"I see you have not heard of our gypsy plan," he answered, and at once proceeded to detail it. She was not so much delighted as he expected, but a pretty, lucid gleam came into her eyes at the mention of Claremont. "I shall be glad to see your home," she said quietly. "I have heard so much of its beauty and its antiquity."
The Kents and Leiningens if I may speak so familiarly of Royal and Serene Highnesses when away from the quiet home in Kensington, spent much time at lovely Claremont as guests of the dear brother and Uncle Leopold. They seem also to have travelled a good deal in England, visiting watering-places and in houses of the nobility, but never to have gone over to the Continent.
Alone, but rather in reverence and revery than sadness, I made all those little excursions upon which we had been so happy during the days of our honey-moon. I made a point of feeding the animals in the park, of dining at Claremont I even stood for a long time before the fruit shop that is near the Grand Central. But I was too old to feel much. So it seemed.
I was noticing that suit the other night; saw you up at Claremont " "Couple of pals of mine when I'm in town " "That white line against the blue comes out great in the day time. Cut well, too. I see you got one those patent neck-capes that prevents wrinkling below the coat-collar. And extension safety pockets, I suppose?"
"You know, I was reading an article in some paper the other day, by an assistant master at Winchborough, called Ferrers. He was cursing the whole system. I showed it to Claremont, just for a rag; told him I thought it was rather good. The old fool looked at it for some time, and then said: 'Well, Betteridge, don't form your style on this. It is very perfervid stuff.
He placed his hat and a light bamboo stick across the center table, obviously oppressed with a sense of close quarters. "Tell you what! Suppose we taxi over to Claremont. It's mild enough to sit out on the terrace." She met him with her levelest gaze. "Aren't you going to be comfortable here?" "Of course I am. There you go, getting sensitive right off.
They spent the Queen's birthday in private at Claremont a place endeared to her by the happiest associations of her childhood, and very pleasant to him because of its country attractions.
I knew intimately those friends of Miss Baillie who are said to have been present, and I never heard a word of it from them probably because they regarded the story as ridiculous. From the Comte de Paris Claremont, le 23 mai.
The other day Claremont had me up and asked me why my work had been so bad lately. I told him that the house matches were so exciting that I could not concentrate my mind on anything else. He looked at me vacantly and said: 'Well, are they really? I don't know whom they excite; they don't excite me."
It was Gordon who finally devised a plan. "Please, sir," he said one day, "don't you think we should find history much more interesting if we could bring in maps." "Well, perhaps it would," said Claremont sleepily. "I am sure the form is very much indebted to you for your kind thought. Anyone who wants to, may bring in a map."
