And to her immense relief she perceived Lady Calmady's serenity give a little. It was as though she came nearer. Her sweet face was troubled, her eyes full of questioning. "Camp grew a little too tired of waiting about three weeks ago. You did not ask for him " "Didn't I?" Katherine said, smitten by self-reproach. "Never once and so we did not tell you, fearing to distress you." Miss St.
But I'll ask you not to go in among the brood-mares and foals unless Chifney is with you. They may be a bit savage and shy, and it is not altogether safe for a lady." He stretched out his hand, taking Lady Calmady's hand for a moment. "Dear mother, you look tired. You'll have to put up with Grimshott. The weather's not going to let us off. Go and rest till we start."
"Yes very likely I believe I agree," the doctor answered. "Only it remains that he has come, is feeding, growing, stretching, and bellowing too, like a young bull-calf, when anything doesn't suit him. He is here, very much here, I tell you. And so we have just got to consider how to make the best of him, both for his own sake and for Lady Calmady's.
He looked down at Richard again. "Fast friends, already, and mean to remain so, don't we, old chap?" Thereupon Lady Calmady's soul received much comfort. Her pride was always on the alert, fiercely sensitive concerning Richard. And the joy of this meeting had, till now, an edge of jealous anxiety to it. If Roger did not take to the boy, then deeply though she loved him Roger must go.
"Oh no, no!" he replied; "Lady Calmady's going on splendidly. And it is to guard, just as far as we can, against cause for anxiety later, that I want to speak to Captain Ormiston now. We've got to be prepared for certain contingencies. Don't you go, Mr. March. You may as well hear what I've to say. It will interest you particularly, I fancy, after one or two things you have told us to-night!"
But he would not put foot to ground in the presence of the many women who courted him, or in that of the many men who treated him with rather embarrassed kindness and courtesy to his face and spoke of him with pitying reserve behind his back. Other persons, besides Mr. Quayle, watched Richard Calmady's social successes with interest. Among them was Honoria St. Quentin.
Quentin continued. "It is Lady Calmady's rôle to be apart, separate from and superior to the rest." "The thing's being done as well as it can be," Mr. Quayle put in mildly. "It shouldn't be done at all," the girl declared. "Here I am, Sir Reginald. You want to go on? I'm quite ready."
A shaft of strong sunshine slanted in and lay, like a bright highway, across the rich colours of the Persian carpet. The air was hot but nimble, and of a vivacious and stimulating quality. It fluttered some loose papers on the writing-table near the open window. It fluttered the delicate laces and fine muslin frills of Lady Calmady's morning-gown.
The sun was but five minutes high, and no longer brightened the southern house front, though it spread a ruddy splendour over the western range of gables, and lingered about the stacks of slender twisted chimneys, and cast long slanting shadows across the lawns and carriage drives, before Lady Calmady's waiting drew to a close.
And outwit my sister Louisa in diplomacy vide our poor, dear Dickie Calmady's broken engagement, and the excellent, scatter-brain Decies' marriage." "But Lady Constance is happy?" Honoria put in hastily. "Blissful, positively blissful, and with twins too! Think of it! Decies is blissful also.
