Suddenly the pair stopped. "I must get back to the House," she heard the handsome man say. "Well, think it over. Try to see it in that light," said Disney, holding out his hand. The other took it, and then turned away.
She was young several years short of forty and very handsome. Her manner was quiet and well-dowered with repressed humor. He was introduced to Lady Flora Disney, and found himself regarded with unmistakable interest and lurking amusement. It was no effort to remember that Mr Disney had married a daughter of Lord Bewdley's.
Several of the men were like that; there was some function later on, Mina learnt from an easy-mannered youth who sat by her and seemed bored with the party. Disney came in late, in his usual indifferently fitting morning clothes, snatching an hour from the House, in the strongest contrast to the fair sumptuousness of his wife.
After some time she said, "Gusterson, do you remember the Doré illustrations to the Inferno? Can you visualize the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch with the hordes of proto-Freudian devils tormenting people all over the farmyard and city square? Did you ever see the Disney animations of Moussorgsky's witches' sabbath music?
Under the floor of the old barn on the Disney place he found about half the stuff that was taken, candy by the wholesale, cigarettes, two revolvers, and even a pair of choice hockey skates." "About half you are saying, Thad; then it looks to me as if there must have been just two of the thieves, for they had divided things equally between them."
'I might walk home tonight along the beach, he reflected 'yes, and take a look there will be light enough for that at the ruins of which Disney was talking. I don't exactly know where they are, by the way; but I expect I can hardly help stumbling on them.
"Well, what do you want?" he asked. Lady Evenswood was a woman of tact. "Really," she said, "it can't be done in this way, of course. If anything is to come before you, it must come before you regularly. I know that, Robert." The Imp had no tact. "Oh, no," she cried. "Do listen now, Mr Disney. Do promise to help us now!" Tact is not always the best thing in the world.
"What about Peter Disney?" asked Marks. "Oh, ahone, ahone! he lies out there stark and cold," answered Pat, pointing to the other end of the island. As soon as Pat got well enough to be left for a little while, with Tommy to look after him and keep up the fire, Marks and Tony paddled round to where he pointed.
This was blank ingratitude to Mr Disney, and to Theo too; but our friends can seldom escape from paying for our misfortunes. "Those people have got hold of him. We've lost him. That's the end of it," she cried. Cecily had nothing to say; she leant back in a limp forlornness while Mina expatiated on this doleful text.
If indeed there is no rule, no standard, all must be accident and chance. If there is a standard, what is it? Memoir of T. Brand Hollis, by J. Disney, p. 32.
