The time was drawing nearer when he meant to ask Estelle to marry him, and since he looked now at life and all its relations from this standpoint, he began to consider his son therefrom. On the whole he was cheered by Estelle's achievements and argued well of them. The danger he set aside, and chose rather to reflect on the hope.
Estelle's eyes opened wide as the meaning of his last sentence penetrated her mind. "You mean that all of us won't " "I'm going to take care of you," Arthur said gravely, "but there are liable to be lively doings around here when people begin to realize they're really in a tight fix for food. I'm going to get Van Deventer to help me organize a police band to enforce martial law.
Estelle's light, almost flaxen locks were brushed back from her forehead, and tied behind with a rose-coloured ribbon, but uncovered, except by a tiny lace cap on the crown of her head; Ulick's darker hair was carefully arranged in great curls on his back and shoulders, as like a full-bottomed wig as nature would permit, and over it he wore a little cocked hat edged with gold lace.
Everything is wrong for it to turn out happy in the end. I'm terribly fond of you, but I should be scared to death of you, simply scared to death, as a husband. We're not the same kind.

Round-eyed and attentive, Estelle poured her whole heart and soul into the business. She showed a quick perception and asked questions that interested the girls. Some, indeed, they could not answer. Estelle's mind approached their work from a new angle and saw in it mysteries and points calling for solution that had never challenged them.
But if she's all right and all she's thought to be, and all Estelle thinks her for Estelle's a jolly good student of character then, frankly, I don't think it's sporting of you to do what you're doing." The word 'sporting' summed the situation from Waldron's point of view and he said no more. Raymond grew milder. "She's all Estelle thinks her. I have a great admiration for her.
"Whether he's better or worse I truly couldn't tell you," Aurora said in answer to Estelle's first question. After a moment she added, "I can't make him out." Estelle saw that she was deeply troubled, and, herself troubled at the sight, did not press her for explanations. During the drive home Aurora made only one other remark. It was delivered with a certain emphasis.
Paul's gaze wandered over the side-board. "See if you can find any brandy," he said to Andrieff, who instantly produced a decanter.
