As it was, he spared no pains to make me miserable; and as I was only a helpless little devil of a girl, he succeeded to his heart's content. Uncle Reginald will try to do exactly the same to-morrow, he will come and bully you, instead of apologizing as he ought. See if he doesnt!"
Miss Francis startled me with a laugh resembling the burst of machinegun fire. "Someone's been pulling your leg, poor terrified Maecenas. Or else youre befuddled with too many Thrilling Wonder Scientifictions. Pipes into the stratosphere! Watersupply piped in through concrete walls! Doesnt your mad inventor know the seeds would find these apertures in an instant?"
CONRAD. Well, you have something better to teach her now, at all events. FRANKLYN. Yes: but it is too late. She doesn't trust me now. She doesn't talk about such things to me. She doesnt read anything I write. She never comes to hear me lecture. CONRAD. I must have a talk to her. FRANKLYN. Perhaps she will listen to you. You are not her father. CONRAD. I sent her my last book.
"What is that to me? He doesnt want me to go and live with him, does he?" "You quite misunderstand me. No such idea ever entered " "There! go on. I only said that to get a rise out of you, Doctor. How do you make out that I should gain by leaving this house?"
We must have a counteragent which communicates its lethal effect to a larger area of the Grass than is actually touched by it or at very least makes the affected spot untenable for future growth. What help is it for F to rub her hands smugly and say, "We're on the right track, all right"? Weve been on the right track for months, but the train doesnt get anywhere. October 12: Columbus Day.
I shall begin looking about for a new steward. Hear the Tharios are in London. Grass reported beyond the Vosges. July 21: Usual aftermath of F's experiment. Not a sign of vegetation left. In the face of this, simply maddening that she doesnt get into action directly against the Grass. Got no satisfaction from her by direct questioning.
Let's have your name first. Don't be bashful. Haha. Gentleman doesnt care to give his name. Well, that's all right, quite all right. Just what do you think of this phenomenon? How does it impress you? Are you disturbed by the sight of this riot of vegetation? Right into the microphone...."
But what I want to shew is, that only three people believed that I was in earnest; and those three were prejudiced." "I wish you had enlightened Constance, and deceived all the rest of the world, instead. No doubt I was wrong, very wrong. I am very sorry." "Pshaw! It doesnt matter. It will all blow over some day. Hush, I hear the garden gate opening.
But I believe you delight in stiffness and ceremony. Will you not come upstairs?" "I wish to speak to you privately. First, I have to apologize to you for what passed last night." "Pray dont, Sholto: it doesnt matter. I am afraid we were rude to you." "Pardon me. It is I who am in fault.
"I am not much reassured by those who do know about him." "And who may they be? The only person you know who has seen much of him is Marian, and she doesnt speak ill of people behind their backs." "Marian takes rather a rose-colored view of everybody, Marmaduke included. You should talk to Nelly about him." "I knew it. I knew, the minute you began to talk, who had set you on."
