It was yu that rang the bell: ye cam against that bag of worsted clues for durning that I hung on the bell-wine yesterday. When onybody happens to touch it the weight o' 't gars the bell ring; I would hae to ta'en off." With this simple and inglorious explanation John rushed to the dining-room where he found Mrs.
"I'm glad," said Ursula Winwood; but her eyes hardened. "And so Lizzie Durning " He took both her elbows in his hands only a Fortunate Youth, with his laughing charm, would have dared to grip Ursula Winwood's elbows and cut her short. "Dearest lady," said he, "to-day there are but two women in the world for me. You are one. The other well it isn't Miss Durning."
"But you must mean something." He threw out his hands. "Are you aware that you've been flirting disgracefully with Lizzle Durning?" "I?" said Paul, clapping a hand to his shirt-front. "You." He smiled his sunny smile into the clear, direct eyes of his dearest lady all the more dear because of the premature white of her hair.
An inspired youth took his place at the Winwoods' dinner table that evening. The elderly, ugly heiress, Miss Durning, concerning whom Miss Winwood had, with gentle malice, twitted him some months before, sat by his side. He sang her songs of Araby and tales of far Cashmere places which in the commonplace way of travel he had never visited.
By the way, shall you want me on Saturday evening?" "No unless it would be to take Miss Durning in to dinner." Now Miss Durning being an elderly, ugly heiress, it pleased Miss Winwood to be quizzical. He looked at her in mock reproof. "Dearest lady that you are, I don't feel safe in your hands just now. I shall dine with the Princess on Saturday."
