She would have been the last to yield it unreservedly to a man untrusted for the character she worshipped. But she could have given it to Dartrey, despite his love of another, because it was her soul, without any of the cravings, except to bestow.
I am not bad in reality; I love goodness, I know. I cling to the thought of you, as my rescue, I declare. Please, let me hear: if it's not more than "good day" and your initials on a post-card. The letter brought Nesta in person to her. Could there be confidences on the subject of Mrs. Marsett with Captain Dartrey?
Captain Dartrey Fenellan has shown me, and says, the French are our masters at it. He bowed constrainedly to mademoiselle. 'You box, M. Skepsey! she said. His melancholy increased: 'Much discouragement from Government, Society! If ladies... but I do not venture. They are not against Games. But these are not a protection... to them, when needed; to the country.
"I suppose you think I have no right to be frivolling in these very serious times, but I am afraid I am rather an offender when the humour takes me. You kept your word to Mr. Dartrey, I see?" Tallente nodded. "I came to town yesterday." "I must hear all the news, please," she insisted. "Will you come and see me to-morrow afternoon?
He walked home later with Dartrey, clinging to the man with a new sympathy and drinking in with queer content some measure of his happiness. Dartrey himself seemed a little ashamed of its exuberance. "If it weren't that Nora is so entirely a disciple of our cause, Tallente," he said, "I think I should feel a little like the man in the 'Pilgrim's Progress, who stopped to pick flowers by the way.
Where shall I put you down?" "In Chelsea, if you would," Tallente begged. "We are only just turning off the Embankment. I want to see Mrs. Dartrey." Horlock gave an order through the tube. "I am going down to Belgrave Square," he said, "then I am going back to Downing Street for to-night. To-morrow a dutiful journey to Buckingham Palace, Saturday a long week-end.
Captain Dartrey was on his way to the station, to meet a gentleman from London, Miss Nesta. He carried a stick a remarkable stick he had shown to me in the morning, and he has given it me now. He says, he has done his last with it. He seems to have some of Matilda Pridden's ideas about fighting, when it's over. He was glad to be rid of the stick, he said. 'But who attacked you?
We were married the day before yesterday." "That is why I played truant," Dartrey put in, "although we only went as far as Tunbridge Wells." Tallente held out a hand to each. For a moment the tragedy in his own life was forgotten. "I can't wish you happiness, because you have found it," he said. "Wise and wonderful people! Let me see if your coffee is what I should expect, Nora," he went on.
Dartrey knew his little man and laughed, after warning him that his English would want many lessons before they stomached the mixture of discipline and pleasure.
It was noticeable that whilst he was almost fulsome in his congratulations to Nora and overcordial to Dartrey, he scarcely glanced at Tallente and confined himself to a nod by way of greeting. "Couldn't believe it when you told me over the telephone," he said. "I congratulate you both heartily. What about Leeds, Dartrey?" "Splendid!" "It's the end, I suppose?" "Absolutely!
