There is shooting and fishing there, and horses wild enough for even you to find pleasure in riding. We have tried many things in life. Let us make one last throw, and try the land of Arcady." He looked at her, at first in amazement. Afterwards some change seemed to come into his face, called there, perhaps, by what he saw in hers. "Ena," he said, "you mean it?" "Absolutely," she answered.
But I wouldn't miss the first sight of New York for a pound! Some people have no romance in them." Up till the last minute Peter had hopes of B deck; but they were blighted and disappointed, even depressed; he had to land with Ena and her friends without having seen Miss Child. Still, there was the pier, crowded with people who had come to wave welcome to the Monarchic.
He is the sort of person I can talk to. In fact I have already given him a hint." Forrest nodded understandingly. "But, Ena," he said, "if he really does shell out, won't you be sailing rather close to the wind?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I am not afraid," she said. "I know De Brensault and his sort. If he feels that he has been duped, he will keep it to himself.
Once, a long time ago, old Peter had dreamed of a young Peter succeeding him in the business; but Ena had made him see what a foolish dream that was foolish and inconsistent, too because, what was the good of slaving to satisfy your ambition, and then, when you reached the goal, instead of profiting by what you'd got, ordering your heir down to the level you'd worked to leave behind?
Winifred Child shrank farther into her corner, plastering herself against the wall of the elevator, and turning her face away, for the newcomers were Lord Raygan and Ena Rolls. As the wall consisted entirely of mirrors, however, turning away gave little protection.
We came here to stay a fortnight, but it's almost that now, and we couldn't be driven away with a stick. Ena is very nice, when she doesn't try to talk as if she were English, and quite handsome, with fine eyes, though not so good as her brother's. And he the brother, I mean is the dearest thing in the shape of a man you ever saw.
What Miss Rolls did was very simple, if you had the clue. But the clue was what Win lacked. "I thought we were due to meet Eily and Rolls about this time, and look at those wonderful pearls your father says he gets straight from the fisheries," Rags reminded Ena when the elevator dropped to the basement and began to bound up again.
Ena got out hurriedly, fearing to be stopped, or caught up in the surprisingly strong arms of Petro, and gently set down on the wrong side of the door. "She does! She does! I've thought so a long time. Now I know it. I mustn't tell you how." "You oughtn't to tell me how. It isn't true and it isn't kind to either of us. I hate hearing such darned nonsense about a girl who likes me as a friend.
Because I haven't met many others, I don't know whether or not the Rollses are just like all American millionaires who don't come abroad, or unique. But I have an idea they're unique. This is the most enormous house, built and named to please Ena, though it's no more a manor than the Albert Hall is. I don't believe she knows what "manor" means.
She this great lady whose rank permitted her to entertain the King and Queen heard of "Ena Armitage" as the brilliant author whose books were the talk of the town, and forthwith made up her mind that she must be seen at her house as the "sensation" of at least one evening.
