"You needn't go on too fast," said the latter, turning to her mother. "I haven't made up my mind yet. Charlie's looks are all right, but he ain't over and above steady, and Ben is steady, but he ain't much to look at." "What does your 'art say?" inquired the sentimental Mr. Dowson. Neither lady took the slightest notice. "Charlie Foss is too larky," said Mrs.
"People on the beach smile," resumed the other. "They "It don't take much to make some people laugh," said Miss Dowson, with bitterness. "At fourteen she and a boy next door but seven both have the mumps." "And why not?" demanded Miss Dowson with great warmth. "Why not?" "I'm only reading what I see in your hand," said the other.
Was Mr. Rose there that night?" "Mr. Rose?" For a moment Leonard, lost in dreams of the past, stared uncomprehendingly. Then he pulled himself together vigorously. "No, Mr. Rose was not there in those days. He he came on the scene much later than that." "Did he? Was he also a friend of Mrs. Rose's cousins?" "Oh, no." Mr. Dowson became emphatic. "Nothing of that sort.
"Yes, my lord," rather breathless in her hurry to speak before she heard the high heels tapping on the staircase again. "And one that's a good woman as well as clever, if I may take the liberty. A good one if " "If a good one would take the place?" Dowson did not attempt refutation or apology. She knew better. He said no more, but sauntered out of the room.
Then, too, she would be wronging Leonard Dowson; since to go away with him would lead him to suppose a degree of affection on Toni's part which was in reality non-existent; but Toni was not thinking of Dowson in this matter. There is no woman so absolutely ruthless towards the mass of mankind as the woman who loves one man completely.
"Tell your skipper that if so be as he wants to apologize for stealing my coal I shall be at home at tea at five o'clock." He jerked his thumb in the direction of Miss Pilbeam and winked with slow deliberation. "She'll be there, too," he added. "Savvy?" Mr. Dowson sat by the kitchen fire smoking and turning a docile and well- trained ear to the heated words which fell from his wife's lips.
The party even mounted to the upper story to go through the bedrooms, and, it was while they were doing this, that Coombe chose to linger behind with Dowson. He remained entirely expressionless for a few moments. Dowson did not in the least gather whether he meant to speak to her or not. But he did. "You meant," he scarcely glanced at her, "that she was old enough for a governess."
After my pore dear wife's death I'm to marry again; a young woman with money and stormy brown eyes." Mrs. Dowson sprang from her chair and stood over him quivering with passion. "How dare you?" she gasped. "You you've been drinking." "I've 'ad two arf-pints," said her husband, solemnly. "I shouldn't 'ave 'ad the second only I felt so miserable. I know I sha'n't be 'appy with a young woman." Mrs.
She'll get over it if we give her something else to think of." The good woman went to one of the large toy shops and bought a beautiful doll, a doll's house, and some picture books. When they were brought up to the Day Nursery, Robin was asleep after a rather long walk, which Dowson had decided would be good for her.
"I don't see anything to laugh at," returned Miss Dowson. "Fancy five years for bigamy! Fancy the disgrace of it!" "But you're talking as if I was going to do it," objected Mr. Foss.
