Now and then, Dear Reader, when not to much worried with finances, I look back and recall those halycon days when Love had its place in my life, filling it to the exclusion of even suficient food, and rendering me immune to the questions of my Familey, who wanted to know how I spent my time.
Our relations continued business-like to the last. He said: "Good night, little authoress, and let's have some more talks." "I'm afraid I've board you," I said. "Board me!" he said. "I haven't spent such an evening for years!" The Familey acted perfectly absurd about it. Seeing that they were going to make a fuss, I refused to say with whom I had been walking.
Had I felt any greif at decieving my Familey, the bridge party would have knocked them. For, as usual, I had not been asked, although playing a good game myself, and having on more than one occasion won most of the money in the Upper House at school. I was early at the theater. No one was there, and women were going around taking covers off the seats.
For William can no longer do it, as he was not really a Butler at all but a Secret Service Inspector, and also being still in the Hospital, although improving. He had not told the Familey, as he was afraid they would not then treat him as a real Butler. As for the code in the pantrey, it was really not such, but the silver list, beginning with 48 D. K. or dinner knives, etcetera.
This is well known in my Institution of Learning, where I am called impetuus and even rash. That night, my Familey being sunk in sweet slumber and untroubled by finances, I made a large card which said: "For Hire." I had at first made it "For Higher," but saw that this was wrong and corected it. Although a natural speller, the best of us make mistakes.
It was but one more Misunderstanding which convinced the Familey that I was carrying on all manner of afairs. Carter Brooks had arrived that day, and was staying at the Perkins' cottage. I got rid of the Perkins' baby, as his Nose was bleeding but I had not slaped him hard at all, and felt little or no compunction when I heard Carter coming down the walk.
Mademoiselle was once my Governess, but has retired to private life, except in cases of emergency. I am naturaly very quick in mind. The Archibalds are all like that, and when once we decide on a Course we stick to it through thick and thin. But we do not lie. It is rediculous for Hannah to say I said the cigarettes were mine. All I said was: "I suppose you are going to tell the Familey.
"Well, that's not unusual, you know." "It is in this case. Because I bought the picture in a shop, and just pretended it was him. He got up and paced the floor. "It's a very strange case," he said. "Do you mind if I light a cigarette? It helps to clear my brain. What was the name you gave him?" "Harold Valentine. But he is here under another name, because of my Familey.
Carter Brooks came to dinner that night because his people were out of town, and I think he noticed that I looked mature and dignafied, for he stared at me a lot. And father said: "Bab, you're not eating. Is it possable that that boarding school hollow of yours is filling up?" One's Familey is apt to translate one's finest Emotions into terms of food and drink.
Now it is one of the rules of this Familey that no house servants go to the Garage, owing to taking up the Chauffeur's time when he should be oiling up, etcetera. Also owing to one Butler stealing the Chauffeur's fur coat and never being seen again. But alas, what am I to do? For although I reported this being in the Garage to mother, she but said: "Don't worry me about him, Bab.
