He saw his light flash on, while other squares were lighting. When the voting was finished, there were three such red squares in a nearly solid panel of green. "The resolution is tabled," Lesseur announced needlessly. Harding stood up and began moving towards the rear where Edmonds sat. The junior senator was too stunned for thought.
All this sugar and honey however did not make the mission of Envoy Edmonds less bitter to the States. They heard that he was going about through half the cities of the obedient Netherlands in a sort of triumphal procession, and it was the general opinion of the politicians and financiers of the continent that peace between Spain and England was as good as made.
If he had no intimates other than Russell Edmonds, it was because he felt no need of them. He had found Io again. Prophecies had all failed in the matter of his rise. He thought, with pardonable exultation, of how he had confuted them, one after another.
"Good gracious, if Nina Edmonds and Fannie Mears aren't coming, too," whispered Bessie, glancing back over her shoulder. "Wonder why they want to tag along?" If she had only known it, Nina and Fannie were feeling decidedly left out of things. They longed to go with the high school girls who persistently ignored them and they were not at all popular with their own classmates.
They depicted the adventures, mischievous, predatory, or criminal, of a pair of young hopefuls whose physiognomies and postures were genuinely ludicrous. "Did you draw these?" asked Banneker in surprise, for the draughtsmanship was expert. "No. Hired a kid artist to do 'em. I furnished the idea." "Oh, you furnished the idea, did you?" queried Edmonds. "And where did you get it?"
Her manner suggested that she meant to thoroughly investigate the matter, and Edmonds, who would have greatly preferred to get rid of her, decided that as this appeared impossible he would appeal to her cupidity. The Creightons were somewhat grasping folks, and he had heard of her engagement to Hawtrey. "If you will permit me I'll try to explain," he said.
Quite insensibly Marrineal withdrew from the conversation, sipping his coffee and listening with an effect of effortless amenity. "If we had a newspaper here that wasn't tied hard and fast, politically!" cried Edmonds presently. Marrineal fingered a specially fragrant cigar. "But a newspaper must be tied to something, mustn't it?" he queried. "Otherwise it drifts."
He thought that it was a very difficult admission for the girl to make, and that she had made it suggested that Hawtrey might become involved in more serious difficulties. He had also a strong suspicion of what they were likely to be. "Sally," questioned Hastings quietly, "you are afraid of Edmonds making him do something you would not like?"
Envoy Edmonds was now equally and completely in the dark as to the mission of Varenne, and informed his Government that the only result of it was that the secret agent to Spain was favoured, through the kindness of Mendoza, with a distant view of Philip II. with his son and daughter at their devotions in the chapel of the Escorial.
"No, Mother isn't to be asked a single question for a year," Doctor Hugh announced firmly. "We'll settle our problems without bothering her. Rosemary is not to meddle with her hair that's flat." "Oh, Hugh, I want to bob it!" insisted Rosemary. "Ever so many of the girls do not just Nina Edmonds, but half the girls in school. I don't see why you are so cross about it. Can't I get it cut to-morrow?
