.
It would not do to make an open breach with her. "You needn't get into a rage," he said. "If I'm willing to put up with it, I suppose you needn't cry out. All I meant was that when you tell me a thing is going to cost so much, I like to well, in fact, I like to know where I am." "Look here!" said Bosinney, and Soames was both annoyed and surprised by the shrewdness of his glance.
"He is designing a house for Soames," she said softly, evidently trying to smooth things over. "That brings me to what I was going to say," continued James; "I don't know what Soames wants with a young man like that; why doesn't he go to a first-rate man?" "Perhaps Mr. Bosinney is first-rate!" James rose, and took a turn with bent head.
Something soft scurried by in the dark. "Shoo!" It was that great grey cat. 'Young Bosinney was like a great cat! he thought. 'It was him in there, that she that she was He's got her still! He walked to the edge of the terrace, and looked down into the darkness; he could just see the powdering of the daisies on the unmown lawn. Here to-day and gone to-morrow!
Scoles is a humbug, though, isn't he?" For Bosinney was looking round the table, as if pointing out the peculiarities of the guests, and Soames wondered what he was saying. By her smile Irene was evidently agreeing with his remarks. She seemed always to agree with other people. Her eyes were turned on himself; Soames dropped his glance at once. The smile had died off her lips. A humbug?
He could not but fear he said that his client had met with an accident. He had fully expected him there to give evidence; they had sent round that morning both to Mr. Bosinney had been to give his evidence. He had not, however, been instructed to apply for an adjournment, and in default of such instruction he conceived it his duty to go on.
All the knots and crankiness, which had gathered in his heart during that long and tragic business of June, Soames, Irene his wife, and poor young Bosinney, had been smoothed out. Even June had thrown off her melancholy at last witness this travel in Spain she was taking now with her father and her stepmother.
Gone in the heyday of his summer and to believe thus that an accident had cut Bosinney off in the full sweep of his passion was more than ever pitiful to young Jolyon. Then came a vision of Soames' home as it now was, and must be hereafter. The streak of lightning had flashed its clear uncanny gleam on bare bones with grinning spaces between, the disguising flesh was gone....
At last, having seen all that was to be seen, he came out again at the door where he had gone in; and now, feeling that he was wasting time and strength and money, all for nothing, he took the courage of a Forsyte in both hands, and, looking sharply at Bosinney, said: "I dare say you see a good deal of my daughter-in-law; now, what does she think of the house? But she hasn't seen it, I suppose?"
A young man coming from the Drugs had snatched off his hat, and was accosting the lady with the unknown back. It was then that she saw with whom she had to deal; the lady was undoubtedly Mrs. Soames, the young man Mr. Bosinney.
