"I wish Toronto was further from home than it is," she declared. "But there! I shan't worry about him. I'll leave him for Lord Erkskine and his wife to be ashamed of. He's their countryman, or he hopes he is. I've got enough to do bein' ashamed of those two American girls." It may be gathered from these conversations that Hephzy and I had been so fortunate as to obtain a table by ourselves.
Her country wouldn't be proud of her, if it had to listen to her the way we do. There's some exports it doesn't pay to advertise, I guess, and she and her sister are that kind. Every time they laugh I can see that Lady Erkskine shrivel up like a sensitive plant. I hope she don't think all American girls are like those two." "She probably does." "Well, IF she does she's makin' a big mistake.
When our own Steward came I asked him. "Yes, sir," he answered, with unction. "Yes, sir, that is Lord and Lady Erkskine, sir, thank you, sir." Hephzy stared at Lord and Lady Erkskine. I gave our luncheon order, and the steward departed. Then her indignant disgust and disappointment burst forth. "Well! well!" she exclaimed. "And that is a real live lord! That is!
"That table for two is marked 'Lord and Lady Erkskine. Now we must watch when they come in." A few minutes later a gray-haired little man, accompanied by a middle-aged woman entered the saloon and were seated at the small table by an obsequious steward. Hephzy gasped. "Why why, Hosy!" she exclaimed. "That isn't the lord, is it? "I suppose it must be," I answered.
A lord looks like Ase Tidditt, and champagne tastes like vinegar and soda. Tut! tut! tut! if I had to drink that sour stuff all my life I'd probably look like Asaph, too. No wonder that Erkskine man is such a shriveled-up thing." I glanced toward the captain's table. Mr. Heathcroft raised his glass. I bowed and raised mine.
