"Is that all you have to say about her?" cried Doreen, betraying her disappointment. "Why, a month ago she was the nicest and the jolliest and the everythingest girl you had ever met." "He's seen somebody else since then," remarked the observant Queenie, in her dry, little voice. "When he was in town yesterday, perhaps." Max looked at his sister with a curious expression. Was she right?
One of those radiant creatures who explain the cult of womanhood; who make it difficult even for sober-minded, middle-aged men and matrons to realize that this is nothing but flesh and blood like themselves; one of those beautiful creatures who claim worship as a right and who repay it with kindness and brightness and sweetness and laughter. No house was ever dull that held Doreen Wedmore.
Anyhow, Philip, you may as well make up your mind to accept Doreen as a pis otter for Tony and do it gracefully, my dear man! Mark my words, marriage will be the making of the boy. Every man ought to be married." "I wish you'd held that opinion thirty years ago, Susan," retorted Sir Philip. "I suppose" he hesitated, his eyes curiously soft "it's too late in the day now?"
"Well, in the first place, after being almost extravagant in his devotion to my daughter, Doreen, he now neglects her outrageously comes down very seldom, writes short letters or none. Now, my daughter is not the sort of girl that a sane man would neglect," added Doctor Wedmore, proudly.
'We all make mistakes; I've made some mistake in this problem, and I can't get it right, said Doreen, taking out her algebra. 'I can tell you how to do that, said Vava, for it was one Mr. Jones had helped her with; and the two were soon deep in algebra, which lasted them until they got to the City. 'What a short journey! said Vava as they alighted at the City station.
"Same as always. You must let me meet Lady Doreen when she comes back from Switzerland, and" smiling "I'll hand over my charge to her. Have you been good lately, by the way?" He flushed, and his eyes grew restless. "I lost a bit at Monte," he admitted. "I was winning pots of money at first, and then all at once my luck turned and I lost the lot."
She came up by the train arriving at 9.20, and as the Whartons were very punctual, and arrived at this time, they almost invariably met her; but this morning, although she was almost certain Doreen had seen her, the latter walked on without turning her head. But Vava knew Doreen too well to believe she did not wish to see her, and ran after her. 'Doreen! Doreen! wait a minute! she panted.
I call it playing it low down; but you're not going to annoy Vava Wharton, who is not to blame one bit, and if you do I'll just go straight to the head-mistress and tell her, and we'll see what she says about honour, announced Doreen.
I wish you would tell me about it when I do; you talk so soft and ladylike, observed Doreen. Vava laughed. 'I! Why, the girls couldn't understand me when I first came, she protested. 'Oh well, there were some words you used that we'd never heard before, but I like it now.
Clergymen never accommodate themselves to anything or anybody." The Reverend Lisle Lindsay did at last look rather disconcerted. Mischievous Doreen saw her triumph and made the most of it. "So that settles the matter, doesn't it? I can't accommodate myself; you can't either. What could possibly come of a union like that?"
