Bethune, watching her narrowly, that there is coquetry in it; undeveloped, certainly, but there. She is now a child; but later on? Maurice is smiling back at the child as if amused. Mrs. Bethune lays her hands upon his arm Lady Rylton has gone away with old Lady Eshurst. "Maurice! there will be just time for a walk before tea," says she in a whisper, her beautiful face uplifted very near to his.
And is she tired? There is no sense of fatigue, certainly, in the way she runs up the slope again, and flings herself gracefully upon the rug beside Mr. Gower. Mr. Gower has not stirred from that rug since. He seldom stirs. Perhaps he would not be quite so stout if he did. "You won your game?" says Margaret Knollys, bending towards Tita, with a smile. Old Lady Eshurst is smiling at her, too.
"Well, come, we'll try and manage it," says he, amused at her enthusiasm. They move away together. There had been no question about it; it had been a walk-over. Even Lord Eshurst and Miss Staines, who are considered quite crack people at tennis in this part of the county, had not had a chance. Tita had been everywhere; she seemed to fly. Every ball caught, and every ball so well planted.
"Yes yes; she is very charming," says Lady Rylton, as she hurries Lady Eshurst down the steps that lead to the path below. Good heavens! If she should hear some of Uncle Joe's funny stories! She takes Lady Eshurst visibly in tow, and walks her out of hearing. "What a good seat you must have!" says Mr. Woodleigh presently, who has been dwelling on what Tita has said about her riding.
"Dear Lady Eshurst, wouldn't you like to come and see the houses?" asks she. "I am afraid I must be going home," says old Lady Eshurst. "It is very late; you must forgive my staying so long, but your little friend by-the-bye, is she a friend or relation?" "A friend!" says Lady Rylton sharply. "Well, she is so entertaining that I could not bear to go away sooner."
