"From a man who was one of his intimates, and has reformed; and from having myself been in the aviation field the day of the tragedy." "You heard Clephane's remark?" "I did." "Hum!" said Harleston slowly. "A man of Clephane's habits will accuse anyone of anything at certain times. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't blame Mrs. Clephane, nor any other woman, for chucking such a husband out of the boat.
"The mere mention of graft puts me to instant flight," she remarked. "And naturally even the suggestion of a crime is equally repugnant to you," Mrs. Clephane observed. "'As a general proposition," Mrs. Spencer quoted. "And general propositions are best proved by exceptions, n'est-ce pas?" was the quick yet drawling answer. The two women's eyes met. "I trust, Mrs.
Clephane. I've told you what I shouldn't, because well, because I'm sure that you will not use it to my disadvantage." She traced the figures on her gown with the tips of her fingers, and for awhile was silent "It's all so involved," she reflected; "such wheels within wheels, I am completely mystified. I'm lost in the maze.
"I think he will be a lucky fellow who gets you," I said, and meant every word, as I looked at her well in the moonlight, with her shining eyes, and curling lip, and fighting flush. "Thank you, Captain Clephane!" And I thought I was to be honoured with a contemptuous courtesy; but I was not.
So I must accept your argument, and your conclusions, and be content with my duty and" with a sudden ravishing smile "if I best you, Guy, you will have only yourself to blame. I won't send Mrs. Clephane a present, nor will I wish you joy of her, nor her of you; but you won't look for it, and she would think it somewhat presumptuous in me to assume to know you.
"Then there will be nothing on us, unless the Clephane letter is translated and implicates me by name or Paris resorts to cable. If it were not for France's meddling, it would be ridiculously simple so far as we are concerned; everything would be up to the man." "And you do not know who the man is, nor what he is about to betray?" Marston asked.
You may be sure that the moment you left him he dispatched a cable to Paris reciting the facts, so that the Foreign Office could judge whether to cable the letter or to dispatch it by messenger. And he has the reply hours ago." Clephane, that your duty is done now, unless the Marquis calls on you for assistance. You have performed your part " "Very poorly," she interjected.
"I wasn't going to give you away," I said, stolidly, though with no conscious parade of virtue. "Yet, you see, it would have made no difference if you had! Did you seriously think it would make much difference, Captain Clephane, to a really chivalrous young man?" I bowed my head to the well-earned taunt. "But," she went on, "there was no need for you to speak to Mr. Evers.
"Well," said Henfrey viciously, "if you want to go through the farce of playing one round and making idiots of yourselves, you'll have to wait a bit. You've got a bye in the first round." Clephane told the news to Mansfield after tea.
"I suppose they had to try him, as he was the senior wing three-quarter of the second, but he's no earthly good." "He only got into the second because he's big," was Robinson's opinion. "A man who's big and strong can always get his second colours." "Even if he's a funk, like Rand-Brown," said Clephane. He simply didn't attempt to tackle him.
