So I sometimes see Robert at dinner." "And he tells you things, and you're indiscreet about them!" said Lady Evenswood rebukingly. "I believe Robert considers me a sort of ante-room to publicity. And it's so much easier to disown a wife than a journalist, isn't it, Mr Tristram?" "Naturally. The Press have to pretend to believe one another," he said, smiling.
"He'd have bitten my head off, if the women hadn't been there," he confided to Iver afterward. Mr Disney slowly sat down again. Mina did not perceive the significance of this action, but Lady Evenswood did. "It's such an extraordinary case, Robert. So very exceptional! Poor Addie Tristram! You remember her?" "Yes, I remember Addie Tristram," he muttered "growled," Mina described it afterward.
"He was thinking of the family of the family as a whole. I'm sure you think of that too," urged Lady Evenswood. There would never be a Tristram who did not, she was thinking. Well, except Addie perhaps, who really thought of nothing. "Of course as a thing purely personal to you it might be just a little difficult."
He looked mockingly at Southend. "I've been screwed up all for nothing, it seems," said he. "Why, you're ?" "Let me introduce myself, Mr Tristram. I came to look for my wife, and my name is Disney. I intend to keep mine, and I know better than to try to alter yours." "I thought it would end like this!" cried Lady Evenswood. "Shan't we say that it begins like this?" asked Mr Disney.
He awoke with a start to the fact that he was still, in the main, living with and moving among people who smacked strong of Blent, who had known him as Tristram of Blent, whose lives had crossed his because he was Addie Tristram's son. That was true of even his new acquaintance Lady Evenswood truer still of Neeld, of Southend, aye, of Sloyd and the Major most true of his cousin Cecily.
"That's the corner-stone," Southend agreed. "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" pursued Lady Flora. "But Diana was never a wife, if I remember." "Though how they do it, my dear," marvelled Lady Evenswood, "is what I don't understand." "I know nothing about them," Lady Flora declared. "And they know nothing about me.
"I dare say that's Robert," remarked Lady Evenswood. "He said he might call." "Oh, by Jove!" exclaimed Southend with a laugh that sounded a trifle uneasy. The door opened, and a man came in unannounced. He was of middle height, with large features, thick coarse hair, and a rather ragged beard; his arms were long and his hands large.
"You'll know what you've done soon." "Shall I? How shall I find it out?" "You'll be sorry when when a certain thing happens." He threw himself into a chair with a peevish laugh. "I confess your riddles rather bore me. Is there any answer to this one?" "Yes, very soon. I've been to see Lady Evenswood." "She knows the answer, does she?" "Perhaps." Her animation suddenly left her.
He can't have it; and as things are now she can't enjoy it." "Very perverse, very perverse, certainly," murmured Southend, frowning although he was rather amused too. "With an obvious solution," said Lady Evenswood, "if only we lived in the realms of romance." "I have suggested a magician," put in Southend. "Though he doesn't look much like one," he added with a laugh.
She did not understand that it was complex and double-headed; it was neither Harry nor Cecily, but Harry and Cecily. Mina had been in that state of mind before Cecily came on the scene; it was natural now in Lady Evenswood. But it rendered her really useless.
