A flutter of skirts and a patter of feet betokened that the girl came running back to join the smoker. "Cressie," I heard her say in an eager, lowered tone, "who WAS he?" "Who was who?" "That DEVASTATING creature in white flannels!" The man chuckled. "Matinee sort of devastator what? Monte Cristo hair, noble profile "
German, and Hun, and the Islandrie, Who routed the Frenchman at famed Cressie, When the rose changed its hue with the fleur-de-lis; With the Roman, and Lombard, and Piedmontese, And the dark-haired son of the southern seas. Tira, tirala more near and near Down the steep see them sweep; rank by rank they appear!
"These other people are MOST painful to a girl of my intelligence, but I cannot linger by your side; untruth long ago lost its interest for me, and I prefer to believe Mr. Jean Ferret if that is the gentleman's name. I'd join Miss Ward and Cressie Ingle yonder, but Cressie WOULD be indignant! I shall soothe my hurt with SWEETEST airs. Adieu."
"I think she's going to take Cressie Ingle," she said dreamily, with the air of one whose thoughts have been far, far away. "It looks preponderously like it. She's been teetertottering these AGES and AGES between you " "Between whom?" "You and Mr. Ingle," she replied, not altering her tone in the slightest.
"But she's all for her brother, of course, and though you're his friend, Ingle is a personage in the world they court, and among the MULTITUDINOUS things his father left him is an art magazine, or one that's long on art or something of that sort I don't know just what so altogether it will be a good thing for DEAREST Mr. Ward. She likes Cressie, of course, though I think she likes you better "
