Lossing was not a convert, SHE had believed in Harry from the beginning. But all this was years before Mrs. Carriswood's visit. Another of Master Harry's notions was his belief in the necessity of his "meddling" so his father put it in the affairs of the town, the state, and the nation, as well as those of the Lossing furniture company.
She had a great opinion of Tommy, a mystery to her mistress for a long time, until one day it leaked out that Tommy "and Master Harry, too," had told her that Tommy's great-grandfather was a lord in the old country. "The family seem to have sunk in the world since, Derry," was Mrs. Carriswood's single remark, as she smiled to herself.
Carriswood's dismay was such that for a second she simply gasped. Were things so far along that such confessions were made? Tommy must be very confident to venture; it was shrewd, very shrewd, to forestall Mrs. Carriswood's sure revelations oh, Tommy was not a politician for nothing!
Yet, surely, it is more likely that his brain was let us not say TURNED, but just a wee bit TILTED, by the joy and triumph of the occasion rather than by Beatoun's port or champagne. But Mrs. Carriswood's word had nothing to do with Tommy's parents, ostensibly, though, in truth, it had everything to do. She said: "Will you dine with us to-morrow, quite en famille, Thomas?"
