As for that young puppy Hoggenwater, I would like to kick him round the room! Lord, look how he is leaning over her! It sickens me! The young fool!" Mrs. Ellerwood turned round in her seat and surveyed the room. They had almost come to the end of dinner, and could move their chairs a little.
He did not recognize the fact that without the zeal of blind faith as to the right, human nature must always yield to inclination. So they sat there and ate their supper, and forgot to-morrow, and were radiantly happy. As they had gone down the stairs Monica Ellerwood had joined Lady Bracondale in the gallery above. "Oh! Look, Aunt Milly!" she had said.
Do you want to help them to part or to meet? or to go to heaven or to hell? or to spend what Monica Ellerwood calls 'a Saturday to Monday amid rural scenery, which means both of those things one after the other!" "Crow, dear, you are disagreeable," said Lady Anningford, "and I have a cold in my head and cannot compete with you in words to-day." "Then say what you want, and I'll listen."
"My dear Monica," said Jack Ellerwood, who joined rarely in the conversation, "Hector has been sitting facing this way all through dinner. He is a man who can appreciate what he sees, and I do not fancy has missed much have you, Hector?" and he smiled a quiet smile. Mrs. Ellerwood looked at Lord Bracondale and laughed. "It is I who am stupid," she said.
"Really, Monica, how fortunate to have secured you at short notice like this," Lord Bracondale was saying. "I only found I had a free evening at breakfast, and I met Jack on my way to the polo-ground just in the nick of time." "We love coming," Mrs. Ellerwood replied. "For unsophisticated English people it is a great treat.
"Now just to punish your curiosity I shall do no such thing." "Hector, you are a pig." "Probably." "And so selfish." "Possibly." "Why mayn't I know? You set a light to all sorts of suspicions." "Doubly interesting for you, then." "Provoking wretch!" "Don't you think you would like some coffee? The waiter is trying to hand you a cup." Mrs. Ellerwood laughed.
