"You're tremendously gone on him." "Nonsense! Why, I couldn't marry Mr. Chase," she exclaimed, irritable at last. "Don't put such things into my head I mean, don't get such things into that ridiculous old head of yours. Are you forgetting that I am to become Karl's wife in June? You are babbling, Deppy " "Well, let's say no more about it," he said, lying back resignedly. "It's too bad, that's all.
Lady Agnes waved her hand lazily toward the group below, sending a mocking smile to Chase. "The Asiatic plague," she said cheerfully. "The deuce," broke in her husband, not catching her meaning. "Has it really broken out " "Deppy, you are the dumbest creature I know," exclaimed his wife. Chase smiled broadly. "She refers to the newly acquired harem, Lord Deppingham.
"See here," roared Deppingham, red as a lobster, "I won't have you calling me Deppy, confound your " "I'll take it all back, my lord. Slip of the tongue. Please overlook it. But, say, shall I call him up on the 'phone and head off the strike?" "Anything, Mr. Britt, to get back our servants," said Lady Deppingham, who had come up with Mrs. Browne.
"Genevra," she said solemnly, in the end, "take warning from my example. When you once are married, don't trifle with other men not even if you shouldn't love your husband. Sooner or later you'd get tripped up. It doesn't pay, my dear. I never realised until tonight how much I really care for Deppy and I am horribly afraid that I've lost something I can never recover.
She had already burned her fingers and dropped a slice of beechnut bacon on her sweet little morning gown. "Come on, Deppy; let's go up and watch the approach of the enemy." Dolefully they passed out of the culinary realm; it is of record that they never looked into it from that hour forth.
"Goodness, Deppy," said his wife, recognising the symptom, "do you really think there is danger?" "My dear Aggy, who said there was any danger?" he exclaimed, and quickly looked out to sea. "I rather think we'll enjoy it here," he added after a moment's pause, in which he saw that the steamer was getting under way. The Japat company's tug was returning to the pier.
"Permit me to introduce myself. I am Robert Browne." "Oh," said Deppy, as if that did not convey anything to him. Then as an afterthought: "Glad to know you, I'm sure." Still he did not rise, nor did he extend his hand. For a moment young Browne waited, a dull red growing in his temples.
He will boast of this flirtation until the end of his days." "Aggie's had dozens of men in love with her really in love," he protested feebly. "She's not " "They've come and gone and she's still the same old Agnes and you're the same old Deppy. I'm not thinking of you or Aggie. It's Drusilla Browne." "I see. Thanks for the confidence you have in Aggie. I daresay I know how Drusilla feels.
Her dear schoolmate of the old days in Paris her chum of the dear Sacred Heart Convent when it flourished in the Boulevard des Invalides her roommate up to the day when that institution was forced to leave Paris for less unfriendly fields! "In her uncle's yacht, Deppy the big one that came to Cowes last year, don't you know? Of course, you do. Don't look so dazed.
I'd be obliged to do that in order to give Bobby grounds for a divorce as soon as the estate is settled. There's a whole lot more to Mr. Britt's plan that I can't remember.
