The floor chosen by Ena had a series of "Ideal Rooms," furnished according to periods, and she led Raygan into a Dutch dining-room with a high-backed settle which, if they sat down upon it, would screen them from passers-by outside the open, welcoming door. Besides, the old oak made a becoming background for a blue velvet dress and silvery ermine stole.
"It isn't you I mind. It's only something that Raygan would call bally rot in the paper." "Something about us?" Ena was alert in a moment. "Only about me." "Is that all! You're so silly about having things in the paper! Almost anything's better than nothing, I feel, as long as they don't go raking up father's and mother's past. Oh, I know you think their past's the best thing about them.
Snatching the cup from my hands, he shouted out, "Ah, karhowree sabbee lee-lee ena arva tee maitai!" in other words, what a blockhead of a white man! this is the real stuff! We could not have been more startled had a frog leaped from his mouth.
The moon was struggling out through black clouds and pouring silver into the sea's ink, but the girl in the moon was gone. When he found Ena again which was easy because of the ruby cloak she was sitting between Raygan and Lady Eileen on the boat deck.
It was there that I first met Miss Ena Garnier. It may not seem proper at such a time and place as this that I should describe that lady. And yet her personality is the very essence of my case. Let me only say that I cannot believe that Nature ever put into female form a more exquisite combination of beauty and intelligence.

It would spoil the girl's pleasure in her wedding. Old Peter was furious with young Peter, but began angrily to realize that the matter was indeed serious.
But outwardly he appeared to be much as usual, and was so nice to the Irish guests that Ena was grateful, though never remorseful. Indeed, she had so much to think about that she almost forgot her little act of diplomacy in eliminating an undesirable sister-in-law.
And she'd be mad as the dickens if she could hear." "Perhaps she'd be mad," Ena admitted, "because it is true. If it weren't she'd only laugh. You're a simple Simon not to see. Everybody else with eyes does see. And they'll all be sorry for her if you don't speak." "Any one would think I was a dog and she was a bone," growled Petro. "Speak, indeed! I wish you'd mind your own business, Ena."
He was old enough, at sixty-eight, to appreciate the luxury of peace and quietness, he had put on an old lounge coat and an easy pair of slippers, and was thoroughly enjoying himself in a comfortable arm-chair with a book and a cigar. The book was by "Ena Armitage" the cigar, one of a choice brand known chiefly to fastidious connoisseurs of tobacco.
Wondering what on earth was to be done, Win suddenly recalled the look in Ena Rolls's eyes, which had said as plainly as spoken words: "For heaven's sake get me out of this scrape, and do or say something to put Lord Raygan off dragging me with him to your horrid old blouse department." "She won't let them come!" Win told herself. "Somehow she'll prevent it. I'll stick to my guns."
