"Ena" might pass muster for an abbreviation of "Innocent" she decided to make use of that as a Christian name but a surname that would be appropriately fitted to her ultimate intentions she could not at once select. Then she suddenly thought of the man who had been her father and had brought her as a helpless babe to Briar Farm. Pierce Armitage was his name and he was dead.
"You never wrote me," said Ena, thinking it was better to chatter than let Lord Raygan talk, perhaps indiscreetly. And there were still more floors at which the elevator must stop before reaching the ground level. "I I do trust you would have written if you'd wanted anything done that I could do."
Ena gazed at it appreciatively and liked the look of her foot in a high-heeled green suède shoe with a gold buckle. "My private opinion is that dear little Eileen was tickled to death by the mistake. The only thing she didn't like about it was its being a mistake." "If you talk like that, I'll wish the whale was Jonah's," said Petro. "She does love you!"
The child's ena, or mother, was evidently very proud of her daughter, and through the interpreter, told me that within a year the little maid was to marry a datto in a neighbouring town.
It was a shame, however, that the effect of the orchid as well as the gardenias should be wasted, and the morning after their visit to the Hands, Ena made an opportunity of speaking to Petro alone. He was in his own "den," one of the smallest rooms in the house, meant for a dressing-room, and opening off his bedroom.
Ena says he's "glue," because he has no interest in life, and that it'll cheer him up if I encourage him to talk to me about some philanthropical schemes he has. One is a "Start in Life Fund" for deserving and clever young people who need only a hand up to get on. I wish I could go in for it myself but perhaps I'm not deserving or clever.
But Ena and Mubs and Rags and I can wallow as long as we like and have gorgeous breakfasts in our rooms. Mubs thinks Mrs. R. is a fool, because she can hardly understand what a woman wants with a vote, but I think she's a dear.
But whatever happened in the end which, one way or the other, must come soon between Ena and Raygan, Peter mustn't lose the Lady in the Moon because of a stupid promise exacted and made to get his sister out of some scrape. Eileen wouldn't break the promise, because a promise was one of the few things she and her brother Rags had never broken.
"Oh, thank you many times, but I couldn't possibly!" cried Win. "I don't need it. I have lots of money." "I'm glad though I should have liked the pleasure," said Ena. And she genuinely would, because the act of giving would have pumped warmth into the cold place without waiting for time to change the temperature. "There's one thing you must let me do, anyhow," she persisted.
Nothing really worth having nothing really worth father's years of hard work could come to them as a family until Peter Rolls ceased to identify himself personally with the Hands, Ena had pleaded, and at last the head of the establishment engaged an official "understudy" to represent him every day in the gorgeously furnished office which had seemed to old Peter what the body is to the soul.
