"Well, I don't believe my mother with her seven ever worked any harder than you do!" said Margaret, with the admiration in her eyes that was so sweet to the older woman. "Look at this morning did you sit down before you came in here twenty minutes ago?" "I? Indeed I didn't!" Mrs. Carr-Boldt said.
"Yes? Well, come and beat the seven of clubs," said Mrs. Carr-Boldt, spreading the deck for the draw. "Fraulein," she said sweetly, a moment later, when a maid had summoned that worthy and earnest governess, "tell Miss Harriet that Mother doesn't want her to do her German to-day, it's too warm. Tell her that she's to go with you and Miss Victoria for a drive. Thank you.
No, the professor would call on her at Bar Harbor, take a yachting trip with the Carr-Boldts perhaps, and then and then, when they were really good friends, some day she would ask. Mother to have a simple little luncheon, and Mrs. Carr-Boldt would let her bring Dr. Tenison down in the motor from New York. And meantime no need to be too explicit.
Carr-Boldt assured her promptly. "No, you wouldn't! You can't leave everything to servants there are clothes to think of, and dentists, and special teachers, and it's frightfully hard to get a nursery governess. And then you've got to see that they know the right people don't you know? and give them parties I tell you it's a strain."
Carr-Boldt, not at all at his best, stumbled in upon his wife with some angry observations meant for her ear alone; and Margaret, busy with accounts in a window recess, was, unknown to them both, a distressed witness. Carr-Boldt, coldly, upon Margaret's appearing scarlet-cheeked between the curtains, "don't oblige me to ascertain that you are not within hearing before feeling sure of privacy.
The other two, glad to be aroused, heartily approved the idea. "Well, what does this very businesslike aspect imply?" Mrs. Carr-Boldt asked her secretary. "It means that I can't play cards, and you oughtn't," Margaret said, laughing. "Oh ? Why not?" "Because you've lots of things to do, and I've got to finish these notes, and I have to sit with Harriet while she does her German "
The Allens fell joyously upon the Carr-Boldt party, with a confusion of greetings. "And Jack Tenison!" shouted Lily Allen, delightedly. "Well, what fun! What are you doing here?" "I'm feeling a little lonely," said the professor, smiling at Mrs. Carr-Boldt. "Nothing like that; unsay them woyds," said Maude Allen, cheerfully. "Mamma, make him dine with us! Say you will."
And tell him to send us something cool to drink now. Thank you so much. No, shut it. Thank you. Have a nice drive!" They all drew up their chairs to the table. "You and I, Rose," said Mrs. Watson. "I'm so glad you suggested this, Hattie. I am dying to play." "It really rests me more than anything else," said Mrs. Carr-Boldt. "Two spades."
There was another bad day when Margaret artlessly admitted to Mrs. Pierre Polk at the telephone that Mrs. Carr-Boldt was not engaged for dinner that evening, thus obliging her employer to snub the lady, or accept a distasteful invitation to dine. And there was a most uncomfortable occasion when Mr.
Two little girls, heavy, well groomed little girls, one spectacled and good-natured looking, the other rather pretty, with a mass of fair hair, were coming down the stairs with an eager little German woman. They kissed their mother, much diverted by the mad rushes and leaps of the two white poodles who accompanied them. Carr-Boldt. "This is Victoria, who's eleven, and Harriet, who's six.
