There was Petro's chance to score, and right or wrong he took it. "Then things have changed since the days when you were being brought up," he said, with one of those straight, clear looks old Peter had always disliked as between son and father. "Because, you know you promised Ena you would give up going to the store except for important business meetings once or twice a year.
The creature looked brave and rather sweet, and Miss Rolls was quite sorry for her; but the thing had to be done. "Petro, you go away and let us have a talk," said Petro's kind sister gayly. "Two is company; three's none." And Petro went, thinking Ena the grandest sort of a pal. He had done his best for her already.
Could Ena have done something to put them apart? Eileen wondered. It would she had to admit be like Ena. And if Ena had been treacherous or hateful, then it would be a sort of poetical justice if she lost Raygan through making her brother lose his dryad. Even now Eileen did not know what Rags would do; and since their day at the Hands, he had seemed somehow "off" the affair with Ena.
Her brother Peter and Lady Eileen were somewhere in the shop. This was the day chosen for the sightseeing expedition insisted upon by Raygan. Ena had hated the idea of it, hated having to be associated in Raygan's eyes with the Hands. She had felt a presentiment that something horrid would happen, but she hadn't supposed it would be quite so horrid and upsetting as this.
He remembered Ena's protest against his friendship for a "dressmaker," and her kindness later. He remembered asking himself on the dock if Ena could have made mischief. He had put the thought away as treacherous, not once, but many times. Now he did not put it away. He faced it, and wondered if he could ever forgive his sister. It seemed at that moment that he never could.
And Blythe, in a low quiet voice, thrilled in its every accent by the affection and sympathy of his honest spirit, told him the whole story of Innocent of her sweetness and prettiness of her grace and genius of the sudden and brilliant fame she had won as "Ena Armitage" of the brief and bitter knowledge she had been given of her mother of her strange chance in going straight to the house of Miss Leigh when she travelled alone and unguided from the country to London and lastly of his own admiration for her courage and independence, and his desire to adopt her as a daughter in order to leave her his fortune.
"I thought you'd be coming along about this time." Peter threw his hat and coat at the whale, whose large, shining surface hospitably received them. Mrs. This animal she had herself created before the birth of Peter or Ena, but it was as bright a beast as if it had been finished yesterday. No one at Sea Gull Manor except Peter would have given Fido house room.
Girls don't need much help nowadays Who is she? Have I seen her?" "No. You haven't seen her." "Is she pretty?" Peter had expected that question. Ena, and all the other girls he knew, invariably asked it. But he did not quite know what to answer. "She's awfully attractive," he said. "The sort you'd turn and look after in a crowd.
We have splendid fun," Ena assured her. "The men are so kind to us." "I think they must be," Win agreed. "Mr. Rolls has been very kind. Are all the rest like him?" "I suppose they have different ways of being kind some of them. Some may be safer than others. I hardly know how to put it!" "I think I understand." "I wonder if you do. Oh, Miss Child, I wish I dared speak to you frankly!"
I don't know what she was driving at, I'm hanged if I do. But if I didn't like Rolls, I'd suspect." "But you do like him. And so do I." "I've noticed that. So would Mubs, if she ever noticed anything that didn't wave suffragette colours." "And I shall go on liking him 'right straight on, as he'd say himself. Nothing that Ena or anybody else could tell me would make me believe a word against him.
