Agcept!" came promptly from two or three. "Any oppose'? There is not any oppose' Seraphine Marcel you'll be so good to pazz those rif-reshment?" "Tis gone to the pewblisher?" M. De l'Isle, about to enter his double gate, had paused. In his home, overhead, a clock was striking five of the tenth day after that second reading in the Castanados' parlor. The energetic inquiry was his.
Partly for the little boy's sake three days were let pass before Aline made her announcement. There was but one place for it the Castanados' parlor. All the coterie were there the De l'Isles, even Ovide butler pro tem. "You will have refreshments," he said, with happiest equanimity; "I will serve them"; and the whole race problem vanished.
The pair exchanged a smile which seemed to the parting guest to say: "After all he's not so utterly deficient!" Again the Castanados' dainty parlor, more dainty than ever. No one there was in evening dress, though with its privacy "modified as the Castanados pleased," it had gathered a company of seven. Chester, not yet come, would make an eighth. Madame was in her special chair.
A wonderful sight she was, pausing in the open gate, with the little high-fenced garden at her back, a street-lamp lighting her face. Chester harked back to that first manuscript. It "ought not to wait another week," he declared. "No," monsieur said, "and since we all have read that egcept only you." Chester looked to mademoiselle: "Then I suppose I might read it with the Castanados alone."
Both Castanados seemed to take note of it as if it had come since, and she to be willing they should note it. "No," they said, "Mme. Alexandre had gone with Dubroca and his wife to that movie of Sarah." "And also with M. Beloiseau?" asked Mélanie, with a lurking smile, as she sat down so fondly close to madame as to leave both her small hands in one of her friend's.
Corinne and Yvonne, dingy even by starlight, were in one of them Conti. Now they turned into Royal, and after them turned Chester and Aline. Presently the four entered the parlor of the Castanados. Their coming made its group eleven, and all being seated Castanado rose. After the proper compliments "They were called," he said, "to receive " "And discuss," Chester put in.
When they returned to the ladies, "I want you to talk with my wife," said Mr. Smith, and Chester obeyed. Yet soon he was at mademoiselle's side again and she was saying in a dropped voice: "To-morrow when you're at the Castanados' to read, so privately, would you be willing for Mme. De l'Isle to be there just madame alone?" Oh, but men are dull! "I'd be honored!" he said.
Why if not to warn him away from a sentiment which was growing in him like a balloon and straining his heart-strings to hold it to its proper moorings? Now the two cars let out their passengers at the De l'Isle gates and at the door of the Castanados. Madame of the latter name, with her spouse heaving under one arm and Chester under the other, while Mme.
With his heart in his throat Chester turned away, resumed his walk, and passed into the marble halls where justice dreamt she dwelt. Up and down one of these, little traversed so early, he paced, with a question burning in his breast, which every new sigh of mortification fanned hotter: Had she seen him? this time? those other times? And did those Castanados suspect? Was that why Mme.
At the Castanados', the second evening after, Chester was welcomed into a specially pretty living-room. But he found three other visitors. Madame, seated on a sort of sofa for one, made no effort to rise. Her face, for all its breadth, was sweet in repose and sweeter when she spoke or smiled.
