"Yes," said Lucy. "Please introduce him to me." Lucy longed to say, "It will tire him; I can't do it." She longed to give any sort of excuse, but none would come to her lips. She was forced to take Rosamund up to Mr. Merriman. "This is Rosamund Cunliffe," she said, "and she wants to know you, father." "I am very much pleased to see you, Miss Cunliffe," said Mr.
Now, tell me, how many of the ship's company are with Turnbull, and how many are there against him?" "Well, first of all, there's Turnbull 'isself; that's one," answered the steward. "Then there's Burton, Royston, Hampton, and Cunliffe, the four A.B.s; that's five. And, lastly, there's the cook; 'e makes six. Then, on our side, there's Mr Marshall, the mate; that's one. I'm another; that's two.
Barton came up and told me that Mr. Cunliffe was in the parlour. I had commenced my toilet in rather a leisurely fashion, but now I made haste to join him, and ran downstairs as quickly as possible, carrying my fur-lined cloak over my arm. 'You look very nice, my dear, he said, in quite fatherly fashion. 'Have I ever seen that gown before?
For Rosamund Cunliffe, without making herself in the least disagreeable, without saying one single rude thing, yet managed to take the lead, and that so effectively that even Lucy herself found that she could not help following in her train.
On the other hand, Lord Cunliffe and his colleagues argue that the main effect of putting the two departments into one would be to place deposits with the Bank of England in the same position as regards convertibility into gold as is now held by the note.
"Father, aren't you tired? Miss Cunliffe, you are tiring father," said Lucy at last, running up to the door and trying to speak calmly. "No, my dear," said her father. "On the contrary, I am intensely interested. You must tell me that story again, Miss Cunliffe. Would you like to come and see my library?" The two went off together, and Lucy felt almost as though she must burst into tears.
'No, you are too real, too much in earnest, to be satisfied with that sort of life. Mr. Cunliffe used to tell us so. And I seemed to understand it all before I saw you. I always felt as though I knew you, even before we met. I hope, hesitating a little, 'that we shall see a great deal of you. I know Giles wishes it. 'You cannot come here too often, Miss Hamilton.
Cunliffe agrees with me, that it was not Eric who presented that cheque. The clerk told Giles that the young man had a scar across his cheek and a slight cut, though he was decidedly good-looking. But Giles refused to believe this. He says the clerk made a mistake about the last.
'I shall take care that you are properly punished, for neither Cunliffe nor Tudor shall be asked to meet you. Etta was sure you would like one or both to come, but I put my veto on it at once. 'Then you were very disagreeable, I returned laughingly. 'I wanted Uncle Max very much. But he only shook his head at me good-humouredly, and scolded me for my want of amiability.
'Indeed, I do not wish to intrude upon your trouble, Miss Hamilton, I returned, colouring at this repulse. But she took my hand and pressed it gently. 'You must not be hurt with me. I have never spoken to any one about Eric. Mr. Cunliffe knows. But he he is different, and he was very kind to me.
