She hasn't written me a line; she has sent me no address; I don't know what to do; but, as I have said before, I am going to save the things at least a year and see whether some day Eileen won't think of something she wants to do with them. Clean the rooms and I will order Marian's things sent."
For a while, as they rode, Rosamund was characteristically amusing, sailing blandly over the shoals of scandal, though Eileen never suspected it wittily gay at her own expense, as well as at others, flitting airily from topic to topic on the wings of a self-assurance that becomes some women if they know when to stop.
You needn't bother any more about a cheque." Eileen was surprised and her face showed it; and she was also relieved. That too her face showed. "I always knew," she said lightly, "that I had a little sister with a remarkably level head and good common sense.
In a little, Foyle had finished and sent for Green. The chief inspector came with a report. "A woman brought the advertisement to Fleet Street, sir," he said. "Blake has just telephoned up that he and Lambert are keeping her under observation. He 'phoned earlier that Lady Eileen Meredith had been there." "Yes, I suppose so. What does the advertisement say?" "He couldn't tell me on the 'phone.
And thus, when the first awe and interest of the strange life receded, Eileen was left standing apart as on a little rock, criticising, satirising, and even circulating verses among the few cronies who were not sneaks.
As she closed the front door she cried up the stairway: "Eileen, are you there?" "Yes," answered a rather sulky voice from above. Linda ascended, two steps at a bound. "Thank you over and over, old thing!" she cried as she raced down the hallway. "Behold me! I never did have a more becoming dress, and Katy loaned me money, till my income begins, to get shoes and a little scuff hat to go with it.
Eileen ran to the potato bag in the corner and took out four good-sized potatoes. "There's but three of us," she said to herself, "but Larry will surely be wanting two, himself." She got down on her knees and buried the potatoes in the burning peat. Then she took a little broom that stood near by, and tidied up the hearth. Larry took the kettle to the well for more water.
She smoked it was a new fashion of which Lady O'Gara did not altogether approve a cigarette now and again and Terry supplied the gold-tipped, scented kind which Eileen took from a cigarette case of platinum with her name in turquoise at the corner. The cigarette case was a new possession. Lady O'Gara supposed that it came from Terry. She had not asked.
By standing on tiptoe his nose was just above the edge of the bog-hole, so he could see them. "I've got her," Eileen cried. "Run back for the bit of rope the Tinkers left, Dennis, and tie her, hard and fast!" Dennis ran for the rope while Eileen sat on the ground and held the little pig in her arms. The little pig squealed and kicked and tried every minute to get away.
Perhaps I was a little rough with Cleopatra, but she had scratched Shot's nose. You know what Shot is! It was an entirely unprovoked attack. I believe I did say that Cleopatra should be sent to the Cats' Home." Eileen appeared at this point, coming with an unwilling air. It was true that her staying within-doors so much had not improved her looks. She had not a very good circulation at any time.
