He added: "We should be ambushed because the Lady Fani refused to marry the Lord Ghek. She is Don Loris' daughter, and to refuse to marry a man is naturally a deadly insult. So he should ravage Don Loris' lands at every opportunity until he gets a chance to carry off the Lady Fani and marry her by force. That is the only way the insult can be wiped out." "I see," said Hoddan ironically.
He'd been beaming a moment before, with his arms full of silver plate, jewelry, laces, and other bits of booty from the town of Ensfield. But now he said desperately: "Yes, Lady Fani. But not the way I'd've treated my sister. My sisters, Lady Fani, bit me when they were little, slapped me when they were bigger, and scorned me when I grew up. I'm fond of 'em!
Don't you remember that you said a decorator meant a beautifier, and Fred said it meant a scene-painter? Fani can paint roses and flowers and garlands, and he wanted awfully to go. At first he said he must ask his mother; but then he thought it would be no use, because she said painting was no work at all, but only nonsense.
"I've come back," said Hoddan, "for a few more kilowatts." The red-headed man swore angrily. "Hush!" said Hoddan gently. "The Lady Fani is with us." The red-headed man jerked his head around and paled. Thal glowered at him. Others of Don Loris' retainers shifted their positions significantly, to make their oversized belt-knives handier. "We'll come in," said Hoddan.
This time he was almost inside it, with its hood and mantel actually over his head. The Lady Fani sat there with him. Don Loris seemed to put aside his peevishness only a little to greet Hoddan. "My dear fellow," he said complainingly, "I don't like to welcome you with reproaches, but do you know that when you absconded with that spaceboat, you made a mortal enemy for me? It's a fact!
When with both hands he tossed his long dark brown locks back from his forehead, and looked about with great shining expectant eyes, then instantly some new plan of comradeship darted into Oscar's busy brain; some new play in which Fani would be of use, either in the rôle of Artist, or Noble Bandit, or Tragedy-King.
Why don't you two walk on the battlements and talk about such things as persons your age find interesting?" Hoddan rose, gloomily. The Lady Fani, with a sigh of polite resignation, rose to accompany him. The Ambassador said suddenly: "Hoddan! I forgot to tell you! They found out what killed that man outside the power station!"
I don't know how, and the fisherman couldn't leave his work so long." "I can row myself. I took four people out in a boat once, when I was making a visit, near a lake, to some friends of mamma's. I have often rowed about alone. You don't know how skilful I am." Fani was quite satisfied. He never dreamed of questioning Emma's capability.
Forgive me, dear, and believe that I do love you, and that I will be a real loving mother to Fani, as I would be to you " She stopped, overcome by her own emotion. Elsli's face beamed with a radiant smile. She lifted her feeble arm and laid it around Mrs. Stanhope's neck. "I am going to Nora," she whispered; "I will tell her how good you have been to us. I love you," she added, and it went to Mrs.
In the midst of assurances that they were not injured, and of attempts to explain what had happened, the two tired miscreants fell asleep, and Aunt Clarissa went to her room with thankful heart that things were no worse. The next morning Fani was determined, in spite of his weariness of limb, to be punctual at the breakfast table.
