Endsleigh Jarrott was a power in such matters as assemblies and cotillons. The ladies Colfax were little less influential; and while the sphere of the Poles and Endsleighs was in the world of art, letters, and scholarship, rather than in that of fashion and finance, they had the uncontested status of good birth.
It was with a certain sense of discovery that, by peering through the rose-colored twilight, Miriam discerned now a Jarrott or a Colfax, now an Endsleigh or a Pole faces more or less well known to her which she had not had time to recognize during the few hurried minutes in the drawing-room.
Endsleigh Jarrott is next but one to you," he said at another time. "She's airing her plans for the reconstruction of New York society." So for a while they kept one another in small talk, affecting the same sort of vivacity that obtained around them. It was not till dinner was half over that he asked in an undertone: "Who is your neighbor?" "I don't know," she managed to whisper back.
As well look for one snowflake in a drift as for one man in those crowded streets! all the same, he spent half an hour in wandering round the neighbourhood, looking eagerly at every tall figure he met or passed. And at the end of that time he went off to Endsleigh Gardens and reported progress to Professor Cox-Raythwaite.
Ringing the bell of one of the houses in Endsleigh Gardens, Mr. Tertius was presently confronted by a trim parlourmaid, whose smile was ample proof that the caller was well-known to her. "Is the Professor in, Mary?" asked Mr. Tertius. "And if he is, is he engaged?"
"He's so taken up with Mrs. Endsleigh Jarrott that he hasn't looked this way. I don't think he's any member of the family." "He must be," Wayne replied. "I know his voice. I have some association with it, but just what I can't remember." Miriam herself listened to hear him speak, catching only an irrelevant word or two. "He sounds English," she said then. "No, he isn't English.
He then carried in his hand a small, square bag, and he took great care to handle it very carefully as he went downstairs and into the square. At the corner of Orchard Street he got another taxi-cab and bade the driver go to Endsleigh Gardens. And during the drive he took the greatest pains to nurse the little bag on his knee, thereby preserving the equilibrium of the glass inside it.
Endsleigh Jarrott a Rubens Maria de Medici in white satin and pearls raise her lorgnette and call on a tall young man who stood beside her to take a look. There was no time to distinguish anything further before Miss Jarrott glided up, with mincing graciousness, to shake hands. "How do you do! How do you do! So glad you've come.
"I thought you might come." "I wasn't sure whether or not you knew me last night " "I didn't at first. I really hadn't noticed you, though I remembered afterward that you were standing with Mrs. Endsleigh Jarrott when Mr. Wayne and I came into the room. I wonder now if you recognized me?" "Oh, rather! I knew you were going to be there. I've been in New York a month."
Engledew's car had gone away, and they went hastily to Endsleigh Gardens, where Professor Cox-Raythwaite listened to the strange story in dead silence. "Mrs. Engledew lady living in Herapath Flats old friend of Jacob's possessed letters of his instrument for two men in possession of secret willing to fork out a thousand of her own," he muttered. "Gad! I take that to be genuine, Selwood!
