Physical weariness, combined with the despair which till then she had refused to acknowledge, overwhelmed her. She was down. He put his hand upon her. "Come, I say! Is it a bargain? I swear I won't bully you. I'm awfully fond of you, Cherry-ripe." She raised herself slowly. It was her last effort. "One thing first," she said, and put his hand away from her.
He experimented sincerely with the Caledonian Cure, acquiring a rich sunset Glow, much affected by half-pay Majors and the elderly Toffs who ride in the Row. He began to wear his Arteries on the outside, just like a true son of Albion. This cherry-ripe Facial Tint proves that the Britisher is the most rugged Chap in the World except when he is in Stockholm.
He was laughing still as he whirled her in among the dancers, refusing to give her any breathing-space. "I want to see a little colour in those cheeks of yours, Cherry-ripe," he said. "What's the Ingleton dragon been doin' to you, my pretty?" She danced with him with a feeling that the net was drawn close about her, and she was powerless to struggle any longer.
She lay there in all her loveliness, for the swoon had not made her pale; her lips were cherry-ripe and her cheeks ruddy and fair; her eyes were closed, but they could hear her breathing quietly; she could not be dead. The king looked sorrowfully upon her. He knew that she would not awake for a hundred years.
He winked at Mrs. Ingleton as he ended, and Sylvia bit her lip. Mrs. Ingleton, however, held out her hand. "Pray sit down, Mr. Preston! You are most welcome. Sylvia, my dear, will you find the cigarettes?" Sylvia took a box from the table and handed it to him. He took it from her, openly pinching her fingers as he did so, and offered it to her instead. "After you, Cherry-ripe!
I stopped here a minute to give you something to keep for me till I come back." "What is it?" He took her chubby cheeks between his hands and laid on her cherry-ripe lips a keepsake which he never reclaimed. She stood watching him from the gate until, as a clump of willows snatched him from her, she thought, "He will go right by where Al is at work.
The path wound below the fairy heath on the incline of the hill; further down still were the fir-woods through which the light shone. "Angel-pet!" "Cherry-ripe!" "Cheeky fellow!" "You're another!" So Lotty shouted the whole time, and the echoes came back so surprisingly distinct that Lotty was sure it must be really the fairies answering her.
These and other perfectly true truths about beauty we discover through our devotion to the one face that we love and we should hardly have discovered them had we begun with the merely cherry-ripe. It is with faces much as it is with books.
Preston grimaced wryly, but he was shrewd enough to grasp and hold such advantage as was his. "Well, failing him, you'll have me, what? That's a promise, is it?" She looked at him again. "If you want me under those conditions." He put his arms about her. "Of course I want you, Cherry-ripe! We'd be awfully happy together, you and I. I'll soon make you forget him, if that's all.
Merton, you'll want a typewriter for your business correspondence, and Miss Blossom typewrites: it is her profession. 'Well, said Merton, 'I am not afraid. I do not care too much for "that garden in her face," for your cherry-ripe sort of young person. If a typewriter is necessary I can bear with her as well as another.
