Dyce reflected rather nervously that he would have to make a speech a practical speech; he must define his political attitude; philosophical generalities would not serve in the public room at the Saracen's Head. Well, he had a fortnight to think about it. And here was an excuse for calling on Lady Ogram, of which he would avail himself at once.
She took from her pocket two large pods of red pepper, which looked exactly alike, but the end of one had been cut out around the stem, then neatly fitted back, and held in place by some colorless cement. Beckoning Beryl to follow, Dyce went closer to the window, and with the aid of her teeth drew out the stem.
Go home, and tell Dyce to give you some catnip tea, and tie you to a chair," laughed Mr. Churchill. "You'll laugh t'other side of your mouth, Mars Alfred, when you see that awful sight up yonder. Ole Marster has come back, to clare the name of his grandchile, for he and his murderer is a wrastling, and it ain't no 'oman, it's a man! A tall, pretty man, with beard on his face." Mr.
"How could I doubt it?" exclaimed the lady, with her most expressive smile. "Do you allow me to make known the the renewal of your engagement?" "Certainly," Dyce answered, beaming upon her. Mrs. Toplady rose. "I am so happy to have been the first to bring you the news. But it a little surprises me that you had not learnt it already from Miss Bride, who knew all about the will two days ago."
"Yes," answered Dyce, "and I think it a mistake from beginning to end." "How so?" Lord Dymchurch was about thirty, slight in build, rather languid in his movements, conventionally dressed but without any gloss or scrupulous finish, and in manners peculiarly gentle.
"If you knew how it pains me!" she murmured, stealing a glance at Lashmar. "But of course it won't make any difference between us." "Oh, I hope not. Why should it?" said Dyce, absently. "Now I'll tell you something that has happened since I saw you last." "Yes yes your own news! Oh, I'm afraid it is something bad!" "Perhaps not. I rather think I'm at a crisis in my life probably the crisis.
The callow youth knows his power. Anybody else in favor of the Peppers?" aloud, and looking at the company. "Don't ask us if we like the Peppers," cried two young ladies simultaneously. "They are our especial and particular pets, every one of them." "The Peppers win," said Hamilton Dyce, looking full into Mrs. Chatterton's contemptuous face. "I'm glad to record my humble self as their admirer.
Dyce was telling her something which must have been very interesting, over in the corner. When at last the summons reached her, she came hurrying over with very pink cheeks. "Oh, what can I do to help?" "We've been calling and calling for ever so long," said Joel, in a very injured tone, for he had added his voice when he saw that things were waiting for Miss Taylor. "Oh, have you, Joel?
"We have looked at houses until we are fairly distracted, Aunt Marthe and I. One had a cellar kitchen, and I am not going to have my good Dyce buried in a cellar kitchen; and one had no bathroom, and another was all stairs; and they are all nothing but brick and mortar with a scrap of sky between. I want trees and water and fields. The poor souls have enough of masonry in their daily lives."
Gallantry, smiling at Lashmar with much amiability, "but I really can't see why this lesson couldn't have been just as well taught by the measure that I proposed." "Let me show you why I think not," replied Dyce, who was now enjoying the sound of his own periods, and felt himself inspired by the general attention.
