He was unpopular enough in the country as it was.
'She is a ward in Chancery, you know, and she will not come of age until she is twenty-five. Peter, of course, has a very large fortune. Still, one would not like to be responsible for a marriage, even if it is suitable, and I should not like the Erskines to think I had not looked after Jane properly.

Had he but known it, he was destined not to keep his promise of the morrow, and once more it was Starr Wiley who intervened. It happened that Thode stopped in at the club after taking leave of the Erskines, and arrived at a most opportune moment.
North and Winnie will be here, of course; the Erskines, Harrington Chase, the Judsons, Mrs. Beekman " "Me for her!" interjected Vernon. "She's the best all-round sport in the crowd, and the only girl who can win cups at tennis and polo and yet manage to look pink-and-white in the evening. I'll ask mother to let me take her in.
