The important question of his marriage after long consideration was decided by himself, when he selected an English Princess, niece of Edward VII., for his future Queen. The Princess Ena is the daughter of Princess Beatrice, youngest child of Queen Victoria, and Prince Henry of Battenberg, who was killed some years ago during one of the Kaffir wars in South Africa.
It's the bigness, I guess, that's seemed somehow to take your pa and Ena away from me long ago. But I've got you. And you let me come here. So I am happy. I'm a real happy woman, Petie. And I want you to be happy the way you used to be or some better way, not all restless like you are now.
Ena was more than a lady. She was an orchid, a princess. She ruled father with her little finger a beautifully manicured, rose-and-white finger, such as he had hardly seen when he was young. There was so much of himself in Ena that Peter yielded to her mandates as to the inarticulate cry of his own soul translated into words.
"Then don't you see, Ena," he said, "that this thing really must be hurried forward? De Brensault is ready enough, isn't he?" "Quite," she answered. "And he understands the position?" "I think so," the Princess answered. "I have given him to understand it pretty clearly." "Then have a clear business talk with him," Forrest said, "and then have it out with Jeanne.
Borrow a little false courage, if you lack the real thing." The man obeyed her suggestion with scarcely a protest. "I had hoped, Ena," he remarked a little peevishly, "to have found you more sympathetic." "You are so sorry for yourself," she answered, "that you seem scarcely to need my sympathy. However, sit down and talk to me reasonably."
"It's on the writing-desk in that darling sitting-room you've given Mubs and me." Ena felt rewarded for her sacrifice. It was a Providential chance to make their acquaintance and win their gratitude. "The stewardess told me before I moved down," she went on, "that Mme. Nadine had taken the ship's nursery this trip for her show, and fitted it with wardrobes and mirror doors at immense expense.
Rags wants him and Ena to take us to the place. What Ena did say to Peter was, "Poor little Eileen is falling in love with you." Peter didn't believe it. But it put a strange idea into his head. "No. 2884 Child, W. Pay Envelope. Details under flap," Winifred read on the neat, pale-brown packet put into her hand the night when she had served Peter Rolls for a week or was it five hundred weeks?
Ena had been lying down after luncheon. She had given herself this little rest because she knew that Raygan was going to play poker in the smoking-room.
Since then he's been much nicer, though, perhaps still a little absent-minded, which may come from being "blue." I should like to know what Ena said to him! But I suppose it's all right! Your chum and cousin, EILY. P.S. They've got a shop in New York. I forgot to tell you that a huge shop. It's never mentioned here, but Petro told me. He's not ashamed, but rather proud of the way the money came.
Innocent's heart gave a wild bound; for a moment she felt a struggling sensation in her throat moving her to cry out, and it was only with a violent effort that she repressed herself. "You've heard of Miss Armitage Ena Armitage, haven't you, Blythe?" went on the Duke, garrulously. "Of course! all the world has heard of her!" "Indeed it has!" and Lord Blythe bowed ceremoniously.
