Dallow was really too glad for any definite reflexion, even for personal exultation, the vanity of recognising her own large share of the work. Nick was in and was now beside her, tired, silent, vague, beflowered and beribboned, and he had been splendid from beginning to end, beautifully good-humoured and at the same time beautifully clever still cleverer than she had supposed he could be.
I should expect a great deal everything." And Mrs. Dallow emphasised this assertion by the way she rose erect. "If you're riding for a fall, if you're only going in to miss it, you had better stay out." "How can I miss it with you?" the young man smiled. She uttered a word, impatiently but indistinguishably, and he continued: "And even if I do it will have been immense fun."
Nick replied, turning round and looking for his hat. "It's startlingly late; you must be tired." Mrs. Dallow made no response to this, and he pursued his quest, successful only when he reached a duskier corner of the room, to which the hat had been relegated by his cousin's maid. "Mr. Carteret will expect so much if he pays. And so would you." "Yes, I'm bound to say I should!
He was away from his work and his eyes searched it with a shy fondness of hope. They rose, however, as he presently became conscious that the door of the large room opposite him had opened without making a sound and that some one stood upon the threshold. The person on the threshold was Julia Dallow. As soon as he was aware Nick wished he had posted a letter to her the night before.
He had been convinced for some time that one of the next things he should hear would be that Julia Dallow had arranged to marry either Mr. Macgeorge or some other master of multitudes.
"If that's your opinion of her you're not very complimentary to the art he aspires to practise." "He aspires to practise?" she echoed afresh. "Haven't you talked with him about it? Ah you must keep him up to it!" Julia Dallow was conscious for a moment of looking uncomfortable; but it relieved her to be able to demand of her neighbour with a certain manner: "Are you an artist?"
At the hotel in the Rue de Rivoli she had the disappointment of finding that Mrs. Dallow had not called, and also that no telegrams had come. She went in with the girls for half an hour and then straggled out with them again.
"It would take you long, and it would take them longer! All they want to do is to prevent us from doing. On our side we want to prevent them from preventing us. That's about as clearly as we all see it. So on both sides it's a beautiful, lucid, inspiring programme." "I don't believe in you," Mrs. Dallow replied to this, leaning back on her sofa. "I hope not, Julia, indeed!"
"At present let's be purely convivial. Somehow Harsh is such a false note here. Nous causerons de ça." "My dear fellow, you've caught exactly the tone of Mr. Gabriel Nash," Peter Sherringham declared on this. "Who's Mr. Gabriel Nash?" Mrs. Dallow asked. "Nick, is he a gentleman? Biddy says so," Grace Dormer interposed before this inquiry was answered.
For in Paris society was not so pervaded with him, and the women of the profession, in particular, were not in every drawing-room. "I don't know what you mean," Mrs. Dallow said. "I know nothing of any such people."
