"I couldn't help liking Cayley in a kind of way, you know." "He's a clever devil. If you hadn't turned up just when you did, he would never have been found out." "I wonder. It was ingenious, but it's often the ingenious thing which gets found out. The awkward thing from Cayley's point of view was that, though Mark was missing, neither he nor his body could ever be found.

Lady Cayley's face shone with the illumination of her memory. "So we did. Just after you were married?" She paused discreetly. "You haven't brought Mrs. Majendie with you?" "N no er she isn't very well. She doesn't go out much at night." "Indeed? I did hear, didn't I, that you had a little " She paused, if anything, more discreetly than before. "A little girl. Yes. That history is a year old now."

Her own eye had gained in meaning and her mouth in sensuous charm; while her figure had acquired a quality to which she herself gave the name of "presence." Other women of forty might go about looking like incarnate elegies on their dead youth; Lady Cayley's "presence" was as some great ode, celebrating the triumph of maturity. She took the place Mrs.

Thinking it over afterwards he was fairly certain that he had heard the shot, but it had not made any impression on him at the time. He had come to the house from the Waldheim end and consequently had seen nothing of Robert Ablett, who had been a few minutes in front of him. From this point his evidence coincided with Cayley's.

"We shall miss them," said Bill sadly, "but 'tis better so." There were two problems in front of them: first, the problem of getting out of the house without being discovered by Cayley, and secondly, the problem of recovering whatever it was which Cayley dropped into the pond that night. "Let's look at it from Cayley's point of view," said Antony.

This story is so unpleasant to Tanqueray that, to get out of the conversation, he returns to his writing; but still he cannot help listening to Cayley's comments on George Orreyd's "disappearance"; and at last the situation becomes so intolerable to him that he purposely leaves the room, bidding the other two "Tell Cayley the news."

Henson's scheme, and of Sir George Cayley's, to the interruption of surface in the independent vanes. He made the first public experiment at Willis's Rooms, but afterward removed his model to the Adelaide Gallery. "Like Sir George Cayley's balloon, his own was an ellipsoid. Its length was thirteen feet six inches height, six feet eight inches.

Suppose Cayley was so unsuspicious that, as soon as they had gone upstairs, he had dived down into the passage and set about his business. Suppose, even now, he was at the pond, dropping into it that secret of his. Good heavens, what fools they had been! How could Antony have taken such a risk? Put yourself in Cayley's place, he had said. But how was it possible? They weren't Cayley.

The declaration of war was postponed. Antony lay there, watching Cayley into bed. After all it was only polite to return Cayley's own solicitude earlier in the night. Politeness demanded that one should not disport oneself on the pond until one's friends were comfortably tucked up. Meanwhile Bill was getting tired of waiting.

Anne had promised to let me escort her, the Cayley's brougham was a small one, in which three were emphatically a crowd, and the drive from Chelsea to the Strand, in a hansom, would provide me with the opportunity I had been wanting for days past, of putting my fate to the test, and asking her to be my wife.
