While it proved difficult to refrain from liking the girl, with her frank joyousness, her youthful zest in life, the possession of such qualities furnished an additional excuse for that jealousy which still dominated Carrissima's waking thoughts.
He was deeply wounded in the most sensitive part, but while admitting his weakness in yielding to a commonplace temptation, he could make no excuse for Carrissima's scandalous libel. An hour ago, she had been the only woman in the world for him; as to Bridget well, the old Adam had cropped out for an instant. To account for his vulnerability one must embark on a study of the theory of Evolution!
I won't allow it. But no man can control a woman's face. I can see Carrissima's smile," he added, taking out his handkerchief and mopping his forehead. "How ridiculous," said Bridget, "to make yourself so uncomfortable on my account." "Let him laugh who wins!" cried Colonel Faversham. "If they think I'm a fool well, I don't want to be wise. Of course, there's one way "
On Tuesday afternoon Carrissima was, naturally, bound to Phoebe and Victor, but during the morning she made her way to Donaldson's, the jeweller's, in Old Bond Street, where her family had dealt for many years. She had not by any means made up her mind what to buy, and, indeed, in Carrissima's eyes shopping was always an elaborate rite.
David Rosser had a style, you know: a little precious, perhaps, if that's a drawback. So you know his daughter! I will see that Sybil goes to see Miss Rosser. Then," said Jimmy, "I shall have a look in." Colonel Faversham came home on Wednesday evening, the day after Carrissima's visit to Upper Grosvenor Street.
"He looked very well the last time I saw him," replied Carrissima, at once on guard. "When was that?" "A few days ago!" "You don't appear to have any interesting announcement to make," suggested Bridget, with expressive eyes on Carrissima's face. Now, Carrissima hesitated. She could easily have answered in such a way that her hostess, with all her audacity, would have been silenced.
Mark, having provided an elaborate tea and a profusion of flowers, looked forward with considerable zest to Carrissima's visit with Phoebe as her chaperon, and yet as he stood at the window awaiting her arrival he wondered whether he had not perhaps been a little too precipitate over his recent investment. His outlook had been steadily changing since the day after his return from Paris.
Although her lips were smiling, her eyes seemed not a little pitiful. Perhaps, in some occult, subconscious way, this unbidden idea may have quickened Carrissima's regard, and in any case she deprecated the lonely birthday, forming a small benevolent scheme of her own for its celebration.
Rosser, already an invalid, having been wheeled over in her bath-chair to make Carrissima's acquaintance; there were henceforth frequent journeyings on bicycles between the two houses, until the time arrived for the Favershams' return to London. One or two letters had been exchanged between Carrissima and Bridget, who was invited to stay in Grandison Square; but the visit was prevented by Mrs.
He had told Sybil, it was true, but probably he would not even have enlightened his sister if he had taken time for reflection. "Do you think," asked Jimmy, instead of replying to Carrissima's question, "that Bridget would be likely to go abroad again?" "Jimmy," she answered seriously, "wherever she may have gone, you will be wise to take my advice." "What is that?"
