If he pinched her again under pretense of picking up her napkin, she would throw her glass in his face! Nevertheless, the evening passed off well. The company had naturally begun talking about the Varietes. Wasn't that cad of a Bordenave going to go off the hooks after all? His nasty diseases kept reappearing and causing him such suffering that you couldn't come within six yards of him nowadays.
'But as I do, and as you seem to like me a little, I should be an awful cad if I kept you in the dark any longer. You won't publish it on the housetops. I'm not Edmund Lushington at all. 'You are not Edmund Lushington, the critic? Margaret's mouth opened in surprise. 'I'm the critic all right, he answered, with a faint smile. 'I'm the man that writes, the man you've heard of.
"Ask yourself first," she continued, "and then be honest with me. How would you feel?" He shrugged his shoulders uneasily. "I admit it, but I'm willing to pay the price. I'll feel like a cad all the rest of my life, if I must, in order to have you." "If a man has no self-respect," she retorted, "what can he expect from his " "Wife," breathed Alden, in a rapturous whisper.
To the young cad, who can think of nothing but the colour of his latest pair of kid gloves, or the check of his newest acquisition in the shape of fashionable trousers, all out-door amusement is considered an interminable bore, the game of Football has, of course, no charm.
She felt vaguely that Archie ought to do something to demonstrate that he was not a worthless character, possibly kick Mr. Smith out of the studio, at least protest at being called a "cad" and "adventurer."
