I er I wanted to ask you a question. "Well?" "About that fellow Brooks I met at your place down at Enton. Lawyer at Medchester, isn't he? I thought that he and Sybil seemed a bit thick somehow. Don't suppose there could have been anything in it, eh? He's no one in particular, I suppose. Lady Caroom wouldn't be likely to listen to anything between Sybil and him?" Arranmore raised his eyebrows.
"Then remember," he said, bitterly, "that sympathy from you comes always very near to mockery. It is you and you alone who can unlock the door for me. You show me the key but you will not use it." A belated caller straggled in, and Arranmore took his leave. Lady Caroom for the rest of the afternoon was a little absent.
And do you know, we're disinfected before we leave." "A most necessary precaution, I should think," Lady Caroom exclaimed, reaching for her vinaigrette, "but do go and change your things as quickly as you can. "I must eat, mother, or starve," Sybil declared. "I have never been so hungry." A somewhat ponderous lady, who was the wife of a bishop, felt bound to express her disapprobation.
They made a slow circuit of the room, passed through an ante-chamber and came out in a sort of winter-garden looking over the Park. Lady Caroom exclaimed with delight. "You dear man," she exclaimed. "Of course I knew of this place isn't it charming? but I had no idea that we could reach it from the reception-rooms. Let us move our chairs over there.
"What do you mean?" "I mean," she said, deliberately, "that you love Sybil Caroom. Is it not true?" His head drooped a little. He had never asked himself even so much as this. He was face to face now with all the concentrated emotions which lately had so much disturbed his life. The problem which he had so sedulously avoided was forced upon him ruthlessly, with almost barbaric simplicity.
If he has ridden over, ask him to take some refreshment." "You have a visitor," Lady Caroom said, rising. "If you will excuse me I will go and lie down until luncheon-time, and let my maid touch me up. These sentimental conversations are so harrowing. I feel a perfect wreck."
Then I went up to have a game of billiards with Mr. Bullsom. Your telephone message found me there. You must remember that even if Medchester is not a very large place I am a very unimportant person." "Dear me, what modesty," Lady Caroom remarked, laughing. "To us, however, you happened to be very important. I hate a party of three."
I don't think he's good enough for Sybil." Lady Caroom sighed. "Sybil's a dear girl," she said, "although she's a terrible nuisance to me. I shouldn't be at all surprised either if she developed views. I wish you were a marrying man, Arranmore. I used to think of you myself once, but you would be too old for me now. You're exactly the right age for Sybil." Arranmore smiled.
"Your manners," Lady Caroom told him, as the last of her guests departed, "are simply hoydenish. Who told you that you might sit out all my visitors in this bare-faced way?" "You, dear lady, or rather your manner," he answered, imperturbably. "It seemed to me that you were saying all the time, 'Do not desert me! Do not desert me! And so I sat tight."
Groves, the cabinet Johannesburg and the '84 Heidsieck though I am afraid," he added, looking down at his companion, "that not all the wine in my cellar could make this feast of farewells a cheerful one." "Farewell celebrations of all sorts are such a mistake," Lady Caroom murmured. "We have been so happy here too."
