He had seen men immolating themselves gladly because they had believed that by so doing they would make their country a finer one to live in. "It was the wrong way," he said to himself, "but in the end, nothing matters but that a man shall offer his life for his belief!" Gilbert Farlow and Ninian Graham had not sought, as he had sought, to escape from destiny or to elude death.
Graham had invited him there several times, but he had not been able to accept the invitations: once his father had been ill, and he had had to hurry to Portrush, where he was staying, and remain with him until he was well again; and another time he had been with Gilbert Farlow at his home in Kent; and another time had agreed to go tramping in Connacht with Marsh and Galway.
He had not written a word after that for more than a month, and he might not have written anything for a longer period had he not heard from Gilbert Farlow that he had finished a comedy in three acts and had sent it to Mr. Alexander. The news stimulated him, and in a little while he was itching to write again.
"Do you mean," she inquired solemnly, "that you'd rather be a bad girl and go out of bounds and be whipped rather than be good and stay in bounds?" "If you please, Miss Farlow." Anne stood her ground bravely though her knees were shaking. "Anne Lewis, if whipping will not make you obey, we must must try something else," Miss Farlow said severely.
They would soon have a position, especially if, as seemed probable, Canon Farlow did get the first vacant bishopric. Jimmy had not much fear as to what Vera's answer would be. They had got to know one another very well in that fortnight at Drylands, and much of her almost prim reserve had already disappeared.
Jimmy corrected him quietly. "I am engaged to Miss Farlow. I am sorry if I didn't make that quite clear to you." If men in his position did such things, the Canon would have snorted; as it was, however, he remembered his dignity in time. "Pardon me, Mr. Grierson, my daughter knows better than to accept a proposal of marriage from any man without my permission.
Grierson, don't you? May Marlow's brother. Jimmy, I hope you haven't been so rude as to forget Miss Farlow. You met her at our house, on that one visit you paid us, before you suddenly went away and lost yourself." Jimmy flushed, and raised his hat again.
In June his father would return from Panama, and after a few weeks at home Pat was to go with his Aunt Sarah to the Adirondacks. But we must go back to Anne, whom we left telling fairy tales to an audience across the hedge. A rainy afternoon a few days later, a trim nurse-maid brought a note to Miss Farlow. It was from Mrs.
Henry's mind was oddly perverse; he had been as fierce in his denunciation of convention as ever Gilbert Farlow had been, but nevertheless he clung to conventional things with something like desperation. It was characteristic of him that he should palliate his submission to the conventional thing by inventing a sensible excuse for it.
Grimmer is not at home," the servant said, in answer to her inquiry. Mrs. Richards began to open her card case, then, acting on a sudden resolution, she looked up again and asked, "Is Miss Farlow in?" "Yes, madam," the maid answered. Mrs. Richards closed her card case with a snap, and followed the maid into the drawing-room.
