You could tell from the very way they sat and held up their heads in the motor cars and dog carts and other things, that they thought the world was theirs, and they were the people to know in it. One was driving a tandem, and she didn't look more than seventeen. I was glad when she bowed to Mrs. Ess Kay, because she was pretty and I made up my mind that I should like to know her.
I had been too angry and excited after that scene of ours to feel unhappy, or to worry much about what might come next, but that drive, short as it was, with Potter freezingly silent, and Mrs. Ess Kay alarmingly polite, made me feel that the end had come.
Ess Kay laughed, and said, "Then what about that sherry cobbler?" While I was trying to think what she meant, Sally came into the hall, and immediately after I was surprised by a kind of musical moaning which began suddenly and kept on for a long time. "That's the Japanese gong," said Mrs. Ess Kay, when I looked round to see where the sound came from. "It's for dinner.
She wore a little buttoned hat of white piqué, with strings tied under her chin. "So," said Randy, after a moist kiss, "you are Fiddle-dee-dee?" "Ess " "Who gave you that name?" "It is her own way of saying Fidelity," Mary explained. "Isn't she rather young to say anything?" "Oh, Randy, she's a year and a half," Becky protested. "Your mother says that you talked in your cradle."
"You won't love me no less, eh, Will?" she whispered, holding his hand between hers; and he saw her grey eyes almost frightened in the gloaming. "My God, no! No, mother; a man must have a dirty li'l heart in un if it ban't big enough to hold mother an' wife." She gripped his hand tighter. "Ess fay, I knaw, I knaw; but doan't 'e put your mother first now, ban't nature.
"I'm glad you're here, Ess," said he, "you'll indulge me. Here is the key open my trunk and get me out a nightcap; I'm too tired, or too lazy, to get it for myself." Esther stooped down, opened the trunk, and commenced searching for the article of head-gear in question. "Come, Ess," said Charles, coaxingly, "tell me what this is about you and Mr. Walters."
"Surely you don't bob to them?" "Indeed we do," I protested. "Well then, I wouldn't," said Mrs. Taylour, firmly. "I'd have my head cut off first, especially before I'd curtsey to a Man." Quite a colour flew into her face as she asserted her independence, and Mrs. Ess Kay must have seen that the invalid was getting excited, for she rose quickly to go. "Come, Betty," said she, and I came.
Ess Kay, when we were settled in our places, "I know a good many people on the ship, but most of them are Nobodies, and I do not intend to be troubled with them, nor do I think that the Duchess would care to have me let Betty mix herself up with anybody and everybody. I shall do a great deal of weeding and select her acquaintances carefully." "Betty," indeed!
"I heard the mail go just 'fore the hare squealed," said Will stolidly, "an' the letter with it for certain." Grimbal started up and rushed to the hall while the other limped after him. "Doan't 'e do nothin' fulish. I believe you never meant to post un. Ess, I'll take your solemn word for that. An' if you didn't mean to send letter, 't is as if you hadn't sent un.
It also mentions Cousin Potter, and calls him 'one of our Army Dudes. But we don't mind, and you mustn't. Everybody reads The Flashlight, for the sake of the shocks, but nobody believes its flashes." "Still, you must have said something to the man," remarked Mrs. Ess Kay. "I only said 'No, but or 'Yes, but ," I insisted. "Truly and truly nothing else.
