So it is to be feared that the sad little story of the girl who drowned herself because he who loved her, made casual and, so to speak, duty-love to a married woman, had not occurred to him, as Brigit in her new-found kindliness of supposition, took for granted.
The more she had seen of Brigit Parflete the more she had been struck with her struck with her moodiness, struck with her contempt for received opinions, her vigour and independence of will.
Brigit had never known how much the little fellow noticed the details of dress, and so on, but now she learned, for his remarks about his mother usually took the form of appreciation or dislike of some particular toilette. "Wear pink, mother it suits you best and pearls. The diamonds make you look older."
That aspect of the question is revolting, abominable; but we are both in such a false position now that we owe it as much to other people as we do to ourselves to put everything in a true light. You are so brave, Brigit " "I am tired of being brave."
I threw a glance at Brigit and Monny, and was relieved to find that their attention was distracted by a new arrival: Miss Rachel Guest from Salem, Massachusetts: a pale, thin, lanky copy of our Rose, with the beauty and bloom left out; but a pair of eyes to redeem the colourless face oh, yes, a pair of eyes! Strange, hungry, waiting eyes.
I'm a sorry old stager, Lady Brigit, but it is good to see two young things like you and Joyselle find each other in time." As so often happens, his mood was answering hers, and she remembered some story she had heard long ago about him and some girl who had drowned herself. "Thank you," she said very gently, and turned to Théo, for she had a manlike fear of intruding on people's secrets.
The red-headed girl and her young man had disappeared, and from where they sat Joyselle and Brigit saw no signs of life. "To-morrow it will be crowded with odious people," Brigit sighed. "Why odious?" "Well, I mean vulgar, noisy people." He shook his head in a way that ruffled his halo of silver hair, and laughed. "You should not be a snob," he teased.
Well I don't care what you say about Brigit, I know she is all right. As yet, anyway," she added. "She loves that that brute," he stammered, wiping the perspiration from his face with a crumpled handkerchief. "I saw her face as she left his studio." Lady Kingsmead pursed her mouth thoughtfully. "That may be," she admitted. "I've thought for some time that something was in the air "
Once in charge of the chief eunuch, who had come to take them to the harem, Brigit and Monny might almost as well have been deaf and dumb. Brigit knew practically nothing of Arabic; and Monny, though she had been vaguely studying since her arrival, had been too passionately occupied with other things to give much time or attention to the language of Egypt's invaders.
Once more, necklaces and scarabs and baskets were thrust under our noses. Anthony had returned from his mysterious whisperings in cafes or mosques in the new town, and was waiting for us. Cleopatra called him, with a note of gayety in her voice, to help her off "the elephant." He came. I felt she was going to hint to him that I was in love with Monny hint to Brigit also.
